"We stand on the summit of the ages, awed by a great and solemn sense of history. This is the last and final dispensation toward which all in the past has pointed."
This is the focal point of all that has gone on before.
"This is the time when men from over the Earth come to the mountain of the Lord's house to seek and learn of his ways and to walk in his paths. This is the summation of all of the centuries of time since the birth of Christ to this present and wonderful day."
This is the greatest of all ages of human accomplishment.
"And more importantly, it is the season when God has again spoken, when his Beloved Son has appeared, when the divine priesthood has been restored, when we hold in our hand another testament of the Son of God."
Because of those truths, "We ought to be more Christ-like, more forgiving, more helpful and considerate to all around us."
Let the old year go and the new year come. Let another century pass and a new one take its place. Say goodbye to a millennium and greet the beginning of another thousand years.
"At some stage in all of this onward rolling, Jesus Christ will appear to reign in splendor upon the Earth. No one knows when that will be. Not even the angels in heaven will know of the time of his return. But it will be a welcome day."
