Prayer is a conversation with God, but prayer is no substitute for work.

We will become mightier and more powerful in our own right in direct proportion to the service and contribution we make to strengthen the Church.

It is glorious to be a member. It is glorious to have any office or calling in the Church, no matter how relatively humble the title may sound. I am impressed constantly with the fact that, regardless of our calling, we are all encouraged, we are all dedicated, and we are all working in the service of the Master.

When someone speaks we ought to get three things out of the message. First and least important (but still very important), we ought to get what is said.

No political party is justified to continue in existence unless it clearly states the principles which it advocates, the platform upon which its candidates stand, and then with integrity, when and if elected, carry out those principles and live up to that platform.

We must know what they stand for before we can favor them with our vote.
