We are a great people. Why? Is it because we are great in ourselves? No. We recognize that the authority which we profess to hold—and which we do hold, I testify unto you—is powerless unless the spirit of service accompanies it. Is not authority, without service, without work, powerless as faith without works? The spirit of service is in our hearts, and this is what is making the people great. It has been said that it is not what we take in this life, but what we give up that makes us rich. And the Latter-day Saints have given, because, in the words of the Savior, it is more blessed to give than to receive; and the great work which the Father has definitely commissioned us to perform is making this people great, through the law of service and of sacrifice, which is the soul of the work in which we are engaged. – Charles A. Callis, “Conference Report,” October 1920, Second Overflow Meeting, p.113
