Among The Immediate Obligations And Duties Resting

An Unsatisfied Appetite For Knowledge Means Progress And Is The State Of A Normal Mind.

Everyone Is Possessed With An Irresistible Desire To Know His Relationship To The Infinite.

It Is Part Of Our "mormon" Theology That The Constitution Of The United States Was Divinely Inspired; That Our Republic Came Into Existence Through Wise Men Raised Up For That Very Purpose. We Believe It Is The Duty Of The Members Of The Church To See That This Republic Is Not Subverted Either By Any Sudden Or Constant Erosion Of Those Principles Which Gave This Nation Its Birth.

Why Pray For The Kingdom Of God To Come Unless You Have In Your Heart A Desire And A Willingness To Aid In Its Establishment? Praying For His Will To Be Done And Then Not Trying To Live It, Gives You A Negative Answer At Once. You Would Not Grant Something To A Child Who Showed That Attitude Towards A Request He Is Making Of You. If We Pray For The Success Of Some Cause Or Enterprise, Manifestly We Are In Sympathy With It. It Is The Height Of Disloyalty To Pray For God's Will To Be Done, And Then Fail To Conform Our Lives To That Will.

The Rising Sun Can Dispel The Darkness Of Night, But It Cannot Banish The Blackness Of Malice, Hatred, Bigotry, And Selfishness From The Hearts Of Humanity.
