William Willis and Brother Meik Receive Spiritual Guidance via Casting Lots for Ordination

“Before they were confirmed, I had requested brother Meik to select three for the purpose of ordaining to the offices of Priest, Teacher, and Deacon ; he did so, but did not mention to me which of them should be called to which office, and when I re-entered the room, I proposed to cast lots as to who should hold the different offices ; the lots were used, having been prepared, and as they were opened, they were found to be exactly answering to our private arrangements, which caused much astonishment in our midst ; nevertheless: it was a testimony to me that the spirit of unity and truth presided over our administrations. — Millennial Star 14:18”
