While serving as the president of the Liberty Stake in Salt Lake City, Bryant S. Hinckley faced a significant challenge involving a group of men who came to scoff at his leadership or the proceedings. He described this as the hardest battle of his life, but noted that he received strength from a divine and unseen source. Through this divine assistance, he was able to win the respect and confidence of the community, and those who came to scoff remained to pray.

In Their Own Words

“I faced the hardest battle of my life. From a divine and unseen source I was given strength. Those big fellows who came to scoff, remained to pray. Through divine assistance I won their respect and the confidence of the community. — Bryant S. Hinckley, The Autobiography of Bryant Stringham Hinckley”
