“KING: Does that mean that, according to the church canon, the Lord speaks through you?
HINCKLEY: I think he makes his will manifest, yes. KING: So if you change things, that’s
done by an edict given to you. HINCKLEY: Yes, sir. KING: How do you receive it? HINCKLEY: Well,
various ways. It isn’t necessarily a voice heard. Impressions come. The building of this very
building I think is an evidence of that. There came an impression, a feeling, that we need to enlarge
our facilities where we could hold our conferences. And it was a very bold measure. We had to tear
down a big building here and put this building up at great cost. But goodness sakes, what a
wonderful thing it’s proven to be. It is an answer to many, many needs. And I think it’s the result of
inspiration. KING: And that came from something higher than you. HINCKLEY: I think so.” (“A
