"The Relief Society was organized not only to feed the hungry, and clothe the naked, minister to the dying and robe the dead for their last resting place-it was also organized by the Prophet Joseph Smith, as he distinctly explained, to watch over the souls of women and girls when natural weakness of character rendered such guardianship necessary. And so the years sped on, and the non-"Mormon" element increased in the midst of the people, while the increasing emigration of poor Saints from the old countries made it imperative for President Brigham Young to consider the re-habilitation of the Relief Society in a great general movement." [From the text]
