I spent the forenoon in the Legislature & Afternoon I attended
the school of the Prophets Speeches were made By Brigham Young,
H. C. Kimball, Orson Hyde, John Taylor, ^&^ Wilford Woodruff
W Woodruff I feel thankful for the privilege of speaking a
few words to this school. I wish to refer to the first doctrin preached
that Adam was our Father & God in the Revelation called the
ollive leaf it says that "the Devil gathered together the Hosts
of Hell And Michael the Arkangel gathered together the Hosts of
Heaven and he overcame the devil & his Angels & this is the
Battle of the Godreat God" who is this Michael the Ark Angel
it is Adam who was Michael in the creation of the World.
Again in regard to the redemption of the dead I believe it will
take all the ordinances of the gospel of Christ to save soul as
much as another. Jesus himself obeyed all the ordinances
of the Gospel that he might fulfill all righteousness. Therefore
those who have died without the gospel will have to receive the
gospel in the spirit world from those who preach to the
spirit in Prision, & those who dwell in the flesh will have to
attend to all the ordinances of the gospel for & in their behalf
by Proxy & it will take 1000 years with Jesus Christ at the head
of all the Prophets & Apostles before the work will be finished in
attending to all the ordinances for all the dead who have died
without the gospel. Again con[cer]ning Revelation I Believe
it to be the privilege of Evry Apostle & Elder who bears any
portion of the Holy Priesthood to have the Holy Ghost &
Revelation to guide them in all things. But I do not Believe
that the Lord will Reveal to any man a New Principle, doctrin
or Law, to govern the Chu[r]ch & kingdom of God on the Earth
Except through the Mouth of the Prophet, Seer, Revelator
President & Law given unto the Church, this is his place
& position to receive the word of the Lord & give it unto the
people. There are some keys
which the Prophet Joseph
held which No other man held while he lived. & there are some
which President Brigham Young holds which No other Man holds
the keys of the sealing power for instance But he permits other
Apostles to administer in this ordinance
