I had the privelege of going up to the house of the Lord in Kirtland to worship with my Beloved Brethren I kno not ownly had the privilege of hereing the word of God in company with about 1,000 Saints from the sacred desk but also of declaring the word of God unto them. my happiness hath been great to behold the work of God in these last days & Allthough the gentiles rages & the priest imagin vain things yet the work of God will roll on in spite of all these things untill babylon shall fall Israel be gathered & Christ reign
~ Wilford Woodruff
I have found one thing to be true that when we seek first the Kingdom of God all things els mecessary will be added. I should consider it one of the greatest blessings on earth to have you & the rest of my Kinsman become members of the Church of Latter day Saints & why I desire it is because I know it to be the true Church of Christ & my friends would be exhalted before God & receieve blessings that fadeth not away
~ Wilford Woodruff
the things of time are transitory the things of the Celestial Kingdom [a]re eternal & worth possessing
~ Wilford Woodruff
