Remarks

was the next speaker. Following is the substance of his remarks: There is peace in the midst of the Latter-day Saints. For this blessing we should be grateful, in view of the efforts that are being made to harass the community. I bear testimony to the truth of Brother Woodruff’s remarks. These principles will remain. They are the everlasting Gospel that has always existed and will continue. They unite the children of men together. In the end all men will know that God has spoken these things. It behooves the Elders and Saints to be true and faithful and warn the inhabitants of the earth of judgments soon to come. If we do this our reward is sure. There is a great work to be performed in the nations; also among the Saints at home. The labors of a teacher are very important. They should built up the Saints. Some of the people complain that they are neglected by the teachers, because they are devoted to temporal matters of a personal nature. It will be well for the Teacher in the ward or Sunday school to attend to his duties. If he do them he shall reap joy and rejoicing. So with the missionaries to foreign lands. They have received freely, freely should they give, testifying that God has again revealed the true Gospel. This active work creates in the hearts of those who engage in it an abiding love for the souls of men. There should be no division among the Saints. They should see eye to eye, and not be narrowed down in their feelings, reaching out after the honest in heart and seeking after those who grope in the dark, that they may be brought into the light of truth. All malice and evil-speaking should be eschewed. We should sustain and uphold, in their labors among the people, those who have been called of God to preside over his Church. If we are faithful to our trusts all will be well with us. ¶
