On the brink of a new millennium, the Sunday morning session of general conference was a time to reflect on the prophetic place this dispensation holds in history.
"I am overwhelmed with a grand and solemn sense of history as I contemplate this period," said President Gordon B. Hinckley, sharing some of his sentiments. "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. . . . My brethren and sisters, do you realize what we have? Do you recognize our place in the great drama of human history?"
Music for the session included the Tabernacle Choir singing, "Thanks for the Sabbath School," in commemoration of this sesquicentennial year of the Sunday School organization. President Hinckley also paid tribute to Jerold D. Ottley who will retire in December after 25 years of conducting the choir.
President Gordon B. Hinckley conducted, and Elder John H. Groberg offered the invocation and Elder Merrill J. Bateman offered the benediction. Both are members of the Seventy.
