President Wilford Woodruff ad-
dressed the Conference. Following
is a synopsis of his remarks: I
know not how long I may be able
to talk, but while I do I want the
attention of the congregation. The
Saints have often heard me testify
concerning the power by which this
Church has been established. I
have no power, nor have these apos-
tles, to preach the Gospel and build
up the kingdom of God, except by
the inspiration of the Holy Ghost.
Whatever testimony we bear to be
productive of good, must be by the
Spirit of God. We live in the great-
est of all dispensations, and there
are many things which the Lord
has withheld from the foundation
of the world, and which have never
before been revealed to man, which
will be revealed to the Saints of
this dispensation.

Every dispensation of the Gospel
has had its work, and at no time has
God ever set His hand to do a work
among men, without having an ele-
ment prepared to work with. This
is true of this dispensation. God
has raised up a prophet in this age,
and to him sent messengers who
had once lived in the flesh. The
Lord raised up Joseph who was sold
into Egypt, and who did the work
appointed to him. So the Lord
raised up Joseph Smith, at the time
set for him to appear and perform
His work, and to him He revealed
the same Gospel which was revealed
to Abraham and Moses and to the
prophets. It is the only Gospel
God ever revealed to man. In ful-
fillment of the revelations of St.
John, and other Scriptures, this
Gospel was revealed to Joseph
Smith. It cost him his life to pro-
