At the School of the Prophets Wilford Woodruff asks, "Why has the devil sought to take my life from the day I was born untill now more than any other men? For I seem a marked victim for the devil from the day I was born untill now, and I Can find but one answer & that is the devil knew if I got into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints I would write the History of the Church & leave on Record the doings, works & teachings of the prophets & Apostles Elders & Saints in the latter days . . ."
