When You Find Yourselves A Little Gloomy,

There Are Some Who Do Not Learn, And Who Do Not Improve As Fast As They Might, Because Their Eyes And Their Hearts Are Not Upon God; They Do Not Reflect Neither Do They Have That Knowledge Which They Might Have; They Miss A Good Deal Which They Might Receive. We Have Got To Obtain Knowledge Before We Obtain Permanent Happiness; We Have Got To Be Wide Awake In The Things Of God.

The Severest Prosecutions Have Never Been Followed By Revelations Changing A Divine Law, Obedience To Which Brought Imprisonment Or Martyrdom. Though I Go To Prison, God Will Not Change His Law Of Celestial Marriage.

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

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.
