Discourse 1884-10-05
Priesthood Meeting—A meeting of the Priesthood was held in the Taber- nacle last evening, commencing at 7 o'clock, and a large congregation as- sembled. The speakers were Presi- dent John Taylor and President Wil- ford Woodruff. The former delivered an elaborate and interesting discourse upon the Priesthood, both Aaronic and Melchisedec, the Gospel and the Mediation, the designs of God in the creation of the earth, the fall of Adam and the ultimate redemption of the world and its inhabitants. President Woodruff, in the course of his remarks referred to a circumstance that took place at Kirtland fifty years ago last April, on the oc- casion of his first seeing and hearing the Prophet Joseph Smith. The latter at a Priesthood meeting called to as- semble in a little log house, after a number of Elders had testified, arose and prophesied that this work would yet fill the earth, and that the Latter- day Saints would fill the Rocky Moun- tains, and with the Lamanites would build up the Zion of God. The speaker said he little thought then that he would see the Rocky Mountains, much less live to witness the fulfillment of Joseph's prophecy. He also testified to the utter fulfillment of the Prophet's words in the triumph of truth and the overthrow of Babylon.
