Meeting Prayer By W Woodruff President Young spoke 7 m[inutes]
G A Smith spoke 50, A M Musser 30 Minutes
& W Woodruff spoke 30 15 Minutes The Following is
a synopsis of my sayings

When I was a youth I Felt that I would have gone
hundreds of Miles to have seen a Prophet of God or
An Apostle or an Elder or any man who was called of God

and inspired of God to Preach the gospel of Christ & could
tell me the true way to be saved now as we travel through the coun-
try we meet thousands of children as well as men & women who
can see Prophets Apostles & Elders by merly walking a few rods
into the streets to greet President Young, the Twelve & others as
we travel through the country it is a good thing for these chil-
dren to come out in procession to Greet the President as he com-
es along through through the country for it will make a good
impression upon there minds one that they will never forget
when these Boys & girls meet together thirty years hence
in 1898 & convers together upon the scenes of this visit
what will be their conversation it will be sumthing like
the following O what a great change has taken place
singce the Prophet Brigham Young & the Apostles visited us in
Logan in 1868. Then it was a New Country with but
few inhabitants not more than ten thousand People in all Cash
Valley, then we had No Tabernacle or Temple in this valley
now we have a great Tabernacle & a great Temple built
on the high Bench of Logan & we can be drawn on the top
of its Towers by machinery whare we can view the glory
of this valley filled with cities & magnificet Palaces &
Towers occupied by one Million of the Saints of God who
can come up to the Temple on Logan Bench & get their
Endowm[en]ts & Blessings in their turn. Then our fields
of grain & gardens were half sunflowers & weed since
then by the commandm[en]t of God no man occupies more
land then he can keep clean of weeds & beautify, then
we had no shade trees in our streets, now our streets
ar adorned with the mulbury tree from which we make
our silk which now adorns our Bodies & the Bodies of our
children, then the Apostle E. T. Benson & Bishop Maughn
Presided over us, since then they have gone with
President Young to& others to Jackson Co Mo to Build the
great Temple & the New Jerrusalem This visit was in
1868 then we were children now it is 1898 & great
changes have taken place since that day throughout

Great Babylon as well as in Mount Zion that year was
the great Election for the Presidency of the United States
Grant & Colfax were the candidates for the Black Repullin
& Seymour & Blair for the Dimocratts, then the Nation
felt strong & Powerful since then it has been broken to peces
That visit was before the destruction of the city of New
York By the sea Heaving itself beyong its bounds & washing
the inhabitants into the sea & they were drowned. It was
Before Albany was utterly Destroyed by fire. It was before
Boston was sunk with an Earthquake. It was before
Chicago was struck with lightning & burned with fire &
Brimstone for their Abominations. It was before the many
Millions of the UniPeople of the United States & other Nations
of the Earth were destroyed Bywith their cities By the
Great Judgments of God Because of their great sins &
wickedness in the sight of Heaven & Earth, this was Before the
United States became so weakened & Broaken to peaces that
they called upon Brigham Young to take the Presidency of
the United States to save the Constitution & the remnant of
the Nation from utter destruction. If this will not be
the conversation of those little children 30 yo who were
in the procession with their Banners to welcome the prophet
& Apostles on their Enterance into this City, thirty years
from this it will be sumthing like it.
