Pres. Petersen told of an incident which he often heard Zebedee Coltrin relate. One day the Prophet Joseph [Smith] asked him and Sidney Rigdon to accompany him into the woods to pray. When they had reached a secluded spot Joseph laid down on his back and stretched out his arms. He told the brethren to lie one on each arm, and then shut their eyes. After they had prayed he told them to open their eyes. They did so and saw a brilliant light surrounding a pedestral which seemed to rest on the earth. They closed their eyes and again prayed. Then they saw, on opening them, the Father seated upon a throne; they prayed again and on looking saw the Mother also; after praying and looking the fourth time they saw the Savior added to the group. He had auburn-brown, rather long, wavy hair and appeared quite young. . . .
