[John Henry Smith]
Manti

The people passed through the rooms of the house. 2,200 persons were said to be present.

The heavens were opened. Sacred choirs sang, Angles were seen, Hallos of light encircled the head of the Priesthood and joy filled our hearts. It was the day of days and none present will ever forget it.
