As Latter-day Saints we must ever be vigilant. The way for each person and each family to guard against the slings and arrows of the Adversary and to prepare for the great day of the Lord is to hold fast to the iron rod, to exercise greater faith, to repent of our sins and shortcomings, and to be anxiously engaged in the work of His kingdom on earth, which is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Herein lies the only true happiness for all our Father's children.

Get a notebook, my young folks, a journal that will last through all time, and maybe the angels may quote from it for eternity. Begin today and write in it your goings and comings, your deepest thoughts, your achievements and your failures, your associations and your triumphs, your impressions and your testimonies.

I am comforted by the assurance that there will be beautiful music in heaven, and for that I am most grateful.

Your faith will perform miracles, especially when you get your hands and feet involved.

Let no family go into eternity without having left their memoirs for their children, their grandchildren, and their posterity.

Procrastination-thou wretched thief of time and opportunity!

Success should not necessarily be gauged by always reaching the goal set, but by progress and attainment.
