Discourse 1889-05-19
day, , 1889. REPORTED BY A. WINTER. After an absence of five years, through the providence of God we are again permitted to meet with our friends in Sanpete. This is a privilege that we greatly prize. It is a great blessing to be able to come here as free men, and to have the opportunity of opening our mouths and teaching the people as we are moved upon by the Spirit of the Lord. I have no right to say that it has been so long since we preached to the people that we have forgotten how; but I have a right to say that we are just as much dependent today upon the Lord for His Holy Spirit, to guide us in our teaching and in- struction to the people, as we ever were. And in order for us to enjoy this blessing, we need the faith and prayers of the Latter-day Saints
