==John Taylor (1859): "The Lord did hear him, and told him what to do"==
<blockquote>
There was one man that had a little good sense and a spark of faith in the promises of God, and that was Joseph Smith—a backwoods man. He believed a certain portion of Scripture which said—"If any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not." He was fool enough in the eyes of the world, and wise enough in the eyes of God and angels and all true intelligence, to go into a secret place to ask God for wisdom, believing that God would hear him. The Lord did hear him, and told him what to do.<ref>{{JDfairwiki|vol=7|disc=50|start=322|date=7 October 1859|author=John Taylor}}</ref>
