"What is a man without vision? What is a man without an
object in life? He is like 'a painted ship upon a painted ocean.' A life, to be
successful, must have directness of purpose, and one reason for the strength of
this work and of this people is that God has blessed us with a mission, with a
work. O, blessed be the man with a work and the people with a mission. When the
Angel Moroni appeared to the prophet Joseph Smith he did not say, 'you may wear
soft clothing, God is going to give you ease,' but he said: 'God has a work for
you to do,' and in that work the Prophet Joseph Smith achieved greatness and the
favor of God, and that is how we are becoming a great people, not by what we
receive, but by what we give. For it is more blessed to give than to receive.
Now the prophet of old said: Where there is no vision the people perish." -

"I beg of you
mothers and you fathers to teach your daughters that they, too, have to
fight a strenuous battle. God bless and protect. the womanhood of this
nation! The young women, under the sustaining prayers and the counsels of
their mothers, need the restraining, discipline which characterizes a
well-ordered home. Protect the young men and young women, and build them up
in the faith of the true and the living God, so that when they go forth in
the great battle of life, they will have the assurance that they will not
fall victims to the evils of the world. God help us to be loyal to him, to
give unto him all the praise and the glory. And if we go forth to battle,
let us remember that the great God of the whole earth, Jesus Christ, is the
King...." - Charles

"When we see the judgments of God coming
upon the earth it is proof that the Savior, who said to the troubled sea and
angry elements, 'Peace, be still,'
will say to the troubled world, 'Peace,
be still.' He will, at his second
coming, inaugurate the Millennium, bring to pass the glorious resurrection, and
all the things he has promised to those that obey him."
