130 years ago today - Feb 25, 1894

[Heber J. Grant]
At noon met in the Temple with the members of what is known as 'President Woodruff's Prayer Circle'. I was appointed some weeks ago to take charge of this circle and reorganize the same. The room was a little cold and we did not dress.

I questioned all of those present as to their faith in the gospel. I asked if they had perfect and complete faith in the Prophet Joseph Smith and that they accepted Brigham Young, John Taylor and Wilford Woodruff as the legal representatives or successors of he Prophet Joseph. I also asked if they fully sustained all of the General authorities of the Church as they now existed without any mental reservation whatever and also as they now existed without any mental reservation whatever and also the Presidency of the Salt Lake Stake of Zion, and the Bishop and his counselors in their respective wards and also if they had full faith in all of the principles of the gospel and whether they felt that it was their duties to carry the same out in their lives including the law of tithing and the words of wisdom, to all of which the brethren present answered, yes.
