"On several occasions President Heber J. Grant was strongly impressed with President Brigham Young's ability to talk with the Lord. President Grant said: 'I was familiar with the Prophet Brigham Young. I knelt down time and time again in his home in the Lion House at family prayers, as a child and as a young man; and I bear witness that as a little child, upon more than one occasion, because of the inspiration of the Lord to Brigham Young while he was supplicating God for guidance, I have lifted my head, turned and looked at the place where Brigham Young was praying, to see if the Lord was not there. It seemed to me that he talked to the Lord as one man would talk to another' ("He Talked to the Lord," in Leon Hartshorn, comp., Classic Stories from the Lives of Our Prophets [1975], 44)."
