One man told of watching Apostle
Spencer W. Kimball in a church meeting in Denver, Colorado. The closing prayer
having concluded, the chapel began to clear. An Indian man with a woman
and a boy, dirty and unkempt, walked up the aisle toward
the Apostle, the church goers parting as if before lepers. In broken English, the
parents asked Elder Kimball to give their sick
boy a blessing. Elder Kimball scooped
the boy up, hugged him and kissed him, and blessed
him while holding him close. If I'd have heard
that story, I'd have said that Elder
Kimball was just trying to impress onlookers,
but I could see his face. I could read the love
he had for those people.
