After hearing of President Woodruff's death, President Snow repaired to a sacred altar, offered up the signs of the Priesthood, and poured out his heart to the Lord. He reminded the Lord how he plead for President Woodruff's life to be spared, "Nevertheless," he said, "Thy will be done."
Passing through the Celestial room and out into the large corridor, a glorious manifestation was given President Snow which I relate in the words of his granddaughter, Allie Young Pond: "It was right here that the Lord Jesus Christ appeared to me at the time of the death of President Woodruff. He instructed me to go right ahead and reorganize the First Presidency of the Church at once and not wait as had been done after the death of the previous presidents, and that I was to succeed President Woodruff."
President Snow did so. Probably his most notable characteristic was his revelation of the restoration of the law of tithing in the Church. After George Q. Cannon's death, the First Presidency was reorganized with Joseph F. Smith as First Counselor, and Rudger Clawson as Second. However, these brotheren were not set apart to these offices for President Snow took ill and passed away four days later.
