I warn future historians to give credence to my history; for my testimony is true, and the truth of its record will be manifest in the world to come. All the words of the Lord will be fulfilled upon the nations, which are written in his book. The American nation will be broken in pieces like a potter’s vessel, and will be cast down to hell if it does not repent-and this, because of murders, whoredoms, wickedness, and all manner of abominations, for the Lord has spoken it. (Matthias F. Cowley, Wilford Woodruff, History of His Life and Labors, pg 500)
