    DISCOURSE BY ELDER WILFORD WOODRUFF, At the General Conference, Sunday Morning, April 3, 1881. REPORTED BY GEORGE F. GIBBS. I THINK that all of us as Latter-day Saints should have our hearts filled with gratitude and thanksgiving to God our Heavenly Father for his mercies and blessi[n]gs which we en- joy this day. It is certainly a source of much pleasure to me to have the privilege of meeting with so many of the Latter-day Saints, and with so many bearing the Holy Priest- hood in this dispensation of ...

That is why this Tabernacle stands here today, in ful- fillment of the predictions of the pro- phets of God in ancient days. It is why the Zion of God is planted here in these valleys of the mountains. It has all been by the power of God, and not of man. I hope we may contemplate our posi- tion, and ...

    those of Jonah to the city of Nineveh, or those of Isaiah to Israel, or to Tyre and Sidon and other ancient cities and peoples, have fallen unfulfilled? No, there is no man can point to a single prophecy of the servants of God that has failed in its fulfilment. Does not the Christian world know that the Bible is full of revelation pointing to this day and age of the world? Let them read the ...

Their wisdom would be turned into folly. Why? Because they are not called to lead. If a man has never learned a letter of a book, if the Lord calls upon him to lead the church and kingdom of God, he will give him power to do it. We have had these lessons laid before us day after day, calling upon us to be united ...

    DISCOURSE By Elder Wilford Woodruff. Tabernacle, Sun- day Afternoon Jan. 10, 1858 ---------- [REPORTED BY J. V.

You let a Christian come here, no matter who, whether he be a minister, professor, or believer, or any one who professes to believe in the Bible, and let him ask an Elder in Israel—"Do you really believe, in your soul, sincerely before the Lord, that Mormonism is true?"

It is not necessary for me to spend time in tracing this Priesthood through the six thousand years that have past and gone; but it has been manifest in every age and dispensation when God has had prophets and apostles on the earth.
