"Men are here upon the earth then that they might have joy. Is there anything more desirable than happiness or joy? We are all seeking it; we all want it. How is it to be obtained? It can only be obtained through the Church and Kingdom of God. How may one get into this Church and Kingdom of God? The answer is: he must be born into it. He was born into the world to begin with, and now if he comes into the kingdom of God he must be born into it. Christ said to Nicodemus upon one occasion: 'Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. Except a man be born of water and of the spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.' (John 3:3-5.) So that it becomes in a sense a real birth. Baptism by water and the laying on of hands for the reception of the Holy Ghost is the door that leads into the Church and Kingdom of God." - Rudger Clawson, "Conference Report," October 1928, Afternoon Meeting p. 46
