Bro[ther Heber J.] Grant confessed
that his investments were with a view of making money except the sugar factory
which was for loyalty to the church. ... Pres[ident George Q.] Cannon
prophesied that we would get through our financial troubles all right. To that
we all said amen. (Francis M. Lyman, Journal, October 5, 1893, in Minutes of
the Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1835-1951
[rev. ed.; Salt Lake City, 2020])
Bro[ther] John W. Taylor spoke upon
the right of the Presidency to direct in all things religious, political and
temporal. He prophesied relief for the Presidency and people financially.
(Francis M. Lyman, Journal, April 4, 1895, in ibid.)
[John W. Taylor:] He rejoiced in the
testimony that he had that God lives and that this is His Kingdom. Have felt
that the day was not far distant when John the beloved, and the three Nephites
would be with us in our meetings, and give us instructions. I feel that it is a
miracle that Bros. Young and Grant are with us today. I prophesy in the name of
the Lord Jesus Christ that Brother Grant will be free, and that he shall live
and now owe any man a dollar. I feel to say the Church shall be free from debt.
I prophesy that brother Grant shall have sons and daughters. I prophesy these
things not in my own name, but in the name of Jesus Christ. . . . (Heber J.
Grant, Journal, January 4, 1898, in The Diaries of Heber J. Grant, 1880-1945
