1. 1921·Orson F. Whitney·Apostle
   A Close Relationship.--I have said that the Gospel dispensations are inter-related. It need only be added that the mighty patriarchal blessing--the mightiest ever given--in which Father Adam forecast the history of the human race, taken in connection with his prospective advent into the midst of his righteous descendants, upon the precise spot where he bestowed his farewell benediction and uttered his wonderful world-covering prophecy, indicates a very close relationship between the First and the Final dispensations of the Gospel.

   Brethren, it is wonderful to be with you here this morning in this important work. I hope you made notes of what President Tanner has just said. I hope you have made notes of everything you heard President Romney say.

   No wonder Apostles and prophets have told us not to be moved away from the hope of the gospel, for hope is “an anchor of the soul” ( Heb. 6:19 ) to “make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works.” ( Ether 12:4 ; see also Col. 1:23 .)

4. 1987·Dallin H. Oaks·Apostle
   Newly called missionaries often request a father’s blessing before they depart. I have a friend who is blind. He remembers how his father blessed him that despite his physical disability he would be able to complete the mission, be successful in his calling, and develop a great love for the people. I am a witness to the fulfillment of that blessing in the life of a wonderful Latter-day Saint.

   The singing of hymns is one of the best ways to put ourselves in tune with the Spirit of the Lord. I wonder if we are making enough use of this heaven-sent resource in our meetings, in our classes, and in our homes.

6. 1998·Gordon B. Hinckley·Prophet
   But all of these and more are money consuming and not money creating. It costs a great deal to operate this Church. Its worldwide operations are financed through the consecrated tithes of faithful members. What a wonderful and glorious principle is the law of tithing. It is so simple to understand and follow. It is the Lord’s law of finance.
