Yesterday’s answer

C   Joseph Smith running his fingers through his hair

From the life of John Ray Young:   In the early days of Nauvoo John Ray suffered with chills and fever until he was quite feeble. “One day,” writes Elder Young, “father had taken me out for a little exercise and sunshine. While walking, we met the Prophet Joseph and Hyrum Smith and also Sidney Rigdon. Joseph asked if I was the little son the Elders had been requested to pray for. Being answered in the affirmative, he took the hat from my head, ran his fingers for a moment through my curly locks and then said: ‘Brother Lorenzo, this boy will live to be a man and will help carry the gospel to the nations of the earth.’ I believe I grew stronger from that minute.”
