On Sunday the 7 of May ^April 30^ when I lay at the point of Death and was breathing my Last No one thought I would Live. Thousands of the Saints were Praying for me and there Prayers were heard & Answered and the Lord saved my life for a little Longer
~ Wilford Woodruff
One vary stricking incident was worthy of record. I went through Jackson County with Harry Brown in 1834 on a Mission to the Southern states at that time we had to keep secreted so the people would not know that we were in the county as our lives would be sacrafized if they knew that two Mormon Mission- aries were in the County. Now the Mayor of the city of Independance comes & greets us with the warmest reception. How Great the contrast we give God the praise
~ Wilford Woodruff

Glory to God in the Highest for He fulfills his word to the Sons of Men. What we have been looking for so Long came to Pass this day. The House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States P^assed^ a Bill for the Admission of Utah into the Union with Equal Powers of the other states with ownly five 5 opposing votes. I think it is an Event unheard of in the whole History of the American Government we trust it will soon Pass the Senate, and be signed by the President & soon become a Law
~ Wilford Woodruff
The greatest Event of 1893 was the Dedication of the Great Salt Lake Temple Wilford Woodruff Dedicated it first And attended the first 21 Meetings & through sickness was absent on the 15 & 16. The Power of God was Manifest in the dedication of this Temple & many things Revealed by the power of God to the Presidency of the Church Near 50 years ago while in the City of Boston I had a vision of going with the Saints to the Rocky Mountains Building a Temple And I dedicated iy two nights in succession before John Taylors Death president Young gave me the Kees of the Temple & told me to go and Dedicate it which I did
~ Wilford Woodruff
June 24, 1894 Sunday Night [FIGURES] At the close of the 20 speeches made President Wilford Woodruff arose and delivered the following Address. Brethren & Sisters As President of the Church I have many Duties to Perform As have these my councillers & the Apostles And I feel impressed to make a Declaration unto you at this time It is reppresented to us that there is about fourteen hundred Millions of Human beings upon the Earth at the Present time And while I am strongly impressed with the Principles of the Eternal truths of the Dealings of the Dealings of God with the inhabitants of the Earth in the Day and generation in which we live I wish to Ask this Assembly a question. What Protection have this vast body of Human being to Enable them to Escape those tremendious Judg- ments which GOD has proclaimed shall come to Pass and be poured out upon the wicked in the last days before the coming of the Son of Man? These Judgments are Recorded in the Bible the Revelations of St John, The Book of Mormon & Doctrins & Covenants. The men who made these Declarations were Prophets, Apostles, & inspird Men and spoke as they were moved upon by the Holy Ghost And their word^s^ were true. I again ask what Promise or Protection have those vast Millions to Escape those tremendious Judgements which have now commenced to visit the Earth. I will answer
