Discourse 1893-04-05

PRESIDENT WILFORD WOODRUFF Said: I have a request I wish to make to this assembly of Latter-day Saints, as all may not be here this afternoon, who are here now. There are many of you from a distance as well as many who dwell here in the city. You are expecting to go into the Temple to at- tend its dedication. I have a desire in my heart that every one of you, the night before you go into the Temple, before retiring to rest, will go by yourselves, in secret prayer. Offer up your prayers to the Lord, and pray that your sins may not only be forgiven, but that you may all have the Spirit of God and the testi- mony of the Lord Jesus Christ; that the Spirit of God may be with those who who assemble in that Temple. The inhabitants of the earth do not realize the effect and benefit of prayer. The Lord hears and answers the pray ers of men, women and children. Prayer has more power, a great deal, to bring down the blessings of God, than almost any other thing. I have the desire for the Saints to do this, for I wish to see those who go into the Temple go in with pure hearts, and that the Spirit of God may be with them, that they may enjoy themselves, that they may all feel the influence of that power while at the dedication of the Temple. I pray God to give you all an an- swer to your prayers, and to give you the Holy Spirit to assist you while at the dedication and services of the dedi- cation. Amen.

Discourse 1893-04-05

PRESIDENT WILFORD WOODRUFF Said he realized that there were a great many persons in this city wait- ing to go into the Temple in the day and time appointed unto them, and it was therefore deemed inadvisable to continue the present Conference in this building in view of the dedication services. The Lord had been very merciful unto this people, and he felt thoroughly satis- fied that His blessing would be poured out in abundance upon all those upon theresponded to the call made upon them for assistance in finishing the Temple He rejoiced in the blessings which the Saints had enjoyed upon the present oc- casion in listening to the

Letter from Alfred Solomon, 5 April 1893

[end sideways text] LATTER-DAY SAINT'S EUROPEAN PRINTING, PUBLISHING, AND EMIGRATION OFFICE. 42, Islington, Liverpool, President Woodruff and Council Salt Lake City Dear Brethren I thought I would pen a few lines, to let you know what we have been doing, in regard to our Emigration matters. I wrote a few weeks ago, asking instructions if any on Emigration, but have as yet received no word. The Guion Company, having started their Boats, and wishing us to help them as much as possible. I thought it best to encourage what applications were made to us of persons wanting to Emigrate as I dont think the chances for this purpose, in the future, will be any better than they are at the present. ^In^ Tthe Company to sail on April the 8th, We expect to be about 117 souls, 56 English, 36 Swiss and German, 2 from the Scandinavian Mission, and 23 returning Missionaries, 12 from Great Britain, and 11 from the missions on the Continent, there are several applications being made, for Berths on the Alaska to sail April 22nd I expect the number of returning Missionaries will appear to You quite numerous, the number is larger than I expected, but after Releasing some of the Brethren, others who thought their time about expired, owing to the Dedication, and Spring time, became a little impatient. One Brother remarking in this wise. That surely we did not understand the condition and circumstances the Brethren were placed in, as He would rather stay if required, three of any other Months of the Year than one now, this added
