Elder W. Woodruff showed that the testimo-
nies borne by the elders who come to the stand
to-day are the same as those that were borne
by the elders thirty years ago. He treated on
the subject of men being inspired from Heaven
for the accomplishment of certain purposes, as Columbus to seek this continent; Washington
and others to struggle for freedom, right and
liberty; and the signers of the Declaration of
Independence in the work they did. The elders
of this Church are inspired to do good and
spread the truths of Heaven; and their minis-
trations have been extended to every land
where they have been permitted to carry the
gospel, furthering the great designs of the Lord
that are to be accomplished in this age.
