President Gordon B. Hinckley's Challenge and Promise

President Gordon B. Hinckley said in a

worldwide leadership training meeting:

“I am convinced there is no other organization anywhere to match the Relief Society of this Church.

If they will be UNITED and speak with ONE VOICE,

Their STRENGTH will be INCALCULABLE!”

Relief Society - A Restoration of an Ancient Form

RELIEF SOCIETY

“A Restoration of an Ancient Pattern”


Although the name may be modern date,

the institution is of ANCIENT ORIGIN.

We were told by our martyred prophet

that the same organization EXISTED

in the church ANCIENTLY.”

A POWERFUL DESIRE of the HEART...

Emma and Joseph

From our "Daughters in My Kingdom"
page 12...was this quote written by Emma Hale Smith
to Joseph in 1844...

As I read it this morning...I thought...
"What a POWERFUL DESIRE of the HEART"...

"I DESIRE the SPIRIT of God to KNOW and UNDERSTAND MYSELF,
that I might be able to OVERCOME whatever of tradition or nature
that would NOT tend to my EXALTATION in the eternal worlds.
I DESIRE a FRUITFUL, ACTIVE MIND, that I may
be able to comprehend the DESIGNS of God,
when revealed through His 
servants without
DOUBTING."

(Letter to Joseph Smith, 1844, Church History Library)
