The Time Has Now Come

You Exert A Certain Degree Of Influence, And Be It Ever So Small, It Affects Some Person Or Persons, And For The Results Of The Influence You Exert You Are Held Accountable. You, Therefore, Whether You Acknowledge It Or Not, Have Assumed An Importance Before God And Man That Cannot Be Overlooked.

The God Of The World Is The Gold And The Silver. The World Worships This God. It Is All-powerful To Them, Though They Might Not Be Willing To Acknowledge It. Now It Is Designed, In The Providence Of God, That The Latter-day Saints Should Show Whether They Have So Far Advanced In The Knowledge, In The Wisdom And In The Power Of God That They Cannot Be Overcome By The God Of The World. We Must Come To That Point.

When You Find Yourselves A Little Gloomy, Look Around You And Find Somebody That Is In A Worse Plight Than Yourself; Go To Him And Find Out What The Trouble Is, Then Try To Remove It With The Wisdom Which The Lord Bestows Upon You; And The First Thing You Know, Your Gloom Is Gone, You Feel Light, The Spirit Of The Lord Is Upon You, And Everything Seems Illuminated.

Mortality Is A School Of Suffering And Trials. We Are Here That We May Be Educated In A School Of Suffering And Of Fiery Trials, Which School Was Necessary For Jesus, Our Elder Brother, Who, The Scriptures Tell Us, ‘was Made Perfect Through Suffering.’ It Is Necessary That We Suffer In All Things, That We May Be Qualified And Worthy To Rule, And Govern All Things, Even As Our Father In Heaven And His Eldest Son, Jesus.

. . . This Is The High Destiny Of The Sons Of God, They Who Overcome, Who Are Obedient To His Commandments, Who Purify Themselves Even As He Is Pure. They Are To Become Like Him; They Will See Him As He Is; They Will Behold His Face And Reign With Him In His Glory, Becoming Like Unto Him In Every Particular.
