November 5, 1891 ~ Thursday 5 Finished from Oct 25 (Or After doing and suffering what we have through our adhereance to this principelle to scease the Practice and submit to the law and through doing so have the Prophets Apostls and Fathers at home so they can instruct the People and attend to the Duties of the Church, Also leave the Temples in the hands of the Saints of the Saints so they can attend to the ordinances of the Gospel both for the living & the Dead? Now the inspiration of the Lord will reveal to any person which course wisdom would dictate us to persue And the Latter day Saints throughout Israel should understand that the first Presidency of the Church And the Twelve Apostles are ledof and guided by the inspiration of the Lord And the Lord will not permit me nor any other man to lead the People Asstray)

Discourse 1891-11-02
Pres Woodruff said this government was founded on two
national parties, the Republicans & Democrats. He endorsed
the remarks of Pres Smith. He advised the Saints not to
quarrel or have strife one with another, but should choose
either party as it suited their belief, but not to allow it to take
them from their faith in the Gospel. He referred to his remarks
made at the Priesthood meeting last night relative to the man-
ner of settling difficulties. He advised all to make settlement
of their difficulties & troubles among themselves & not carry them
before the Bishop or High Council. He made reference to the
Priesthood & Apostleship held by the Prophet Joseph Smith
He spoke of the completing of the Salt Lake Temple & desired
the Saints of this stake to unite & assist with their means
to that end. The meeting was then adjourned. Singing.
Letter from Eric Petersson Lindquist, 2 November 1891
Salt Lake City
Presedent Wilford Woodruff
Dear Brother.
Replying to your letter of Oct. 25th [18]91 in
regard to me going on a Mission to
Scandinavia will say: In as much
as the Lord through his servants has
seen fit to call me to this work, and
I understand that the Lord will not call any
one unless he are willing and able to
protect and provide for him, I will
accept to call and can get readey on
the first named date Nov. 28th.
I am now over 63 years, and my wife
is 6 months older, but still she offers
to go out washing to suport hir self
while I am gone and Hoping that
our Father in Haven will protect
both of us and bless us, and help
us to perform our different Mission
and at last be saved in his
Kingdom I remain your
Brother in the Gospel of Christ
E. P. Lindquist.
The above statement is correct
he is willing to go, and his wife is just as willing that he should
go, and she is willing to support herself by the labor of her hands
Elias Morris,
Bishop
I think bro. L. is too old to take a
mission. How has he been called?
Is he needed, & able? J. F. S.
