The Millennial Star mentions that the practice of getting the people to be one has been a burden of teachings for years, and as part of the fruits of this unity, they note that in the Territory of Utah, life is sacred and the people are remarkable in their concerted action, which includes the healing of the sick among the Saints.
In Their Own Words
“The principle of unity is very popular among the Latter-day Saints. One of the most prominent ideas with their leaders is that of getting the people to be one. It has been the burden of their teachings for years, and will probably continue to be so for years to come, or at any rate until their object is attained, and the whole people live and act on every subject as a unit. ... The result is, that in no country known on the face of the earth is law so respected, good order so general, and life and property so sacred, as here in the Territory of Utah. — Millennial Star 30:16”
