I will relate and experience I had in the Rocky Mountains. Going up in a rocky dell, I knelt in prayer to God. I saw the Presidents of the Church put their hands on the Twelve to bless them; and wonderful power was conferred. In turn I saw the Seventies come, and they were blessed by the Presidents and Twelve. Some of them spoke in different languages, and I was given to understand that every man was to go and preach to all in their own tongue.

I saw miracles. I saw a large number of men coming up, and heard one say, "We have changed our method; we contended strenuously that the authority was with us; brethren, behold the power of God."

After making the statement that the authority was with the Reorganization, many came into the church, some without baptism; I asked why, and was told: "These have not defiled their priesthood."
