PRESIDENT WOODRUFF.
was well pleased to again mingle
with the Cache Valley Saints in
conference assembled. Had been
much edified by the remarks made
in the morning; the subjects treated
were of much importance to the
Saints.
Referred to the wickedness of all
kinds that is filling all the world.
The evil one is doing everything in
power to engulf the children of
men. The voice of the servants of
God has been sounded in these
days to all the world where the
conditions and laws would permit.
In all dispensations of the gospel
the devil has tried to overcome the
servants of God. We should all
labor and guard against the at-
tacks and temptations which the
adversary made upon us, and by
resisting them we would gain
strength over the evil one. Re-
ferred to the early days of the
church and the opposition the
prophet Joseph and his associates
received from the people in their
day. Spoke of the judgments of
God which should come upon the
children of men in consequence of
their refusal to accept the gospel of
Christ. Spoke of the visit of the
First Presidency to Chicago and
Jackson county with the Tabern-
acle choir, and gave an account of
the kind receptions they met with
on that trip, which showed that a
change had come over the nation.
Exhorted the Saints to faithful-
ness in keeping the commandments
of God.
