Remarks

Heber J. Grant, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

1890 October General Conference·Monday Afternoon Session·1890-10-06

briefly addressed the conference. He said in substance: I have great satisfaction in seeing so large a congregation present. I have never attended a conference at which more of the Spirit of the Lord was manifest. We have been united and the speakers have been inspired by the Spirit of truth. May I be able to contribute something of the same character as that already given for the benefit of all present. I rejoiced in the large Priesthood meeting held here last night, at which the Spirit of God was present. I sustain a testimony borne at that gathering to the effect that the man who contributes to the support of God’s work will be rewarded both temporally and spiritually. I have been gratified with the remarks that have been made about events, which some have imagined will take place in 1891. Some spend nearly the whole of their time in hunting mysteries, while neglecting important duties as they come along. The best course to pursue is to fulfil daily the duties required as they present themselves. In this way a man is rewarded as he goes along, and walks in the path that leads to salvation.
