“Unless you are in
the service of your fellow being, you are not
in the service of your God. Mormon expressed this thought, which was recorded
by his son Moroni, when he said:, ‘Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have
not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth.’ I am persuaded that
only this charity, this pure love of Christ, this love plus sacrifice, which is
exemplified in the work that goes on in our temples, can save this nation and
the world, for that matter when the Lord comes. The Lord was willing to spare
Sodom and Gomorrah if Abraham could find just ten good men, which he could not
do. I presume I could not have a more important hope for you and me than that
we may be filled with this charity, this pure love of Christ, to serve our
fellow man.” – Hartman Rector, Jr.
