Letter from Olive Lowry Anderson, 12 February 1898

Springville Utah To the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Dear Brethren The editorial article concerning the Word of Wisdom in the Juvenile Instructor of Jan 1st has made a deep impression on our minds. Through the inspirations of the Spirit and after fasting and unitedly seeking the Lord we have been led to address to you this testimonial. Testifying, that as members of the Church of Jesus Christ, as heads of families, and as members of the Physiological Reform Association, we do keep the Word of Wisdom. That this Association is the outgrowth of Sister Hannah Sorensen's teachings; that, though we believed and sought to practice the word of wisdom previous to our knowledge of her and her work, yet through her teachings we were shown a simple and practical way of living it. Her teachings are all in harmony with the Word of Wisdom; in fact, if we may use the illustration, the word of wisdom as revealed through the Prophet Joseph and taught by our beloved leaders today, is but the skeleton of the perfect form which her teachings clothe and make so gloriously beautiful. Through the labors of the dear humble sister our lives have been made better and purer and since practicing her teachings we have had more joy in serving the Lord.

Letter to Stake Presidents, 8 February 1898

Salt Lake City, Utah, . To the Presidents of Stakes throughout Zion, Dear Brethren: The requests for more missionaries made by the Presidents of the various missionary fields, especially in the United States, are increasing so rapidly and growing so pressing that we have thought it well to make a further requisition upon the various Stakes of Zion. This we do now: asking the Stake Presidencies to send us with as little delay as possible the names of as many brethren as they consistently can. As a rule brethren over 45 years of age are not able to satis- factoryily endure the toils and vicissitudes of missionary life, but, on the other hand, there are robust, well preserved brethren to be found among us who can do so for a number of years later. In making these selections we shall trust to your good judgment, and that you will seek the promptings and guidance of the Spirit of God. With this we enclose blank forms for your use in sending in your lists of brethren suggested for these labors. Your Brethren in the New and Everlasting Covenant, Wilford Woodruff Geo. Q. Cannon Jos. F. Smith
