"So it is a challenge to us all to be thoroughly prepared when we undertake
anything in life to carry through to a successful conclusion and in conformity
with our plans. In this connection, I would like to call your attention to other
instructions which the Savior gave in connection with this parable: 'Whosoever
doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.' (Luke
14:27) And again, 'No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking
back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.' (Luke
9:62) Therefore, when we undertake to put our hands to the plow as disciples
of the Lord, Jesus Christ, we must count the cost, and prepare ourselves to go
forward throughout our lives in his service if we expect to gain the blessings
and benefits which come from membership in his Church, and adherence to his
principles, as they have been revealed unto us." - Sylvester Q. Cannon,

"I appreciate the fact that we are living in
important times, and that it is proper for us so to live and act that we may be
guided by the influence and power of the Holy Spirit. The Lord has promised to
all of us who have taken upon us his name, who have been baptized in water and
by the power of the Holy Spirit, that if we will live in accordance with his
commandments we shall enjoy the light of his Spirit to guide us. Surely there
has never been a time in the history of the Church when that guidance was so
necessary for every individual." - Sylvester Q. Cannon, "Conference Report,"
April 1932, Afternoon Meeting, p.45
