This thought I would like to suggest in connection with youth and in connection with our own lives: There are many things that will give us inspiration and guidance. It is astonishing when you hear men frankly and freely bear their testimonies—when the message came to their hearts, that was the moment when the Lord spoke to them. I pray that the Lord will quicken the best within us. We are likely to refer to it as conscience. I believe that men and women who live humbly and prayerfully may have within themselves the blessing of the Spirit of God, the gift of the Holy Ghost, a power that will guide them, protect them, reveal to them truth, give them knowledge throughout their days, for their own blessing and protection. – Oscar W. Kirkham, “Look Up at the Spires,” Conference Report, October 1949, p. 92
