I'm putting this entry in as an extra today.   I don't want any one entry to be too long, so you can read a shorter story at one time -- I don't know how readers feel about that ?  It goes with the one today about the testimonies of the Prophet Joseph Smith.  I am including the testimonies of my parents, Ruth Allen Miles, and Orson Pratt Miles, both faithful saints during their lives.    This first story was written by my mother Ruth.  The Solemn Assembly    (Mother, Ruth, was at this Solemn Assembly.)     These stories are in the book of the lives of my ancestors.   Rededication:   by Spencer W.

Ether 12:27 tells us:    "And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness.  I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then I will make weak things become strong unto them."     This following article is very i...
