During the dedicatory prayer for the lower hall of the Kirtland Temple, with Sidney Rigdon as the voice of the prayer, a glorious sensation passed through the entire house while the people had their heads bowed in prayer. This tangible manifestation of God's presence was witnessed by Truman O. Angell and the entire assembly gathered in the hall, which had been filled at an early hour in the afternoon. The sensation served as a powerful sign of divine approval upon the Lord's house.
