\u201cIt is an easy thing to believe in the dead prophets, but it is a greater thing to believe in the living prophets. . . .<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cOne day when President Grant was living, I sat in my office across the street following a general conference. A man came over to see me, an elderly man. He was very upset about what had been said in this conference by some of the Brethren, including myself. I could tell from his speech that he came from a foreign land. After I had quieted him enough so he would listen, I said, \u2018Why did you come to America?\u2019 \u2018I am here because a prophet of God told me to come.\u2019 \u2018Who was the prophet?\u2019 I continued. \u2018Wilford Woodruff.\u2019 \u2018Do you believe Wilford Woodruff was a prophet of God?\u2019 \u2018Yes, sir.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThen came the sixty-four dollar question, \u2018Do you believe that Heber J. Grant is a prophet of God?\u2019 His answer, \u2018I think he ought to keep his mouth shut about old-age assistance.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cNow I tell you that a man in his position is on the way to apostasy. He is forfeiting his chances for eternal life. So is everyone who cannot follow the living prophet of God.\u201d (Marion G. Romney, Conference Report<\/em>, April 1953, p. 125.)<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
