FEMALE RELIEF SOCIETY - - -MAY 11th, 1874

May 11th, 1874
Opened by singing and prayer by Sister Peel.  Minutes of a former meeting were read and accepted.  Sister  Morrison made a few remarks concerning the "United Order".  She said its like a new revelation to us in a way; hoped that we may be all prepared  for everything that will come along and also mentioned about this day being the 5th anniversary of the F.R. Society.

Sisters Monroe and Bransted both felt well; Sister Christina Jensen feels to do all the good she can to sustain this work.  She feels satisfied that something must come to wake us up and be one for Jesus said if we are not one, we ar none of his.  Several of the sisters spoke in Danish.  A good spririt prevailed.  Sister Seely and Sister Peterson visited the 4th Ward and gave good reports. . . hope to continue faithful so as to be worthy of the blessings from the faithful.  sister Peterson and Christison bore their testimony and felt well and feel something must come to unite us.  Sister Morrison remarked that the Gospel is good news to them that receive it. Let us remember that our desire was to be saved in the Kingdom of our God.  Everything that has been revealed is for our good.  For instance, now . Celestial Marriage, baptism for the dead, our journey across the plains that has been a trial for some.  This "United Order" is one more thing to purify us; let us trust in God and do the right.

A vote was taken that all present would fast and pray on the first Thursday in the next month that Sister Olsen's little girl should be restored to her health again.  Sister  Peel explained in the Danish language what had been said and made a few remarks.  Sister Winkler and Hasler  felt well, hope to remain to the end.  Sister Harsley hoped that more united will soon bind us more together.  She said let us encourage the Sunday School. . .  that will be one step towards it.   Sister A. Johnsen gave good reports of the 3rd Ward.
