"If the churches of the present day have the Holy Ghost, why are they so much at
a loss to understand truth? Why do they walk in so many different ways and
doctrines? Why do they need whole libraries of sermons, tracts, divinities,
debates, arguments, and opinions, all written by the wisdom of men, without even
professing to be inspired? Well doth the Lord complain, saying: 'Their fear
toward me is taught by the precept of men.'" — Parley P. Pratt, "A Voice of
Warning and Instruction to All People," p. 64

"Search the Scriptures, ye Saints of the Most High; among all your cares, and
all your duties, search the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, of the
Book of Mormon, and the revelations of God that have been written for our profit
and learning.
"And to the young people among us, a generation brought up amid the hurry, toil,
and cares..., I say do not neglect to treasure up in your hearts the history,
and the prophecies, and their fulfillment, and the promises, and hopes shadowed
forth therein, and the doctrines, and principles, and examples left on record.
"You may say you have not time; take those portions of time you would otherwise
devote to something less useful. We all have time to do it. I have been as hard
working in my day as any other man, perhaps, and I always had time to do it, and
always have done it, and it was by the light that shone in a dark place,
diligently and prayerfully searched out, and the Holy Spirit that shone upon the
understanding, through the prayer of faith, and through diligent search, that
caused me to see, and understand, and lay hold on certain things that came in
fulfillment of these prophecies." - Parley P. Pratt, "Journal of Discourses," 26
vols., p.129
