The Cause of God

The cause of God is one common cause, in which the Saints are alike all interested; we are all members of the one common body, and all partake of the same spirit, and are baptized into one baptism and possess alike the same glorious hope. The advancement of the cause of God and the building up of Zion is as much one man’s business as another’s. The only difference is that one is called to fulfil one duty, and another duty; “but if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it, and if one member is honored, all the rest rejoice with it, and the eye cannot say to the ear, I have no need of thee, nor the head to the foot I have no need of thee;” party feelings, separate interests, exclusive designs should be lost sight of in the one common cause, in the interest of the whole. (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, page 231.) – Henry D. Moyle, “Conference Report,” April 1958, Afternoon Meeting, p.64
