It is natural for most men to turn to the past for proved wisdom. The Bible contains the wisdom of the ages and the demonstrations of God’s power to uplift the human family. From its pages come a transcendent comfort and a deeper sense of life’s purposes. I refer to its teachings with the utmost confidence. “Search the scriptures,” said Jesus, “for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” (John 5:39.) – Alma Sonne, “Conference Report,” October 1956, Afternoon Meeting, p.127
