Discourse 1890-10-26
Prest Woodruff remarked on the impending judgements of God and said the warning voice has been heard by the nations severally, exhorted the saints to get the spirit of God, for it is the greatest of evidence. I never have told any on[e] to ask God for a sign of the truth of this work. let us believe the word of God and live our religion. Get his spirit for we all need it and cannot do without it.
Discourse 1890-10-26
Prest Woodruff, expressed his gladness to meet with the saints of this stake. gave a graphic account of the entrance of the pioneers into these vallies and early incidents connected therewith, related in- teresting portions of his early history and desire to know the truth, his long service of 57 years in the church, the provisions and blessings offered by the Gosple to the living and the dead, the manner the saints have been treated by the world in all ages, and the conwicked condition of the present generation. if there ever was a more wicked generation than the present one I have never read of it. I marvel at the change that has taken place in this na- tion. Jesus was not popular with man, but despised, called Belzebub, crpersecuted and finaly crucified, his apos- tles were put to death. John was miraculously preserved. Joseph & his Bro Hryum were put to death in this nation and John Taylor his with four bullets at the (death) martyr- dom of Joseph & Hyrum. persecution was waged against the people of God in every dispensation, exhorted the saints to faithfulness and prayed God to bless them.
