"I
believe the short period of administering the sacrament is one of the
best opportunities we have for . . . meditation, and there should be
nothing during that sacred period to distract our attention from the
purpose of that ordinance. . . . We [must] surround this sacred
ordinance with more reverence, with perfect order, that each one who
comes to the house of God may meditate upon his goodness and silently
and prayerfully express appreciation for God's goodness. Let the
sacrament hour be one experience of the day in which the worshiper tries
at least to realize within himself that it is possible for him to
commune with his God" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: David O. McKay, p. 35-36).

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.”
