Passages drawn from the sermons and published works that carry this theme forward.

1. 1856·Jedediah M. Grant·Apostle
   I hope you, as well as myself, have often thought upon the science of theology, or upon other branches of science; but notwithstanding we may reflect upon them, and think upon them till we make our heads ache, yet my experience has proved to me that an Elder of Israel cannot impress any subject on the minds of the people, unless he has the Holy Spirit.
2. 1938·Heber J. Grant·Prophet
   Once more I congratulate you on seeing that there are no accidents. I hope and pray that you will be very careful during the remainder of the day. I feel humiliated always when I hear that Utah leads the whole nation in killing and injuring people by automobile accidents in proportion to our population.
3. 1943·George Albert Smith·Apostle
   Then, right here among us, in our own homes, in the organized stakes of Zion, there are those who have had the hands of the servants of God laid upon their heads and been confirmed members of the Church, and many of them have received divine authority, and today what would they do if the Savior were to come ? What would we do ? Are we prepared for the coming of our Lord ? I hope we are preparing, because we need to be prepared.
4. 1963·Henry D. Moyle·Apostle
   First, I hope you all visioned clearly the quorum work in the Church and its relation to what Brother Lee presented. There are quorums in the Church independent, in a way, so far as spiritual work and service is concerned, of the ecclesiastical organization of the Church, and those quorums supply a spiritual need which the world seeks to obtain in secret societies. I think they make it more effective, however, than we do in the Church.
5. 1976·Delbert L. Stapley·Apostle
   Sixth, the concluding New Testament account of witnesses for our consideration is highly significant, for it furnishes hope and faith to all God’s children for the future. It deals with an important event subsequent to Christ’s resurrection and following the forty days spent with his disciples, teaching and instructing them in the things of his kingdom. “And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
6. 1979·Mark E. Petersen·Apostle
   We spoke of spring, that time of resurgence of life and hope and joy. It was on a beautiful spring day in 1820 when the Almighty shattered the seal which had closed the heavens for centuries.
