Quotes

View selected quotes from this page in Wilford Woodruff's journal.

We have much joy in the progress of the work of the Lord in the lands where you have charge; and we believe that the publication of the Book of Mormon in the native tongue will have a highly beneficial effect among the natives. Yiour course in reporting to them your receipts and expenditures will also greatly add to the good feeling of the Saints. The Maoris have evidently had their confi- dence shaken by the methods of sectarian missionaries in financial matters. We msust do our utmost to build up confidence in their hearts towards us, that they may not only know that the Lord has revealed His gospel in these last days and made us its ministers, but also that is fruits are manifested in our lives, and that we have learned that all men are the sons of God and should be treated as brethren in all the relationships of life.
~ Wilford Woodruff
