Apostle Francis M. Lyman writes about meetings at the Salt Lake Temple: "Elder Moses Thatcher was so terribly sick he could not take part with us much. He could not offer the prayer which on an average took 35 minutes to offer. Pres[ident] Woodruff offered the prayer only once, the first time and he read it unhesitatingly without glasses. The rest of the Apostles including Pres[ident] Woodruff's counselors each offered the prayer twice."
