“We
have to obey the principles of the Gospel and to be humble and meek if
we ever expect to attain to the exaltations. One of my beloved
brethren mentioned to me the other day at the funeral of Brother Jesse
W. Fox that there was not a man present but would like to speak a word
concerning him. What was the matter with Brother Fox that
everybody should love him so? Why, he was one of the meek of the
earth, and every meek man is loved. Meekness is a natural
principle, which we all admire. It is said that
Moses was a meek man. Every servant of God has to be a
meek man, or else he will never be able to stand in his lot and
calling. He has to say, as the Savior said, ‘Not my will, but
Thine, be done.’ ‘Teach me to see as my brethren see. Let
no false impression be upon my mind; but let me be sanctified by the
truth.’ That is the prayer of every man who desires to be
established in the everlasting righteousness of God.” –

“As
Latter-day-Saints we are frequently admonished to live our religion. I
understand that to live our religion is to love the Lord our God with
all our might, mind and strength, and our neighbor as ourselves, and
speak of all the best we can. I understand that to live my religion is
to mind my own business attend to my own affairs, work out my own
salvation, and magnify my calling. I understand that to live my
religion is to trust in the Lord and do good; to seek earnestly for
the blessing of the Almighty, and to be filled with gratitude to Him
that I have the privilege of being a member of His Church, that I have
a living testimony, that I have become sanctified through the precious
blood of Christ, and that I have the fellowship of the Holy Ghost.” -

I say to all,
especially to myself, repent, and let us turn over a new leaf; let us
cease our slothfulness, our indifference, and let it be manifest to
Almighty God that we appreciate His loving kindness, that we appreciate
His redemption, that we appreciate the glorious hope of everlasting
lives, in a glorious resurrection, by our works being coupled with our
faith to the glory of the Father, through Jesus Christ. - George
Teasdale, "Conference Report," April 1898
