The testimony that God lives is a gift to us; it comes to us when we are worthy of it. He blesses us when we strive for that blessing and reach out and try to get it. He is indeed our Father in heaven, to whom we can go and from whom we can ask a blessing. We know that the world gazes on an immaterial something, which they worship, in a way, as God. We know the true and the living God, the God of Israel, and we know that in this day and age he reveals his mind and will to his children. That testimony that the Prophet Joseph gave 100 years ago, rings in the hearts and the ears of the Latter-day Saints today. Hundreds are coming into the fold, the message is bearing fruit, and while he is not accepted generally, his teachings and his principles are being accepted by the world today. – Winslow Farr Smith, “Conference Report,” October 1920, Second Overflow Meeting, p.118
