Public sermons by Mormon leaders from 1851-1886
“From the state of embryo to the time of birth, and from infancy to ripe old age, unseen dangers lurk in our path to mar our bodies or to render our senses inefficient; hence we see the lame, the maimed, the blind, the deaf, dumb, weak, sickly, and so on.”
Brigham Young, October 6, 1862 · Future State of Existence · JD 10:24-25
