9. Why is the Holy Ghost of special importance?
CHRIST HEALING THE BLIND MAN, Bida
VI
BEFORE THERE WAS AN EARTH
A remarkable vision.
The brother of Jared had cut from Mount Shelem sixteen small stones, clear and transparent as glass. The barges in which his people were to cross the ocean were prepared; but he had been unable to devise a means of lighting them. So, with childlike faith and complete confidence he called upon the Father.
"I know, O Lord," said the brother of Jared, "that Thou hast all power, and can do whatsoever Thou wilt for the benefit of man; therefore touch these stones, O Lord, with Thy finger, and prepare them that they may shine forth in darkness; and they shall shine forth unto us in the vessels which we have prepared, that we may have light when we shall cross the sea . . . .
