Yesterday’s answer:
A Orson Pratt
From the life of Orson Pratt: A young
missionary, much weakened by his long journey and suffering from the effects of
a fever, wandered the streets of Columbus, Ohio, hoping to find lodging for the
night. While standing bewildered on the town’s main thoroughfare, he felt
impressed to speak to a certain man. The man turned out to be the only member
of the Church in Columbus. While lodged at this brother’s home, the missionary
was browsing through the Church newspaper, The Messenger and Advocate,
and came across an announcement stating that he had been chosen as a member of
the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Following this item was a request that he be
in Kirtland by an appointed day. Leaving immediately, he traveled by stagecoach
and managed to arrive at ten o’clock on the morning designated, joining the
meeting of the Twelve that was already in session. The other brethren marveled
at this timely arrival and told him that they had all prayed, and some had
prophesied, that he would be in attendance that day. The new apostle was Orson
Pratt, who has ordained one of the original Twelve of this dispensation on the
day of his arrival in Kirtland, 26 April 1835.
