Discourse 1890-10-27

Prest Woodruff, occupied all the speaking time of the meeting. his remarks embraced the law of tithing the last instructions of the Prophet Joseph to the Twelve, the missions he assigned them, the keys of this dispensa- tion, the power of the Melchisadek Priesthood. his clos- ing words were, I have been peculiary interested in Bro. Clawson he was present at the death of Bro. Standing. he expected to die also. he could not reasonably expect anything else he is a martyr. I am interested in you all. Joseph holds the keys of this dispensation and ever will. I want to be with him in the spirit world. I never found my father's house untill I found the Latter day saints. I pray that we may be all true and faithful to the end. God bless you all for Jesus's sake, amen.
