[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 10 Presidents Young, Kimball, And Woodruff with their Ladies spent the Afternoon at Capt Russells on a visit.
Several Remarks were made by President Young concerning the Power of man. He said every man had power according to his faith and faithfulness and good works. That He had no power to give any man neither could he take power from any man who was righteous for He would have to go to work in unrighteousness to take away the power of a righteous man And He could not be prospered in it. He also spoke of rich men in this Church & Kingdom being brought down poor. He said men could ownly rise, assend & be exhalted according as they had decended below, been abased made poor &c. Many other remarks were made.
I spent the evening with Mrs Woodruff at Sister Pratts whose husband has gone to the Islands of the sea.
