The Prophet had a design to build a community of Saints. He had three major objectives: first, economic; second, educational; and third, spiritual…. The second basic principle is that of work.

338. Early Utahns Were Building Zion – George Q. Cannon quote, 1884
We would have a pure people here; we would have a Zion such as the Bible describes, if we were allowed; we would have a city in which angels might walk in the streets all day, if we could have our way; but Satan says: “You shall not.” – George Q. Cannon, 1/6/1884

Cowley, Oct Conference […]

329. Early Utahns Were Building Zion – Orson Hyde quote, 1855
If I feel at our approaching Conference as I now do, I shall ask to move that our home missions be not diminished, but increased, if possible; and all set to raising wheat, and make Zion a house and city of refuge for the Saints and for the sons of strangers, that they may come […]
