Discourse 1889-08-11
Pres W. Woodruff said it gave him great pleasure and Satisfaction to meet in this beautiful building with the Saints of Bear Lake. This is one of the most beautiful houses ever built by the Saints in this generation and it is a credit to the Pres of this Stake of Zion and the Elders and Saints who have assisted We have no reason to be discouraged concerning this great work. Joseph Smith lived 14 years to lay the foundation of this work. The Lord has so far fulfilled his promises to us. He has never forsaken His people in the midst of all their trials and persecution nor will He in time to come. There is no people on the earth that has been called to so great a work as the L. D. S. Many of the revelations and prophecies would have failed had not the Saints been gathered out. One of the greatest testimonies is in the fact of all the Sects of the world being united in the persecution of this people. This work is not dead, and it is not going to die. We are here upon a mission to help build up this Kingdom and if faithful we shall, continue our labors behind the veil. Read the Book of Mormon. Doc and Cov, the Bible and all good books. We have built three Temples in these Vallies where we can officiate for our dead and where that work is being performed day by day. When we go behind the veil we will find our history recorded in the Courts above
Discourse 1889-08-11
Pres W. Woodruff felt thankful for the opportunity of again partaking of the Sacrament. made remarks thereon. Gave an outline of the organization of the Church through the Prophet Joseph Smith. Also on the Priesthood as being the only power by which man can administer in the ordinances of life and salvation. No matter what position a man holds if he honors his Priesthood that man has power with the Heavens. Such a man cannot be led astray. This people will never be led astray, they will never be without a law giver until Christ comes to reign. The second coming of the Son of man is near at hand, the prophecies will all be fulfilled. Let us do our duty and leave our enemies in the hands of God. The Lord will not require the L. D. S. to go to war or stain their hands with blood nor will he permit our blood to be shed only perhaps in individual cases, but not as a general thing. Honor God and keep His commandments. To the young people he would say learn to pray, they will have to bear off the Kingdom
