There is no finer symbol or characterization of the [Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints] to me than to think of the boy Joseph going to the woods, in his own words, “on the morning of a beautiful, clear day, early in the spring,” kneeling, offering a prayer, asking questions of the God in heaven. Joseph’s search did not end there. The gospel and Church of Christ were not revealed from heaven in their entirety like the blueprints of an architect’s building plans. Rather, Joseph continued to ask questions. He had searching questions that he was asking to find solutions to his problems, and he received “line upon line, precept upon precept; here a little, and there a little. . . .” (D&C 128:21.) Only in response to hungry minds, to earnest questions of the boy Prophet and of his associates, did the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, it seems to me, reveal their mind. – Lowell L. Bennion, “Conference Report,” April 1968, General Priesthood Meeting, p.95
