Providence of the Almighty
—————————————————

“The pioneers regarded their coming west as a blessing divinely given. Said Brigham Young on one occasion: ‘I do not wish men to understand I had anything to do with our being moved here, that was the providence of the Almighty; it was the power of God that wrought out salvation for this people, I never could have devised such a plan.’ (Discourses of Brigham Young, ed. John A. Widtsoe, Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1954, p. 480.)”
