1. 1853·Orson Pratt·Apostle
   All these publications should be in the houses of all the saints, and should be diligently read, that they may be well instructed in all the great princi- ples of eternal salvation, that through their faithfulness to the same they may enter into the fulness of celestial glory. With the most anxious desire for your welfare, I subscribe myself your humble servant and brother in the bonds of the gospel Covenant.
2. 1911·Charles W. Penrose·Apostle
   We have some selections, too, to be rendered by the Farmers ward choir, which has become somewhat famous for its good music. And I pray that the blessing of the Lord will be upon us, and that we shall have a time of rejoicing and instruction.
3. 1919·Joseph F. Smith·Prophet
   The principles here set forth are of more importance than many parents have heretofore attached to them, and the unfortunate position today in the homes of many of the elders of Israel is directly traceable to a want of appreciation of their truthfulness.--_Juvenile Instructor,_ Vol. 37, p. 148, March 1, 1902.
4. 1933·Joseph Fielding Smith·Apostle
   We have a wonderful advantage over the world in this, that we have the right and privilege of receiving instruction through inspiration and revelation. For one hundred years the Lord has spoken unto this people, giving us line upon line, precept upon precept, and one example following another, counsel, advice and knowledge in abundance concerning the things pertaining to our salvation and the kingdom of God.
5. 1962·Harold B. Lee·Apostle
   At the conferences during the last half of the year, attended by General Authorities, the priesthood correlation or the enlargement of ward teaching as Elder Romney has explained it and genealogical and temple work will be stressed. It is conceivable that a program of training and instruction in genealogical work might be considered through the whole of Saturday, just as the program of the auxiliaries will be developed, if they so desire. It is also likely that representatives of these two phases of vital church programs may be assigned to accompany the visiting General Authority.
6. 1965·Marion G. Romney·Apostle
   Father . . ." declare of Jesus, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Then by way of instruction that such an experience did not of itself make one's calling and election sure, he added, "We have also a more sure word of prophecy; . . ." (Ibid., 1:11, 17, 19.)
