Faith Needed
—————————————————

“Oh, how much is faith needed in each of our lives–faith in ourselves, faith in our associates, and faith in the living God.

“Those pioneers who broke the sunbaked soil of the Mountain West valleys came for one reason only–‘to find,’ as Brigham Young is reported to have said, ‘a place where the devil can’t come and dig us out.’ They found it, and against almost overwhelming adversities they subdued it. They cultivated and beautified it for themselves. And with inspired vision they planned and built a foundation that blesses members throughout the world today.”
