I wish to make a few remarks in relation to what we term the United Order. We are united today with God, and with the holy Priesthood that existed before us, with Jesus the Mediator of the New Covenant, and with the ancient Prophets and Apostles and men of God, in building up the Zion […]
It’s Temporal Too!
375. Its Temporal Too! – Wilford Woodruff quote, 1878
Now, brethren and sisters, I do not wish myself to occupy all your time this morning, but I want to say to you that our position, our calling, our religion embrace the noble work of God, both temporal and spiritual, which rests upon us. We have to go forth with our hands and build up […]
425. Its Temporal Too! – John Taylor quote, 1873
In speaking of the affairs of this world, it is often asked by many—“Why, should we not attend to them?” Of course we should. Do we not talk of building up Zion? Of course we do. Do we not talk of building cities and of making beautiful habitations, gardens and orchards, and placing ourselves in […]
382. Its Temporal Too! – Brigham Young quote, 1877
I say, let us gather and accumulate the things of the earth in the manner indicated by the Lord, and then devote it to God and the building up of his kingdom. What little property I have I wish it to be devoted to the building up of Zion, and I suppose I have as […]
419. Its Temporal Too! – Brigham Young quote, 1867
This is the land of Zion; but we are not yet prepared to go and establish the Center Stake of Zion…. Now, it is for you and me to prepare to return back again; …to return east, and by-and-by to build up the Center Stake of Zion. We are not prepared to do this now, […]
398. Its Temporal Too! – John Taylor quote, 1879

369. Its Temporal Too! – Brigham Young quote, 1870
What is my feeling today? The same as it has been for years concerning houses, lands and possessions. I say to the people, “If you will give me for my property half what it has cost me I will devote that means for the gathering of the poor and the building of Zion upon the […]
277. Its Temporal Too! – John Taylor quote, 1875
…we are gathered here to serve God and keep his commandments, and to build up his Zion upon the earth. After praying for years that God would inspire his servant Brigham with the Spirit of revelation, that he might be able to lead forth Israel in the path in which they should go, he tells […]
247. Its Temporal Too!, Brigham Young, 1860
I know how to build a meetinghouse—how to place the first and last stone and piece of board, and how to put on the first and last touch of paint. I know how to build a mill and put the machinery in it, and I intend to keep improving as long as I live. There […]
250. Its Temporal Too! Brigham Young, 1874
I will now ask the question, where is the individual who can draw the line and show us that, when Jesus prayed that his disciples might be one, he meant a oneness only in spiritual things, and that it was not to extend to temporal affairs? Will any of you draw the line and tell […]
255. Its Temporal Too!, John Taylor, 1878
And if we, as Latter-day Saints, were to strictly observe the Sabbath day, and pay our tithes and offerings, and meet our engagements, and be less worldly minded, be united in temporal and spiritual things, Zion would arise and shine, and the glory of God would rest upon her. – John Taylor, 7/7/1878
