Administrations to the Sick

True or False; In the early Church, was consecrated oil administered internally?


Yesterday’s answer:

A.      The original rough draft to the Articles and Covenant of the Church


In 1959 Virginia Ryder Watters, great-great-granddaughter of Symonds Ryder, donated an original rough draft of the Articles and Covenants [Sections 20 and 22 of the Doctrine and Covenants] to the Historical Department via a Latter-day Saint high school student her husband knew. The document is titled “A commandment from God unto Oliver how he should build up his Church & the manner thereof.” It concludes “A true copy of the Articles of the Church of Christ. O.C. [Oliver Cowdery]” (“Historical,” 287, 290).
