"I like to think of our lives as like a wagon wheel. We can divide our
activities into areas, such as the areas between the spokes. In one area we
devote our time to making a living; another area to our home; another area to
our political and civic life; another area might even be our recreational life.
I like to think of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, the great Church of God
as the heart, the center, the hub of the wheel, and from that central source and
hub comes the strength and the power and the oil and the grease that smooth out
and make us joyous and happy, and integrate the whole life. Only so far, of
course, as we put these teachings of Christ into operation in our homes, into
our business and into all of our pursuits, are we doing our full duty and are we
growing. That is why we are so anxious to have the spirit of God with us at all
times. That is why we come together so frequently, to sing, to commune and to
pray, and partake of the sacrament, in order that we might always have those
influence near us, that the same may bless us in the work that is before us." -
Franklin L. West, "Conference Report," April 1945, Evening Meeting, p.117
