27th ^1860^ and I will now tell you all and you may right it down that all my preaching by the Holy Ghost it is revelation. I told the Brother Joseph that he had given us revelation enough to last us 20 years when that time is out I can give as good revelation as their is in the Doctrins & Covenants.

AN EPISTLE. Apostle Woodruff's Cheering Coun- sels to the Saints.

Elder W. Woodruff said, this being a school of ^the^ prophets, should be profitable to those who come here, the spirit of God that each Elder possesses is the spirit of prophesy--we have had the living oracles in our midst for 40 years on the 6th April next--And as a people we have got to prepare a place for the coming of the Son of Man-- the United States had been warned ^lately^ by several hundred missionaries, perhaps for the last time, and their testimonies will stand good before God, Angels and ...
