The Latter-day Saints throughout the valleys in these mountains and throughout the world ought to be learning what they are on this earth for.

#512 – Co-ops are a stepping stone – John Taylor – 1878
“Well, the time is passing, but before closing, I wish to say a word or two in regard to this cooperation in temporal things.

87. It’s Temporal Too!, Ezra T. Benson, 1862
“Now we want about a hundred good sturdy fellows that feel themselves able to go to work to raise wheat and cattle, and to do all that is necessary for the beautifying and building up of Zion. It is a good place to raise flax, hemp, and vegetables. To be sure the altitude is considerably […]
81. Building Zion is God’s Will, John Taylor, 1867
Some men have had visions concerning things that were to come relative to the restoration of Israel; the building up of Zion; the establishment of the Kingdom of God upon the earth; the reign of righteousness, when iniquity should be swept from the face thereof, when the “law should go forth from Zion, and the […]
86. Building Zion Requires Real Labor, George A. Smith, 1861
“The word of the Presidency is, brethren, it is necessary to strengthen the southern border of our thriving Territory, and this is for the general good of all. Now you go down south and raise cotton and you will be blessed more than you ever have been heretofore, and know that in doing this you […]

That we may be blessed, let us do our duty, gather the house of Israel, redeem and build up Zion, see Jerusalem established, and Jesus reign triumphantly upon the earth; which is my desire, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. – Brigham Young, 9/2/1860
72. Building Zion is God’s Will, Brigham Young, 1867
Do we know and understand that it is our business to build up Zion? To have seen the way this people have conducted themselves in years past, one would not have had the least idea that such was our business; but it made no difference whom we built cities for; many would build for Jew […]
205. We are obligated to build Zion, John Taylor, 1877
As mortal and immortal beings, as men holding the holy Priesthood that the Lord has conferred upon us for the establishment of his kingdom, the building up of his Zion, the redemption of the living and the dead, it is of the utmost importance that we stand forth, every one of us, and magnify our […]
109. Building Zion is God’s Will, Brigham Young, 1868
What does the Lord want of us up here in the tops of these mountains? He wishes us to build up Zion. What are the people doing? They are merchandising, trafficking and trading. – Brigham Young, 1/12/1868
