Elder W. Woodruff spoke of the
variety of subjects that had been treated
upon during the meetings, and reason-
ed that the Lord had chosen the best
elements he could find of which to
build his kingdom, and had sent forth
the best spirits to lead its progress. He
alluded to the work that had been done
by the Prophet Joseph, by President Young and others, and expressed him-
self that the Saints in "Dixie" had
done well, the blessing of God having
been with them, and exhorted them to
be the friends of God.
