“Take a family of ten children, for instance, and you may find nine of them purely of the Gentile stock, and one son or one daughter in that family who is purely of the blood of Ephraim. It was in the veins of the father or mother, and was reproduced in the son or daughter, while all the rest of the family are Gentiles. You may think that is singular, but it is true.”Brigham Young, April 8, 1855 · Preaching and Testimony—Gathering Israel—The Blood of Israel and the Gentiles—The Science of Life · JD 2:266-271
