In the midst of these activities he (Wilford Woodruff, my comment) preached without let or hindrance the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. He loved to speak of Joseph Smith and bore powerful testimony of his prophetic power. He admonished the Saints to remember that in the Church of Christ revelation is continuous, the very essence of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The authority of the priesthood was to him the rock upon which the Church rests. He explained the mission of the Saints to prepare for the second coming of the Lord. He reminded the Saints that they must not hesitate to carry the gospel to all the people of the earth, at any cost or sacrifice. Often he looked, as it were, through the veil, and eloquently urged upon the people temple work for the dead as well as for the living.
