I found a big lady who came up in the middle of the testimony. ...of living this day and age, for as I've heard it said many times, the things that are going to happen in this dispensation have never happened on the face of the earth before. In teaching the children this morning, I had placed in my position a few children, and I gathered them together, and I marveled to them the position that the Messiah came in.

The short period of time that they had of peace and harmony with one another and with their Lord. Such a short period of time. And look at, that was after the crucifixion of Christ. And I marveled at them and told them and I asked them if they realized the great destruction and the things we were going to have to pass through to get a thousand years harmony.

I wonder if he realizes from the full meaning that it is given. I'm going to have to get close to the priesthood and gain their confidence. They're actually going to be left. I'm thankful for my testimony of the gospel. I'm thankful for these brethren who stand behind me, sit behind me at this time. And I pray that I might do nothing at any time that will deprive me of their confidence or of their blessings. For I do want to go and prosper in this world.

And I dedicate my life, anyone, to the work of God and to the hands of these priesthood brethren. For I know, as far as I'm standing here, that it could get into more of a better hand and put better to use. And I pray that this spirit of the Lord will bless us all. And as we go along in our life, that we will seek out the blessings, seek out the place, the source that we want our blessings to come from. And that we will do all we can.

to get the Spirit of the Lord into people. This is my prayer, I pray, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
