Heber J. Grant on the Vague Nature of Certain Prophecies

  

Called at the office for a few minutes, and then attended fast meeting in the Eighteenth Ward. Among the speakers was Brother Abinadi Pratt, who prophesied that next October the Church would undergo a very important change. Just what this change would be, he did not say. He also prophesied that President Woodruff would live until after 1891. His prophecy did not strike me as being very definite, or being of very much force. (Heber J. Grant, Journal, November 3, 1887, in The Diaries of Heber J. Grant, 1880-1945 Abridged, Digital Edition [Salt Lake City: 2015])
