"I have
noticed repeatedly, and I think it is generally true, that those who
are conscientious tithe payers are the ones who are able to meet their
obligations fairly, and to make steady progress. They are blessed
sufficiently at least to fulfill their obligations and to get ahead.
The Lord blesses them and they enjoy spiritual as well as temporal
blessings. I pray that the Lord may help us as Latter-day Saints to so
live that we may be worthy to receive his blessings, through the
development of the spirit of sacrifice, and the observance of this and
every other principle of the Gospel. With all the prosperity that we
may enjoy, and the general improvement in our financial conditions,
may we still continue to maintain faithfully that principle and may we
go forward and cultivate in our hearts the feeling that we are
stewards of all we possess, and that we hold it in trust for the Lord
and his work. May we develop the spirit of dedicating that which we
possess for the building up of his work!"

“The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints stands irrevocably
committed to the observance of sexual purity. It recognizes no
double standard of morality. It demands the same standard of virtue
from its men that it does from its women members, and recognizes no
circumstance or condition which justifies sexual association except
in virtuous and legal wedlock. This the Church recognizes to be not
only approved of the Lord but in direct compliance with his
command.” -

It appears to me that we may look forward with absolute confidence
and faith in the future, knowing, because of the experiences of the
past, that the Lord is on our side, and that with his help the
development of the Church will continue; that in this dispensation
in which we live he will consummate his purposes; his covenant
people will be gathered; Christ will come to reign personally upon
the earth; all of the purposes of the Lord will be consummated, and
his kingdom be established upon the earth as it is in heaven. - Anthony
