Mrs. William P. Jennings's Miraculous Temple Assistance

“I must relate to you a peculiar thing that happened to me in the Temple. You know I have been doing and having the work done for my Father’s household as fast as I could do it; but it seemed slow, and after Brother Wm. Perke’s death I seemed bothered about my records. A Brother Willis had been appointed to his place, so I thought I must go and see the condition in which my record was left, so in looking over them Brother Willis said, ‘Does this all depend on you?’ I said, ‘Yes,all. I am responsible for this being done.’ He said, “You have something to do!’ and a thought came over me ‘What a mountain, oh, what a mountain!’ and I could not help repeating it over and over in my mind, and when I got home I repeated the same words to my sister Susan, and said, ‘we must try and do more, for I wanted to live until it was all done.’ Well, a few days after I went toour early meeting that the sister workers hold. Some of the sisters spoke of giving me a day to go through for my dead. Sister Winder came into the meeting and said, ‘that Sister Smith and Brother Winder had agreed that the sister’s could take Friday next to work for Sister Jennings.’ Well, on that day there was a great many of them went through, and those that could not go that day have gone since. On that same day some of the young ladies of the Twentieth Ward went for me, so it has been a glorious time, and there has scarcely been a day but some one takes a name for me. My heart was so full I could scarcely contain myself. Was not that a testimony to me? for the mountain is now disappearing. I had said nothing as to how I felt about my work before they volunteered to do this for me, yet I know that God liveth and hears our prayers. — Millennial Star 63:2”
