L know" he said in conclusion,
thar this day q prophecy has been
fulfilled, made by Apostle John ".
Taylor many years ago"
Elder Woodruff expressed himself in
a similar strain. He said he felt keenIy
his weakness in accepting so high d
position. He knew his mission was not
TO be a ruler. but a servant of the peo-
pie Speaking of prophecies, he con-
tinued, Il can say that one has been
filed in my case. My father intimated
as much to me three years ago, when
I was on mission. He also told me
that that was the mind and viii Of
God"
Elder Woodruff said he believed the
gospel was true and thai Joseph Smith
was q prophet. he had been in posi-
tons which tested the truth Of this.
He believed that he had been chosen
because he had the greatest occasion
10 any man in the church to be humb BILE
he wished 10 gain the power 80 over
come his weakness and said that ne
wished 20 covenant at that time with
God that he would spend the rest OF
his life in procl2iming his word
President Woodruff concluded the
services with a few remarks. in which
he related some early miraculous eX-
periences and told how apostles were
chosen in early days. The Saints, he
said. had made great progress and
would continue to do so if they ob-
served the word Of God If they did
not co this they would be held respOn-
sible and would show his displeasure.

Georges candidacy for the mayoralty
OF Greater New York" says:
TT is humiIiating to think that there
is any possibility of his being the first
mayor of the enlarged New York No
doubt in past times there have been
worse candidates. Mr.. George is hon
est, but he is the nominee of the silver
ties: and, what is worse, he can only
be returned by his winning the sup
port of dangerous classes, who will
afterward demand their prices for their

is a scholar, capable man of bust

indirect gain to good government every
