[Apostle Abraham H. Cannon Journal] ... Pres. W[oodruff] then spoke a few words in English [to the Sandwich Island (Hawaian) choir] which Bro. Robt. B. T. Taylor interpreted. He told them they were of the seed of Israel of the tribe of Joseph, and they had a great work to do, for he had seen them in vision in the temples of God receiving their blessings. .... After dinner Pres. W[oodruff] made this remark to me while we were alone: "Bro. Cannon, your Father [George Q. Cannon] has got the biggest brain and the best mind of any man in the Kingdom, without exception." Sometime since he remarked to Chas. Wilcken that Father is the humblest man in the Church.
