(I read the following in the Arizona Miner) "Apostle Wilford Woodruff of the Latter Day Saints. recently unbosomed himself to the Mormon Church as follows." "I will never abandon my wives & children at the Demand of a Nation steeped in sin and ripe for the Damnation of Hell. I read this paragraph and went on reading the life of Christ as composed and Tranquil as before I am in the hands of God & so is the United States Government" I glory in the Epistle & Testimony which I have bourn to our Nation and all the wor[l]ds from which that Extract was made and God will back up my testimony and the testimony of all the righteous though the heaven and Earth Pass away The Testimony of inspiration will not Pass away but will all be fulfilled as the Lord liveth
