The young men were expected to guard the herds at night on the Mormon Trail. What were the expectations for the young women?
a.                  Scouting
b.                  Collect buffalo chips and watch young children
c.                   Wash the dishes
d.                  Assist the elderly
Yesterday’s answer:
A   Wilford Woodruff
From the life of Wilford Woodruff:   Political differences among leading Church officials induced President Woodruff and his counselors to issue a “political manifesto” which stipulated that “men called to spend all their time in the ministry shall not run into politics to the neglect of their spiritual calling without being properly released for that purpose.”
During the final two years of his administration Wilford Woodruff changed Fast Day from Thursdays to Sundays, ordained his son Abraham Owen Woodruff to the Quorum of the Twelve, became the first president to the Church to make a voice recording, and officiated at the Pioneer Jubilee celebration, dedicating the Brigham Young Monument on South Temple Street [Brigham Street] in Salt Lake City.
