Writing in 1887, Alfred Douglas Young recollected his experience of speaking in tongues, with such being coupled by his brother interpreting such (cf. 1 Cor 12:10, 30; 14:5, 9, 13, 23, 26)
When I was baptized
and confirmed [a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints],
the Elders wished to ordain me an Elder, but I objected because I thought I was
not worthy. After my return home, I heard that a branch of the church was
organized in Gibson County where I was baptized. I returned there to visit my
friends and the Saints, and was ordained an Elder by my brother [William Young]
and Elder Daniel Hunt, on the 16th September 1841.
In this branch [of
the church], the gifts of the Gospel such as the gift of tongues and prophesyings
were made manifest.
In the evening after
my ordination there was a meeting of the branch at my brother’s house. For
the first time, I was called upon to preach, and spoke for some time in
tongues, and my brother gave the interpretation. (Benson
