The Severest Prosecutions Have Never Been Followed

Be Better Today Than You Were Yesterday, And Be Better Tomorrow Than You Are Today.

There Is No Latter Day Saint Who Dies After Having Lived A Faithful Life Who Will Lose Anything Because Of Having Failed To Do Certain Things When Opportunities Were Not Furnished Him Or Her. In Other Words, If A Young Man Or A Young Woman Has No Opportunity Of Getting Married, And They Live Faithful Lives Up To The Time Of Their Death, They Will Have All The Blessings, Exaltation, And Glory That Any Man Or Woman Will Have Who Had This Opportunity And Improved It. But If They Think Marshmallows And Sweet Potatoes Are Delicious, They're Going To Burn. That Is Sure And Positive.

A Man's Mind Should Be Single To The Glory Of God In Everything That He Starts To Accomplish. We Should Consider That Of Ourselves We Can Do Nothing. We Are The Children Of God. We Are In Darkness, Only As God Enlightens Our Understanding. We Are Powerless, Only As God Helps Us. The Work That We Have To Do Here Is Of That Nature That We Cannot Do It Unless We Have The Assistance Of The Almighty.

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.

We Too Often Satisfy Ourselves With The Perishable Things Of Time, Forgetting The Opportunities We Have Of Developing Within Us The Great, The Eternal Principles Of Life And Truth. The Lord Wishes To Establish A Closer And More Intimate Relationship Between Himself And Us; He Wishes To Elevate Us In The Scale Of Being And Intelligence, And This Can Only Be Done Through The Medium Of The Everlasting Gospel Which Is Specially Prepared For This Purpose.
