Andrew Jenson (General Conference, October 1926): use of "ancient of days" as a generic title

  

We do not know what will take place in the near future; only this we believe, that great events are close at hand. But we do sincerely hope and pray for a general awakening in the interest of Church history. Sometimes, when I visit some of the stakes of Zion in the interest of history, I am looked upon as a sort of Rip Van Winkle, or some ancient of days, who has been asleep for twenty years, or more, and it seems as if some people are actually annoyed by it. (A Voice in the Wilderness: The 1888-1930 General Conference Sermons of Mormon Historian Andrew Jenson, ed. Reid L. Neilson and Scott D. Marianno [Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2018], 291)
