Parley P. PrattFeeling our weakness and inexperience, and

lest we should err in judgment concerning these spiritual phenomena, myself, John Murdock, and several other Elders, went to Joseph Smith, and asked him to inquire of the Lord concerning these spirits or manifestations.

After we had joined in prayer in his translating room, he dictated in our presence the following revelation: [D&C 50] Each sentence was uttered slowly and very distinctly, and with a pause between each, sufficiently long for it to be recorded, by an ordinary writer, in long hand.

This was the manner in which all his written revelations were dictated and written. There was never any hesitation, reviewing, or reading back, in order to keep the run of the subject; neither did any of these communications undergo revisions, interlinings, or corrections.

As he dictated them so they stood, so far as I have witnessed; and I was present to witness the dictation of several communications of several pages each. ▫ (Autobiography of Parley P. Pratt, edited by his son, Parley P. Pratt [Salt

The Lord’s Pattern (D&C 52:14-19)

…he that prayeth, whose spirit is contrite…he that speaketh, whose spirit is contrite,

whose language is meek and edifieth…he that trembleth under my power

-if he obey mine ordinances-Shall

…be made strong…shall bring forth fruits of praise and wisdom
