During the funeral procession of President Wilford Woodruff, President Lorenzo Snow, while looking at the crowd of people on the sidewalk, prophesied to his companions that some individuals in the multitude would never taste of death but would be changed in the twinkling of an eye.
In Their Own Words
“Then President Snow with rare prophetic gift looked out of the carriage at the multitude which thronged the sidewalks, and waving his hand over the sea of faces remarked. to his companions: “Yes, there are those’ right here in this throng who will never taste of death, but will be changed in the twinkling of an eye.” — The Young Woman's Journal 9:10”
