In this way the Church of Christ has always been led. Occasionally men arise who tower above the multitude in the extent of their knowledge, such as the Prophet Joseph, and others whose names I need not mention; for as the Lord revealed to Abraham, there are differences in spirits. He spoke of the Kokaubeam, or the stars, and of the difference manifest in them; that one star was greater and brighter than another, until Kolob was reached, which is near the throne of the Eternal, and He said it was so with the spirits of men.
