A great quote from Elder Richards
Elder Richards in an Open Letter to College Students wrote:
"What if Hebrew prophets, conversant with only a small fraction of the surface of the earth, thinking and writing in terms of their own limited geography and tribal relations did interpret Him in terms of a tribal king and so limit his personality and the laws of the universe under his control to the dominion with which they were familiar?" Stephen L. Richards, Improvement Era, 36 no. 8, (June 1933) 453

I may have just lifted it from somebody else's talk, never having seen the entire article. I don't have many articles in total from 1933.

Our modern leaders appear to be chosen because they are great administrators, not great theologians, thinkers, philosophers or scientists. Our bureaucracy is large and perhaps that is the sort of leader which we need today, but if you look at the debates within the Church at the turn of the century and its participants, much of what we rely upon today was artuiculated then, and the modern leaders do more administration than philosophizing.

the leaders of the church are most worried about the least among us.
Philosophy is the last thing in our minds. Decreases in percentange of YM going on missions--defcon 5. |
