Discourse 1881-11-27
Prest Woodruff spoke beautifully on the redemption of our Dead, he referred to records kept by our New England people, showing that the Lord was inspiring many to write up history and search out genealogy that would greatly benefit the work of the Lord in these last days, those who were doing these things know not by what spirit they were being actuated but it would all [Be'd owed] to the glory of God and the forwarding of His great work.
