Letter from George Teasdale, 10 November 1890
Dear President Woodruff:
I wrote you last from Deming
Oct 21st, posted it about the time we left there about 3:30
in the afternoon Bp. W. D. Johnson, with his buggy and his first
counsellor Morten P. Mortensen with his wagon, carried us
and our boxes & baggage. We were out two nights and two
days and a half. The weather was delightful, sunshine
in the day time and moonlight at night. We made long
drives to accomplish the journey in so short a time.
We arrived here on Thursday night 23rd of Oct[ober]". The Bis-
hop had made arrangements with Sister Almira Hen-
dricks to take care of us for a few days until a place
could be prepared for us and we stayed there ten days
and then moved into a partly furnished house belonging
to B. S. Richardson who is away visiting relatives and
friends in the North. On Friday 24th we were invited to
attend a Social gathering at the Meeting House. The Bishop
called for us in the evening and we accompanied him
to the Meeting House. The building was elegantly decorated
and illuminated with many lamps. Pictures and
portraits of the authorities were hung around the room
and festoons of greenboughs and flowers. Over the Stand
in block letters was the Word Welcome in large letters of tin
with natural flowers sewn on and at the back of the
stand hung a large Mexican flag and heavy festoons
of flowers and greenboughs interspersed with portraits of the

GENERAL CONFERENCE.
-[CONTINUED FROM PAGE 694.]-
AFTERNOON SESSION.
2 p.m.
Singing by the choir.
Prayer by Bishop Orson F. Whit-
ney.
The choir sang.
The Sacrament of the Lord's Sup-
per was administered, the priest-
hood of the Twentieth Ward offi-
ciating.
President Wilford Woodruff ad-
dressed the Conference. Following
is a synopsis of his remarks: I
know not how long I may be able
to talk, but while I do I want the
attention of the congregation. The
Saints have often heard me testify
concerning the power by which this
Church has been established. I
have no power, nor have these apos-
tles, to preach the Gospel and build
up the kingdom of God, except by
the inspiration of the Holy Ghost.
Whatever testimony we bear to be
productive of good, must be by the
Spirit of God. We live in the great-
est of all dispensations, and there
are many things which the Lord
has withheld from the foundation
of the world, and which have never
before been revealed to man, which
will be revealed to the Saints of
this dispensation.
Every dispensation of the Gospel
has had its work, and at no time has
God ever set His hand to do a work
among men, without having an ele-
ment prepared to work with. This
is true of this dispensation. God
has raised up a prophet in this age,
and to him sent messengers who
had once lived in the flesh. The
Lord raised up Joseph who was sold
into Egypt, and who did the work
appointed to him. So the Lord
raised up Joseph Smith, at the time
set for him to appear and perform
His work, and to him He revealed
the same Gospel which was revealed
to Abraham and Moses and to the
prophets. It is the only Gospel
God ever revealed to man. In ful-
fillment of the revelations of St.
John, and other Scriptures, this
Gospel was revealed to Joseph
Smith. It cost him his life to pro-
