Female Relief Society, September 20, 1875

Meeting held Sept 20, 1875
Opened with singing, "On the Mountain Tops Appearing".  Prayer by Sister Peel.  Singing "Let Us Our Journey Pursue". Sister Morrison addressed the meeting and said that the many deaths of friends who were called to account for the deeds done in the flesh. Caused her to reflect and ask herself the question, "are you ready to go?"  Said she knew there were many trials, but whom the Lord loveth, he chasteneth".  Jesus said "as we sow, so shall we reap."  If we wish to be saved, we must save ourselves, and not depend upon others to save us.
The minutes of a former meeting were read and accepted.  The teaachers reports were read.  Sister Frantzen said that the people in her ward felt well and that there was a general desire to assist as much as it was in their powers.  Sister Morrison spoke on the education of the children.  Said it was the duty of the sisters to do all in their power that their children might have a good education and exhorted them to urge the matter.
Sister Simpson, Peel and several others bore their testimonies.
Meeting closed with singing and prayer by Sister Peterson
Hilda Dehlin, Secretary
