E. L. Schoenhals (1963): The True Church Will Always Be Small

  

The minority shall follow the true church: Luke 13:23, Matt. 7:14. This was true when Christ was here, notwithstanding all the miracles He performed. (E. L. Schoenhals, Celestial Law [Salt Lake City: Deseret News Press, 1963], 29)

 

The L. D. S. Church has about two million members, with less than half of them who could be considered active and worthy to go through the Temple. Yet this small group of active members maintains a force of more than 12,000 missionaries in the missionary field. (Ibid., 71)
