"I bear my solemn witness that these gifts are with the Church today.
The sick are healed, the eyes of the blind are opened, the ears of the
deaf are unstopped, the lame are made to walk. The gift of tongues
blesses our missionaries and others the world over. The gifts of
wisdom and knowledge are evidenced by the leadership of our people
everywhere. Devils are cast out, spirits are discerned, the gift of
faith is demonstrated on every side. Many mighty miracles give
evidence that this is indeed his church, the church of Jesus Christ.
All the gifts and powers and blessings that have always identified
Christ's church are with the Church today." — James A.

"Among the sure signs of the true church of Christ are the
accompanying spiritual gifts. This has always been from the beginning.
When the authority of the priesthood has been found on the earth, it
is accompanied by the manifestations of spiritual gifts." — James A.

the Spirit," "Ensign," Nov. 1974, p. 27

"The lifeblood of the Church is the Holy Ghost functioning through the
holy priesthood. The Church is guided in every move by revelation." —

"Divorce is usually the result of one or both not living the gospel. I
suppose this is the same reason divorce was finally permitted in the
time of Moses, as referred to by the Savior as he answered the
Pharisees, when he said: 'Moses because of the hardness of your hearts
suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not
so.' (Matt. 19:8.)
And so in our day members do not abide by the law of the gospel in its
fullness, and, as in the day of Moses, divorce is permitted, when
deemed necessary, although it was never intended to be.
"If, in marriage, both parties would make gospel standards and
principles the basis of their marriage, few problems would arise they
could not handle. When one or the other or both begin to compromise
gospel standards, problems follow." - James A. Cullimore, "Marriage
Is
Intended to Be Forever," Ensign, June 1971, p. 93

“It
matters not what our nationality, our race, our culture, our academic
degree, or our political or social standing. We build security and
strength in our lives by living the gospel. President Joseph Fielding
Smith said: ‘And there is no cure for the ills of the world except the
gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our hope for peace, for temporal and
spiritual prosperity, and for an eventual inheritance in the kingdom
of God is found only in and through the restored gospel.’ ("Counsel to
the Saints and to the World," Joseph Fielding Smith, Ensign, July
1972, p. 27.)
“May I say to members of the Church everywhere, this is how we establish Zion where we live, by living the gospel, by being pure in heart, by being worthy.” - James A. Cullimore, “To Be in the World but Not of the World,” Ensign (CR), January 1974, p. 119

And then he gave us the real key
to joy and happiness. He said: "But learn that he who doeth the
works of righteousness shall receive his reward, even peace in this
world, and eternal life in the world to come." (D&C 59:23.)
Peace comes as the Father witnesses unto us his divine approval of
the things that we are doing. This peace is a basis of real joy and
happiness, and it comes to us through the gospel of Jesus Christ. -

Report," October 1967, Afternoon Meeting, p.45
