President Young ^He^ spoke followed upon Prayer said when any one Prayed all should close their Eyes and be united and all ask for the same thing that the speaker asks for without this we cannot get the Blessing And all parents should do the same in their family Prayer & learn their children to do the same or they cannot get what they ask for
