Discourse 1889-08-12
Pres Woodruff said his feelings were that many of the rising generation before him will live until Christ comes in the clouds of Heaven. He wanted to see the young people stop doing that which is wrong and cultivate the Spirit of Prayer and fit and qualify themselves for active service in the Kingdom. The judgements of God are at our doors.
Discourse 1889-08-12
Pres W. Woodruff. A man has a right to preach what he practices. The word of Wisdom has been and is practiced by myself and Council. Don't go into debt. Don't bu[y]ing machinery which you can do without. Pay your debts. There are men who have withdrawn from the Church in order to accomplish their political rights. I wish to say to them that they are justified before the Lord. Pres Woodruff justifies the Mormons with- drawing from the Church to vote. The congregation voted in unison. Wherever there is a Church established that has not Apostles, Prophets and other officers of the Church it is not the Church of God. Where they have not the authority of the Eternal Priesthood there is no Church of Christ. Abraham Isaac and Jacob were Patriarchs they held the Holy Priesthood. Joseph Smith organized this Church by the power of the Priesthood. How greatly the children of the L. D. S are blessed to live in the midst of Prophets, Apostles, Elders &c who have the word of God. Their fathers hold the Priesthood They should obey them and honor them. No man can comprehend the torments and sufferings of those who have tasted of the blessings of Eternal life and turn therefrom. Spoke of the mission of Bro Cannon to the Sandwich Islands and the introduction of the Gospel to that people. The speaker said his life had been preserved many times through listening to the voice of the Spirit. Related many incidents in support of the above.
