"If I were the emperor of the world, and I had control of all the human family, I would sustain every man, woman and child on the face of the whole earth, in the enjoyment of their religion, let that religion be what it may."
~ Joseph Smith
I have seen the sick healed. I have seen devils cast out. The blind have seen, the deaf have heard; and all the gifts and graces have been with us. While I was in Herefordshire I helped carry a sister into the water who had not walked for twelve or fifteen years, and we baptized her. When we con- firmed her she said she believed she had faith sufficient to be healed. Presi- dent Young and Dr. Richards called up- on me and I told them of this case.

Some time ago I met a man and a wo- man against the Valley House here. The woman said to me, "Do you know me?" I said, "No, I don't." "Do you know this man?" "No, I don't." "Well," said she, "he was born dumb, and when he and I were baptized in Here- fordshire, you laid hands on him and his speech was given to him, and he has been able to talk from that day to this." I do not speak of these things boastingly. We have no chance for boasting, because any man who has these gifts knows they are of God, and not of man. I never saw a minute in my life when I felt I had occasion to boast of any gift or blessing that God gave to me. Whatever power I have received, whatever I have been able to do, has been by the gift of God.
~ Wilford Woodruff

I pray God my Heavenly Father that we may always live in that way and manner that when we arrive on the other side of the veil we shall receive all those gifts and blessings that belong to the Saints of God who have been true and faithful in any age of the world.
~ Wilford Woodruff
