President of the Primary Association ¶

I am happy today to be able to bear my testimony. I was not born in the Church. My parents were converted many years ago. When I was a young girl a prediction was made on my head and blessings were given to me. When the statement was made in this conference that it is a good thing to have and read your patriarchal blessings, I could say, Amen to that, because blessings which have been pronounced upon my head have been literally fulfilled. The prediction given in my youth said I should come to be known in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and that my name would be respected. I realize that if my name is respected I must live in such a way as to earn that respect. I have tried to do my duty as it has been presented to me by the General Authorities of the Church and by my knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ. ¶

It is a very great responsibility, in my estimation, to raise your voice and give service in behalf of little children. Had I known, in the early days of my life what would be the greatest pleasure to me I could not have chosen a vocation more suited to the happiness and contentment of my life than the privilege of trying to help boys and girls to understand the gospel of Jesus Christ. ¶

My testimony to you, my brethren and sisters, is that God loves us and that he is willing to bless us. I know this in and of myself, and I ascribe my greatest happiness to my membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. ¶

That we may all enjoy this supreme blessing, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. ¶

The congregation then arose and sang the first two verses of the hymn, "The Spirit of God Like a Fire is Burning." ¶
