cannot put your finger on where VIC
have done Intentional wrong. ! do not
say this 10 boast, but because Of what
has occurred In the past months. Al the
same time, in another light, we feel that
we are unworthy Of that responsibility
ana that honor which God has, On His
wisdom, seen iit to place upon Us. Now,
] want to say TO all Of you who are here
and / wish all Israel could hear my
words-go away from this conference
carrying with you feeling OF confidence
and love in and for the First Presidency
OF this Church, as well as the Twelve
Apostles, and II you will do so God will
bless you. II you do not do Il, ! will
not say what the consequences VIII be
! do not want to predict evil; but ! say
that God will bless you II you love the
men whom lie loves, and whom lie has
chosen out Of all Israel for these stations.
