Discourse 1898-05-03

Tuesday, . The First Presidency at their office this morning were waited upon by Brothers Willard Call and Jos. Hol- brook, of Bountiful, who came to ascertain the views of the Presidency in relation to the enlisting of men for the war with Spain. After disciussung the matter, Prres. Woodruff said his mind was very clear that we must stand by the government and do our share in fighting its battles. Brothers Call and Holbrook expressed their willingness to respond to the call of the Govenrnor, if they could have the blessing and sanction of Pres. Woodruff. Pres. G. Q. Cannon said that whenever our brethren responded to the call and went oto the front, relying upon the spirit of the Lord, they would be blessed in so doing; but he did not think it wise for the First Presidency to take the responsibility of saying that the brethren should go. They should act on their own volition. Pres. Woodruff endorsed this, and promised those who ienlisted that they should receive a blessing before their departure.

Salt Lake City, Utah,. President Wilford Woodruff, Salt Lake City, Utah. Dr Bro: I will be ready to go on my mission at the time you have appointed the 13th day of October 1898. if I am alive and well, which ^blessings^ I hope I will enjoy. I am now here in Salt Lake City and as your letter was directed to Willard, it was delayed in reaching me. Hoping this answer will be satisfactory, and that between now and the appointed time, I may be able by the help of God to inform myself so that I will be a credit to my-self and this Latter Day Work. From your brother in the Gospel, Joseph A. Harding.
