“When I was eleven years old, my father took me to the patriarch, and he gave me … some promises that if I would prove faithful would come to pass. He said, ‘You … will preach the gospel to many people, but more especially to the Lamanites. And you will see them rise and be organized.’


“But soon after I came to Salt Lake City, the President of the Church invited me into his office and asked me to serve on the committee for the Lamanites. And a little later he called me again and said, ‘I want you to be the chairman of the Indian program.’ At last my patriarchal blessing was to be fulfilled.
