We should also build the attitude that there is nothing of a vacation, nothing of a holiday in this great missionary service. It is hard, and at times discouraging, work. Last year our missionaries averaged sixty-seven hours a week in actual proselyting effort. Let those who contemplate missions realize that they will work as they have never worked before, and that they may expect such joy as they have not previously known.

Notwithstanding the trouble, notwithstanding the argument, notwithstanding the increasingly heavy hand of government, notwithstanding the spirit of arrogance we so often display, notwithstanding the growing tide of pornography and permissiveness, notwithstanding occasional corruption in public office and betrayal of sacred trust-I marvel at the miracle of America.

Stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight.

If you do not choose the kingdom of God, it does not matter what you choose instead.

There is too much of criticism and faultfinding with anger and raised voices.

God has saved you to make your appearance in the last days.

Let us never forget to pray. God lives. He is near. He is real.
