So the question arises: How can we develop faith? May I say, my brethren and sisters, that there is one means, I think, that is all too generally neglected in the Church, and that is prayer in the home. I speak from my own experience, largely, and observation, when I make that remark, because if experience has taught me one thing more than another it is that God does hear and answer the prayer that is made to him in faith, if the prayer is accompanied also with the desire to fulfill all the conditions of faith. – Joseph F. Merrill, “Conference Report,” October 1937, Second Day-Morning Meeting, p.71
