I believe it was from this very pulpit that my grandfather presented a sermon in which he said, “The test, the test, the TEST is coming.” Well, the test is here. The test has always been here. We came into the world as a test. All the way down the line there are adjustments to make. There are sins to overcome. There is much to learn. There are weaknesses above which we must rise. We must gain self-mastery, become righteous, and attain unto perfection. – Spencer W. Kimball, “Conference Report,” October 1951, Afternoon Meeting, p.84
