We Should Try To Learn The Nature

It Is Our Duty To Try To Be Perfect, … To Improve Each Day, And Look Upon Our Course Last Week And Do Things Better This Week; Do Things Better Today Than We Did Them Yesterday

Every Trial A Man Goes Through, If He Is Faithful In That Trial And Does Honor To God And His Religion He Has Espoused, At The End Of That Trial Or Affliction That Individual Is Nearer To God, Nearer In Regard To The Increase Of Faith, Wisdom, Knowledge And Power, And Hence Is More Confident In Calling Upon The Lord For Those Things He Desires.

We Should Try To Learn The Nature Of [the Spirit Of Revelation]. . . . This Is The Grand Means That The Lord Has Provided For Us, That We May Know The Light, And Not Be Groveling Continually In The Dark.

There Is A Way By Which Persons Can Keep Their Consciences Clear Before God And Man, And That Is To Preserve Within Them The Spirit Of God, Which Is The Spirit Of Revelation To Every Man And Woman. It Will Reveal To Them, Even In The Simplest Of Matters, What They Shall Do, By Making Suggestions To Them. We Should Try To Learn The Nature Of This Spirit, That We May Understand Its Suggestions, And Then We Will Always Be Able To Do Right. This Is The Grand Privilege Of Every Latter-day Saint.

The God Of The World Is The Gold And The Silver. The World Worships This God. It Is All-powerful To Them, Though They Might Not Be Willing To Acknowledge It. Now It Is Designed, In The Providence Of God, That The Latter-day Saints Should Show Whether They Have So Far Advanced In The Knowledge, In The Wisdom And In The Power Of God That They Cannot Be Overcome By The God Of The World. We Must Come To That Point.
