Transcription

W[ilford] Woodruff[:] I feel thankful for the privilege of speaking a few words to this school. I wish to refer to the first doctrin preach[e] that Adam was our Father & God. In the Revelation called the ollive leaf it says that the Devil gathered together the Hosts of Hell And Michael the Ark angel gathered to gether the Hosts of Heaven and he overcame the devil & his Angels & this is the Battle of the Great God." Who is this Michael the Ark Angel[?] It is Adam who was Michael in the Creation of the World.
