Be Better Today Than You Were Yesterday,

Our Being Edified At Conference Depends On Us. It Becomes Necessary That We Prepare Our Hearts To Receive And Profit By The Suggestions That May Be Made By The Speakers During The Progress Of The Conference, Which May Be Prompted By The Spirit Of The Lord. I Have Thought, And Still Think, That Our Being Edified Does Not So Much Depend Upon The Speaker As Upon Ourselves.

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.

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.

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

The Time Has Now Come For Every Latter-day Saint ... To Do The Will Of The Lord And To Pay His Tithing In Full. That Is The Word Of The Lord To You.
