and we dare affirm that in the localities
where she has taught these classes, there will
be found the majority of members of the church
who are observing the Word of Wisdom.
In our humble way we are trying to
teach others this beautiful way of living but
one of the greatest difficulties we have
encountered is the sentiment that our
authorities do not publicly encourage this
work. However we remember with much
pleasure and satisfaction every word of
encouragement you have given us.
In conclusion. dear brethren, we testify
to our sincere appreciation of your labors
and our sympathy for you in your arduous
duties; that we eagerly listen to your counsels
and strive to make them a part of our daily
lives. We rejoice in being participants in
this great latterday work and our daily prayers
are for you and the welfare of Zion.
We wish to say that we are much gratified
in thus addressing you and we do this,
not in the pride of our hearts, but in
gratitude and humility before God and
subscribe ourselves your brothers and
sisters in the Gospel of our Lord
