Who is there, under the circumstances that exist around us, that is not
growing? Who is there of us that is not learning something day by day?
Who is there of us that is not gaining experience as we pass along, and
are attending to the duties of membership in the Church, and to the
duties of citizens of our state, and citizens of our great and glorious
nation? It seems to me that it would be a very sad comment upon the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and her people to suppose
for a moment that we are at a standstill, that we have ceased to grow,
ceased to improve and to advance in the scale of intelligence, and in
the faithful performance of duty in every condition in which we are
placed as a people and as members of the Church of Christ.--_Oct. C.
R.,_ 1915, p. 2.
