PREFACE.

Satan, knowing the power for good that Brother Woodruff
would be, if permitted to live, has often sought to effect his
destruction.

The adventures, accidents and hair-breath escapes that he
has met with, are scarcely equalled by the record that the for-
mer apostle, Paul, has left us of his life.

The power of God has been manifested in a most remarkable
manner in preserving Brother Woodruf's life. Considering
the number of bones he has had broken, and the other bodily
injuries he has received, it is certainly wonderful that now, at
the age of seventy-five years, he is such a sound, well-pre-
served man. God grant that his health and usefulness may
continue for many years to come.

Of course, this volume contains but a small portion of the
interesting experience of Brother Woodruff's life, but very
many profitable lessons may be learned from it, and we trust
at some future time to be favored with other sketches from
his pen.

PREFACE.

Satan, knowing the power for good that Brother Woodruff would be, if permitted to live, has often sought to effect his destruction.

The adventures, accidents and hair-breath escapes that he has met with, are scarcely equalled by the record that the former apostle, Paul, has left us of his life.

The power of God has been manifested in a most remarkable manner in preserving Brother Woodruf's life. Considering the number of bones he has had broken, and the other bodily injuries he has received, it is certainly wonderful that now, at the age of seventy-five years, he is such a sound, well-preserved man. God grant that his health and usefulness may continue for many years to come.

Of course, this volume contains but a small portion of the interesting experience of Brother Woodruff's life, but very many profitable lessons may be learned from it, and we trust at some future time to be favored with other sketches from his pen.
