The Time Has Now Come

As Man Now Is, God Once Was; As God Is Now Man May Be.

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.

Among Us, I Am Happy To Say, Old Age Is Honorable, And Regarded As A Blessing From The Lord. It Is Our Duty To Desire To Live Long Upon The Earth, That We May Do As Much Good As We Possibly Can. I Esteem It A Great Privilege To Have The Opportunity Of Living In Mortality. The Lord Has Sent Us Here "for A Wise And Glorious Purpose," And It Should Be Our Business To Find Out What That Purpose Is And Then To Order Our Lives Accordingly.

There Is No Mortal Man That Is So Much Interested In The Success Of An Elder When He Is Preaching The Gospel As The Lord That Sent Him To Preach To The People Who Are The Lord's Children

We Trace The Hand Of The Almighty In Framing The Constitution Of Our Land
