I pray for the blessings of our Heavenly Father. ¶

President J. Reuben Clark, on his eighty-second birthday, said these words: "This is a great world for each youth, but he must conquer it for himself by work and right living." ¶

President Stephen L Richards, at the dedication of a ward chapel in Cache Stake stated: "We are engaged in building the kingdom here on earth. That is our assignment. Men are not endowed with the same talents, but everyone can make a contribution in his way." ¶

President David O. McKay said, at the dedication of a chapel in the Box Elder Stake: "Three virtues contribute to the spirit of man: first, control of the passions; second, reverence; a great man is reverent in his attitude toward God and his Son, Jesus Christ; third, service to his fellow men." ¶

Out of our welfare program has come: "They are putting a roof on the house of a sick brother. Men and boys are harvesting the widow's potato crop." ¶

Lucy B. Young, one of President Brigham Young's wives, said one day in Germany to me, "I went up the hall in the Lion House. President Young had just crossed the road on South Temple and hurried into his office. With the curiosity of a good woman, I walked up to the end of the hall and listened at the door. I heard President Brigham Young say: 'Down on your knees, Brigham! Down on your knees!' " He had had some difficulty with the men across the street. In a few moments he opened the door calmly, with perfect control, and went about his work. ¶

May God school our feelings, give us a desire to do the right with such fine determination and faith, I humbly pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. ¶
