A quote from him is, "We are willing to stand by the revelation of God."
Then a testimony of his is, "I am thankful before the Lord for the blessings that I have enjoyed in this conference and for the testimonies I have heard from these Apostles. They speak as men having authority inspired by the spirit of God, and they speak the truth. Many of our friends that have labored with us have passed away. We ourselves shall pas away in our time. I may say that if it had bot been for the prayers of these thousands of Latter-Day-Saints, I today should have been mingling with my brethren in the Spirit World. I know that I have been preserved by the prayers of my brethren and sisters, and I am still with you. I feel very weak, and hardly qualified to magnify my calling as an apostle, as the leader of the people of Israel, in fact, no man is, only as moved upon by the power of God. what little time I may stay here I hope my heart will not be set on the riches of this world, but on doing the will of God and uniting with my brethren in bearing of the great work and responsibility resting upon us. If we will do this, all will be right."
