He Said It

Wilford Woodruff

Wilford Woodruff said what about the ministers of his day?

a.      They would see the world sink to perdition rather than walk through mud like he had

b.      They couldn’t elaborate correctly on one verse in the Bible if their lives depended on it

c.       The Sunbeams knew more of the gospel than they did

d.      Over paid, over fed, and dumb as a door nail

Yesterday’s answer:

(C)   Wilford became lame and couldn’t keep up

On the 24^th of March, after traveling some ten miles through mud, I was taken lame with a sharp pain in my knee. I sat down on a log.

   My companion, who was anxious to get to his home in Kirtland, left me sitting in an alligator swamp. I did not see him again for two years. I knelt down in the mud and prayed, and the Lord healed me, and I went on my way rejoicing.
