Sister [Jane E.] Molen asked the Children if they wished Sister Snow to speak in Tongues, they answered yes. she wished them to pray earnestly that she might do so.

Sister Snow said there is so many spirits at work the gifts of God should be used very carefully it is sacred & it would be very wicked to make light of it. Children pray night & morning to God and He will love you. He loves little Children if they are good. Lift up your hearts to God so that I may speak to you.

She then spoke and Sister Zina D. Young interpreted as follows. [p. 65]

The Lord is well pleased with you, if you could see there is Angels in our midst all around.

Father let Thy Spirit be with the young, that the evil one may have no power over them. May they never be destroyed. Bless them even as Thou didst when Thou wast here upon the Earth. May they be blest for ever and ever Amen.

To the Mothers, Oh Father Thou knowest the agony of my heart Oh Father let these Sisters have power to see even when their children are in danger, that they may guard them. give them power to heal their Children when sick, and even to raise the dead, and to open prison doors, and have faith until we can see even as we are seen and know as we are known, even until they shall all have passed away even so Amen.
