D&C 108:1 Lyman Sherman

Lyman Sherman was a faithful member of the Church who had served in Zion's Camp and had been called as one of the seven Presidents of the Seventy. The Prophet Joseph Smith recorded in his journal that on Dec 26, 1835, "Brother Lyman Sherman came in, and requested to have the word of the Lord through me; 'for,' said he, 'I have been wrought upon to make known to you my feelings and desires, and was promised that I should have a revelation which should make known my duty' " (in History of the Church 2:345; see also Journals, Volume 1: 1832-1839, vol. 1 of Journals series of The Joseph Smith Papers 2008, 137).
