1. 1856·Parley P. Pratt·Apostle
   Well, do they not do so? Do not the old Prophets and Apostles help us? Have we not their aid and their influence in our favor? Zenos and many other Prophets are helping us. Lehi and all the Prophets understood the principle of union and concentration that would be necessary in the last days. And Nephi in bringing up this prophesy which was uttered by the Prophet Zenos and putting it in his book, shows that he considered it of importance to the people of God, and it is written there that we might see and understand how it was that the great work of the last days was to be fulfilled.
2. 1860·Wilford Woodruff·Apostle

5. 1959·Joseph Fielding Smith·Apostle
   We are commanded also to bring up our children in light and truth, to teach them the fundamental principles of the gospel, so that when they grow older they will understand, and have a knowledge of the gospel, a testimony of its truth, and be prepared to resist the persuasions and doctrines and teachings of those who would destroy that belief.
6. 1968·Boyd K. Packer·Apostle
   "Oh yes!" he said. "Generously paid — in blessings, not money. It seems that the principle of tithing requires that we pay for the privilege."
