Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 102: February 15, 1940 A question often asked may be touched on here. For the guidance of the Church as a whole, God gives revelation only to those who hold general authority in the Church, and to them only. Within the district those who receive revelation for the district are the district officers. In and for the branch it is the branch president and his counsellors who receive divine guidance. The head of the family, holding the Priesthood, has the right to full and complete revelation for the guidance of the family. As an individual, I can claim revelation for my personal guidance. This order of right should be understood by all. Revelation comes in various forms. Sometimes it comes by the spoken word. God may speak, or His messenger. Moroni, for instance, spoke to Joseph Smith words some of which are found in the second section of the Doctrine and Covenants. So, when people say: We ought to have revelation now as we did in the days of must answer, Open your eyes: we do have revelation every day; such as we need from day to day. I trust there may yet be fundamental revelations given, but we have enough now to apply nowadays to meet all the changing conditions of our lives, and to prepare us for celestial glory. Revelations have been given to Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, Lorenzo Snow, Joseph F. Smith and President Heber J. Grant. Every one of them has had revelation whereby the Church has been guided. The Lord does not need to come in person and stand before His prophets to talk with them. We have no record of such manifestation except in the opening of dispensations. By the spirit of revelation the will of God is impressed upon the righteous man who is entitled to receive revelations and he converts it into language understandable to man. If you have followed me you will understand that all of us may have revelation, and should have revelation. I pity the member of our Church who does not have communication with God in such a manner as to say: I know something; God has revealed it to me. It is a pitiful state of mind and condition.
