"So far as this world is concerned, some people look upon it
as a horrid world, a world full of pain, sorrow and suffering. I do not regard
it as such. I consider it a blessed world, a glorious world, which affords us
very many privileges. What other place is there besides this world where we can
obtain remission of sins? That ordinance belongs to this life and this world and
to no other. And a great many things pertaining to this world we can do here,
but which we cannot do after we pass behind the vail. If we attend to the duties
of this life in the time and season thereof, not leaving undone anything which
we are able to do, all will be well with us hereafter; but if we fail in the
performance of our duties here, we certainly shall regret and perhaps mourn our
negligence when we shall have passed away; and besides we shall then have to
depend upon others to do things in our behalf, which we might have done
ourselves. Let us improve our opportunities here, and appreciate them as fully
we ought to." - Charles C. Rich, "Journal of Discourses," 26 vols., 19:376
