Discourse 1895-04-21
Prest Woodruff—Refered to his experience in the early history of this church, showing the great obstaclecles which the Saints and especially the leaders of the Church had to contend with and overcome and many more were overcame by the adversary of all truth. Showed that the same poersons, and influences are still laboring to overcome and destroy this work and it b[e]hoves the Saints to become more firmly united in this great work, and labor for the salvation of the human race, and the establishment of the Zion of our God.
