Letter to Lydia Hatch Savage, 8 May 1898

Box 1228. Salt Lake City, Utah, Lydia L. Savage, Dear Sister: In answer to questions contained your letter of May 30th I have to say: It was recently decided by the council of the First Presidency and Twelve Apostles that children (deceased) should have reached the age of 14 years before they should be endowed for. In relation to sick children, it is proper to adhere to the revelations, which directs that the Elders should be called in that they may administer the ordinance ordained for the benefit of the sick. It is not improper, however, for sisters to administer to the sick children, but this should not be done by authority of the Priesthood.
