CLOSING THOUGHTS ¶

I rejoice in the very splendid testimonies that we have heard during this conference, and in the advancement of the work of the Lord. I rejoice, as I look into the faces of this body of men who are here before me, the presidencies of stakes, the bishops of wards, the men who have dedicated their lives to God, all that they have, for the advancement of his kingdom ; men who are seeking first the Kingdom of God. I rejoice as I look at these sisters, on my left, who are as devoted as mortals can be, for the advancement of this work. When I think of our auxiliary organizations and the integrity and devotion of the men and women who preside over them, my heart goes out in gratitude and thanksgiving to God for such men and such women. ¶

BLESSINGS UPON THE PEOPLE ¶

I pray God's choicest blessings to attend each and all of you, that every blessing which your hearts can desire may be yours. ¶

I pray for all Zion, for God's people in every part of the world, at home and abroad, for every soul that is laboring for the salvation of the souls of men and women. I beseech God to give to each and all of us who have partaken of the inspiration of this conference his Spirit, that we may be representatives of him, to labor particularly among the youth of Zion, that they may not get into that broad way that leads to destruction, but may the Lord help you and me and every soul having a testimony of the divinity of the work in which we are engaged to so order our lives that we can bring the wayward back into that straight and narrow path that will lead them back into the presence of God and our Redeemer. I thank the Lord for the inspiration of his Spirit during this conference, and I leave my blessing upon all who are here assembled, all who are listening in, and upon the honest the world over. May God help the Saints to be in very deed a shining light to the world, is my prayer, and I ask it in the name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, Amen. ¶
