Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 70: November 26, 1908 We are living in a momentous age. The Lord is hastening His work. He is at the helm, there is no mortal man at the helm of this work. It is true the Lord uses such instruments as will be obedient to His commandments and laws to assist in accomplishing His purposes on the earth. He has chosen those who, at least, have shown a willingness and a disposition to Obey Him and keep His laws and who seek to work righteousness and carry out the purposes of the Lord. It is for the Latter-day Saints to judge the standing Of these men. They have no occasion to sound their own praise, to bear testimony Of their own works; their lives are Open books to all the Latter-day Saints and to all the world. You know these men; you understand them; you have seen their labors; you understand the desires of their hearts, for you are familiar with them. The Lord has sustained these brethren in the positions to which He has called them, and He will continue to sustain them in these positions so long as they continue to be faithful before Him. If one of them should cease to be faithful and turn away from, the right path, the consequences Of his own evil acts will fall upon him sooner or later, and the fruits Of his works and the desires of his heart will be made manifest.
