Every member of the priesthood should understand the divine plan designed by the Lord to raise up the first free people in modern times.

No true Latter-day Saint and no true American can be a socialist or a communist or support programs leading in that direction. These evil philosophies are incompatible with Mormonism, the true gospel of Jesus Christ.

We need missionaries to match our message.

A missionary who is inspired by the Spirit of the Lord must be led by that Spirit to choose the proper approach to be effective. We must not forget that the Lord Himself provided the Book of Mormon as His chief witness. The Book of Mormon is still our most powerful missionary tool. Let us use it.

The more we express our gratitude to God for our blessings, the more he will bring to our mind other blessings. The more we are aware of to be grateful for, the happier we become.

The Lord is pleased with every effort, even the tiny, daily ones in which we strive to be more like Him.

We are an overfed and undernourished nation digging an early grave with our teeth.
