the royal blood lineage of the prophets and the Savior was not confined to the few select individuals described by Isaiah. Other notable leaders, such as those chosen to assist in the restoration of the Gospel in these last days, were also instilled with the blood and the spirit of their Lord, and these valiant souls were commissioned to establish this “ensign” for the work of the “gathering of my people in the last days.”

Among the notable and valiant leaders of this last dispensation was President Heber C. Kimball. Here was a [94] noble man, a prophet, and a true apostle of Jesus Christ who possessed all of the powers and gifts of the ancient apostles.

On one occasion in England, crowds of people greeted him with flowers, songs, and offerings of kindness. The Apostle Orson F.
