Elder Woodruff noticed that Mor-
monism is a living, acknowledged fact
in the earth. The wicked have a great
deal more fear that it is true than that
it is false. For years they have striven
to overthrow it, still it lives, and is
growing in power and importance. We
have no right to expect that the Lord
will do for us what we can do for our-
selves. He is blessing us with contin-
ually increasing light and knowledge,
revealing principles by which we may
become more firmly and closely united,
and requires of us that we carry out the
great work commenced for the salva-
tion of man temporally and spiritually.
