How can priesthood holders better follow the Savior in his sacred work?
"May I suggest three imperatives for our consideration. They apply to the deacon as well as the high priest. They are within our reach. A kind Heavenly Father will help us in our quest.
"First, learn what we should learn. Second, do what we should do. Third, be what we should be."
"By so doing, the blessings of heaven will attend. We will know that we are not alone. He who notes the sparrow's fall will, in his own way, acknowledge us."
"Now, some of you may be shy by nature or consider yourselves inadequate to respond affirmatively to a calling. Remember that this work is not yours and mine alone. It is the Lord's work, and when we are on the Lord's errand, we are entitled to the Lord's help. Remember that the Lord will shape the back to bear the burden placed upon it."
"We urge all Latter-day Saints to be prudent in their planning, to be conservative in their living and to avoid excessive or unnecessary debt. The financial affairs of the church are being managed in this manner, for we are aware that your tithing and other contributions have not come without sacrifice and are sacred funds."
Members should make their homes sanctuaries of righteousness.
