Statement of Miss ^Mary^ Alice Woodruff made on Sunday evening, August 22nd, 1897. About seven o'clock this evening, whilst I was lying on my bed, my father and mother and members of thefamily were out on the porch, Bro. Wm. McEwan was sitting near the bed. Bro. Louis Cannon, Edward Jenkins, Libbie Cutler, Joseph and Blanch Daynes called in to see me, they only stayed a few minutes, saying they were willing to help me all they could, but as all arrangements were made for my comfort, they said they would pray for me. As they left, I felt very sad with a feeling that I would never see them again, so I commenced to cry bitterly. William endeavored to comfort me with encouraging words. As he was talking I beheld a brilliant light, which frightened me. I held on to William and called "father, father." I then saw a most glorious personage standing near the foot of the bed, his feet were off the floor. On my calling for father, Will went out passing by this personage, almost touching his clothing, and father and the family came in. I motioned them all to go out but father as I thought he might also see this per- sonage as I did. Is at up in my bed, quite awake, he stretched out his arms over my head and said in a distinct but under tone of voice, "The Lord has sent me to bless you, you shall be healed from this time forth. The Lord seals his blessings upon you." He then came to the side of the bed and said I must go to the Temple and there I should receive something (I have forgotten what it was I should receive) and further said the prayers of the circles in the heavens have been head in your behalf, and the prayers of the circles here upon the earth, also the prayers of the saints have been heard; that I should stay here and be blessed in my life; that I should have joy and pleasure in my union, be blessed as a mother, having posterity. Said you are a daughter of Israel and shall stand as a representative (f) in your father's kingdom. The Lord will give you health and strength and bless you so that you may love him and
~ Alice Woodruff
While here you and all of us are surrounded by temptations, because we are where devils dwell. they are all around us and have the power to tempt us, and here is the place where they work. But there is no man or woman who has been true and faithful here until death that will ever be disturbed or annoyed by them after death for the reason that when the faithful Saints receive their resurrected bodies, they will occupy a place in the Celestial Kingdom, and there is where the devils do not dwell; and therefore when you get there, there will be no one to tempt or lead astray, and for that reason, if you are true and faithful here, you will be true and faithful there throughout all eternity.
~ Wilford Woodruff
