"Two powers, God and Satan,
choose ye this day whom ye will serve. We, like the Savior, came not to do our
own will, but His who sent us. We should be seeking to know His will. We should
let the Church authorities interpret the will of God. The President and the
Twelve never go wrong. Follow their lead." (George F. Richards, excerpt of
a sermon delivered January 29, 1922, in The
Life of George F. Richards: President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints [Provo, Utah: J. Grant
Stevenson, 1965], 86)
