1. 1857·John Taylor·Apostle
   It is because of these things that the present crusade has been set on foot against us, and no doubt it began to rage at the very time that you were humbling yourselves before God, when you commenced the reformation and were repenting of your sins and making restoration. At the time the Spirit of God began to be manifested among you, the spirit of the Devil began to rage among them against you, stirring them up to pluck you down, root you lap, and destroy you from the face of the earth.
2. 1939·Sylvester Q. Cannon·Apostle
   One of the greatest obligations resting upon the parents is that of parental responsibility. The duty of the parents to bring up their children in the faith and knowledge of the Gospel is co-equal with the duty of the Church to preach the Gospel in all the world. I desire to read to you a few words of scripture revealed by the Lord in the restoration of the Gospel in the 19th century, as contained in the 68th section of the Doctrine and Covenants :
3. 1953·Spencer W. Kimball·Apostle
   They attend their meetings faithfully. Brother McConkie met 1144 on the Navajo reservation down there a few months ago when he was visiting the mission.

   In the opening of this work, in this dispensation of time, the Lord declared one of the purposes of the restoration of the gospel to be “that every man might speak in the name of God the Lord, even the Savior of the world.” ([D&C 1:20](https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/1972/04/what-will-the-church-do-for-you-a-man?lang=eng/study/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/1?lang=eng&id=p20#p20).)
6. 1986·Neal A. Maxwell·Apostle
   To life’s great questions about identity and meaning come the Restoration’s resounding answers. Accompanying these affirming “Yes, yesses!” are the guiding rules or necessary “No, noes!” These restored truths are not mysterious, but wondrous. These truths do not represent the gossip of the galaxies, but, instead, the universe’s simple, stunning secrets—such as those God shared with Enoch, Abraham, Moses, and Joseph Smith—a few of which I have noted. Nothing could be more relevant, more resplendent, more true!
