Elder W. Woodruff , said a man must live his religion if he expects to be benefited by it. He was satisfied that a faithfull man of God will have his reward. One fault among latter day saints was a looseness in paying his obligations. We should improve in this No one apostatizes from this church in a day, it generally commences in a neglect of duty. Many both in and out of the Church find fault with Prest Young, and say that he tyranizes over the people, but he has known him for many years, both in public and private, and no one, whom he ever knew had so few failings as Brigham Young. but He had been a great benefactor to the poor, whom he had brought from their poverty in the old country. And placed them in comfortable circumstances in these vallies. We as a people must keep the commandments of God if we expect to be saints. We must try to overcome our taste for Tea, Coffee, Tobacco, Whiskey &c it was a warfare, and will be, as long as we live, but the path that leads to eternal life is a narrow one.
