Discourse 1889-09-15
Pres Woodruff said he was very thankful that his
life had been spared to attend the Dedication of another
house for the worship of God.
Father Adam before his death called together his
sons and their posterity and gave them a Patriarchal
blessing reaching down to the end of time.
When we behold the many Temples and Tabernacles
which have been erected for the worship of God in
the Latterdays it must be pleasing to Adam.
These things are pleasing to all the Prophets who have
prophecied concerning the day in which we live.
He was satisfied the Lord was pleased with it.
Inasmuch as we keep the commandments of God
His presence will be with us and His power attend
us. This is the greatest of all dispensations the Lord
has given to man. We of all people have the
greatest cause to rejoice to think that we live in this
day. We will inherit the Glory, the Laws of which we
keep. Good and evil is set before us as with those of
our progenitors, and our free agency is given us that
we may choose whom we will serve. We are all
tempted and will be to the end of time. It will
pay us to keep the commandments of God. Trusted
that we will be of one heart and mind while we
are together.
