==John Taylor (1884): "When our Heavenly Father appeared unto Joseph Smith, the Prophet, He pointed to the Savior"==
<blockquote>
I have heard some remarks in the Temple pertaining to these matters, and also here, and it has been thought, as has been expressed by some, that we ought to look for some peculiar manifestations. The question is, What do we want to see? Some peculiar power, some remarkable manifestations? All these things are very proper in their place; all these things we have a right to look for; but we must only look for such manifestations as are requisite for our circumstances, and as God shall see fit to impart them. Certain manifestations have already occurred. When our Heavenly Father appeared unto Joseph Smith, the Prophet, He pointed to the Savior who was with him, (and who, it is said, is the brightness of the Father's glory and the express image of His person) and said: ‘This is my beloved Son, hear Him.’” Later in the sermon he mentions the appearance of  John the Baptist, and Peter, James and John; and Moroni.<ref>{{JDfairwiki|author=John Taylor|title=Manifestations To Be Looked For, etc.|date=18 May 1884|vol=25|disc=23|start=177|end=178}}</ref>
