Brother Allen ^W. Woodruff^ said the Lord had chosen the weak things
of the earth to confound the wisdom of the world. Spoke upon
the erroneous ideas of the world regarding God. Thisere is but
one Gospel revealed for the salvation of the human family.
Joseph Smith knew the principles he brought forth were not
of himself but of God. If we build up Zion or administer in
any of the ordinances, it is by the gift and power of God. There
is no difference between an apostle, seventy or elder in this age
from any other age, to preach the Gospel. The apostles and great
men were chosen from those who walked in the most humble

walks of life. The Savior will come when even the Saints
look not for. Let us unite together and carry out the coun-
sels we have heard. Spoke upon the education of our
children. The mothers of Israel should pray and learn their
children to pray, and our children should grow up full
of faith. The aposles and elders are passing off, and the
responsibility of bearing off this Kingdom would rest upon
the rising generation. Every one would recieve the Glory he
lived for. He would like to be ascociated with Adam and
all the great and good men, when he leaves this world. Our
object is to work for our own salvation and the salvation of
our fellow men, and we need the spirit of the Lord to guide
us safe through. Let us labor while the day lasts. Desired
the Lord to bless those called to preside over us, and those who
were called to labor in the priesthood and the parents and
children.
