of the Twelve Apostles, now as an apostle, and as your father, I have a right
to council you and give you advice.
There is one particular thing I want to impress upon your minds, and that
is study the revelations of God and have faith in them, the Bible, , and Doctrine and Covenants, and I want you all to begin in your youth
to make your wants known to the Lord in prayer, ask him for what you want,
not as a ceremony, but in faith, and he will hear you and answer your prayers.
Now my children, harken to these sayings and put them into practice.
The revelations of God are true and will be fulfilled. I want you all to
be saved and to be with me on the morning of the First Resurrection to dwell
with me forever with God and the Lamb.
This is the Prayer of your loving father.
Wilford Woodruff
