While serving in Kentucky on his mission in 1881, Elder Taylor prophesied to the family he was teaching that they would know the truth before the evening was over, how?
a.                  The Angel Moroni would appear to them
b.                  The Three Nephites would appear to them
c.                   They would have dreams telling them the Church was true
d.                  Their dead grandfather would appear to them
Yesterday’s answer:
B. Orson Pratt
From the life of Orson Pratt:   Blessed with a brilliant mind, Elder Pratt’s understanding of certain Church doctrines sometimes conflicted with those of other leaders of the Church, most notable President Brigham Young. As a result, Elder Pratt received correction from time to time. Never completely resigning himself to agreement with some things President Young taught, he nevertheless remained loyal to him and the Church. When Orson Pratt was attacked by “exceptionally orthodox” members of the Church, Brigham Young brushed aside these criticisms by bolstering Elder Pratt’s reputation with this affirmation of his faith: “If Brother Orson were chopped up in inch pieces, each piece would cry out Mormonism was true.”
