Letter to the Members in Turkey, 7 September 1897
Salt Lake City, Utah, . Beloved Brethren and Sisters in Turkey: We have lately received a number of letters from various brethren addressed to Bro. Lefvon S. Abraham. In these letters a number of questions are sprung concerning your condition and also asking about a future opportunity of gathering to some place in your own land. First, we learn that the different branches of the Church in Turkey need a fuller organization, this has been ordered to be corrected through the office in Liverpool and Elder Armenag S. Hagobian. President Hago- bian should make a wvisit to the different branches of the church and ordain a few worthy brethren to the office of elders and some to the lower priesthood so that there may be workers in each branch to supply the necessary spiritual food and to preach the Gospel with authority to those not acqiuainted with our doctrines. There are also some difficul- ties that should be straightened out so that all might work as one in Jesus Christ our Lord. It is probable that before long some elders will be sent there again to labor, and we hope you will receive them as the servants of the living God sent to you to minister in the ordinances of life and salvation for your good and for the good of the nations in that far off part of the world. For the Gospel of Christ must be preached in all places according to the will of the Father before the end will come. Dear Brethren and Sisters, you are inclined to be impatient, as though you alone had troubles to endure. This you should not be. The saints have troubles in
