The Severest Prosecutions Have Never Been Followed

. . . This Is The High Destiny Of The Sons Of God, They Who Overcome, Who Are Obedient To His Commandments, Who Purify Themselves Even As He Is Pure. They Are To Become Like Him; They Will See Him As He Is; They Will Behold His Face And Reign With Him In His Glory, Becoming Like Unto Him In Every Particular.

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.

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.

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.

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