SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Doctrine & Covenants 81:5
"Wherefore, be faithful; stand in the office which I have appointed unto you; succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees." |
QUOTE OF THE DAY Lorenzo Snow
"One of the best things a young man or a young woman can have in view, in trying to be great, is to have others great also; and not mind spending a little time to improve others. The best way to improve ourselves is to exercise ourselves in doing good to others. Keep this in mind constantly" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Lorenzo Snow, p. 261). |
