As Man Now Is, God Once Was;

We Should Try To Learn The Nature Of [the Spirit Of Revelation]. . . . This Is The Grand Means That The Lord Has Provided For Us, That We May Know The Light, And Not Be Groveling Continually In The Dark.

The Idea Is Not To Do Good Because Of The Praise Of Men; But To Do Good Because In Doing Good We Develop Godliness Within Us, And This Being The Case We Shall Become Allied To Godliness, Which Will In Time Become Part And Portion Of Our Being.

There Is A Way By Which Persons Can Keep Their Consciences Clear Before God And Man, And That Is To Preserve Within Them The Spirit Of God, Which Is The Spirit Of Revelation To Every Man And Woman. It Will Reveal To Them, Even In The Simplest Of Matters, What They Shall Do, By Making Suggestions To Them. We Should Try To Learn The Nature Of This Spirit, That We May Understand Its Suggestions, And Then We Will Always Be Able To Do Right. This Is The Grand Privilege Of Every Latter-day Saint.

Every Trial A Man Goes Through, If He Is Faithful In That Trial And Does Honor To God And His Religion He Has Espoused, At The End Of That Trial Or Affliction That Individual Is Nearer To God, Nearer In Regard To The Increase Of Faith, Wisdom, Knowledge And Power, And Hence Is More Confident In Calling Upon The Lord For Those Things He Desires.

Make Others Happy, And You Will Be Happy Yourself.
