Jedediah Grant
Elder
Jedediah Grant, while serving a mission in Virginia was challenged to a debate
by the leader of the Baptist Church in the area. Elder Grant ended the
discussion with one question. What was the question?
a.
Who gave you
the authority to preach?
b.
Who is the
head of your church in this area?
c.
What is the
stick of Joseph?
d.
When can I
baptize you?
Yesterday’s answer:
(D) He placed the oil on the affected body
region
The
following from Margaret McIntire Burgess:
We were close neighbors to the Prophet’s family, . . . [and he] was
often in our home for short visits. One morning he came in and noticed I had a
piece of flannel around my throat. He inquired if my throat was sore. Mother
told him it was, and she was afraid it was the mumps. He called me to him and
took me upon his lap, then took the flannel off and asked mother for the oil.
He anointed my throat with the oil and then administered to me. I knew I was
well, as I got down from his lap after which I felt no more sore throat—another
proof of his tender, loving heart.
