Pres. W. Woodruff: Spoke of the dealing of God in the history of the world. Had noticed that whenever nations departed from the paths of vuirtuue and righteousness, they were cast down. Whenever men served God he upheld and and sustained them. But of all the changes that have taken place from Father Adam one thing has never changed—and that is the Gos- pel of Jesus Christ. Referred to the mechanical improvements of the latter times, all tending to the gathering of Isreal in these days. Spoke of ancient prophecy and its litteral fulfillment. Spoke of the stupendous work of the Saints in the few years they have been in the Valleys of Ephraim. Spoke of the swift judgments that would come upon those who have persecuted the Saints. We have not got through with the warning of the nations. I am getting more en- larged in my feelings regarding the people of the nations; we are baptizing a hundred a month in the Southern States. The Lord will fight our battles if we will keep his commandments and build his temples. The young men will have to bear off this Kingdom. Made a powerful exhort- tation to the Saints to be faithful.
