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.”

I AM the WAY!


"I Am the Way"

"'How can we know the way?' asked Thomas, as he sat with his fellow apostles and their Lord at the table after the supper on the memorable night of the betrayal; and Christ's 
divine answer was: 'I am the way, the truth, and the life...' (John 14:5-6). And so He is!
He is the SOURCE of our comfort, the INSPIRATION of our life, the AUTHOR of our salvation.  If we want to KNOW our relationship to God, we go to JESUS CHRIST.  If we would know the TRUTH of the immortality of the soul, we have it exemplified in the Savior's RESURRECTION.

"If we desire to learn the IDEAL LIFE to lead among our fellowmen, we can find a PERFECT EXAMPLE in the life of Jesus.  Whatsoever our noble desires, our lofty aspirations, our ideals in any phase of life, we can look to CHRIST and find PERFECTION.  So, in SEEKING a STANDARD for moral manhood,
we need only to go to the Man of Nazareth and in HIM find embodied ALL VIRTUES that go to 
MAKE THE PERFECT MAN."

(David O. McKay in CR - April 1968, pp.6-7)

"TO LEARN of CHRIST"

"To learn of CHRIST necessitates the study of the SCRIPTURES
and the TESTIMONIES of those who KNOW Him. We come
to KNOW HIM through PRAYER and the inspiration and REVELATION
that God has promised to those who KEEP HIS 
COMMANDMENTS."

(Ezra Taft Benson - CR - October 1972, p. 53)
