"Looking at vegetable life, we see plants that grow in darkness. They are pale; they possess not the beauty of those that grow in open sunlight. When I was a youth, I remember being sent into the cellar late in the spring to sprout some potatoes. Every sprout was reaching out for that ray of sunlight that came through a little aperture! And yet we go through life and see God's highest creation, man, turning his back on the light, and not as the potato sprout struggling therefore. I wonder if we are magnifying our calling and are growing toward the light in a desire to be warmed by Christ's love? I wonder if we know just who we are? If we do, let us be obedient unto every commandment of the Lord our Father." - Walter P. Monson, "Conference Report," April 1917, Outdoor Meeting, p.103
