A Great Message From Priesthood

We ought to understand—and I presume that we do generally—that the work which
we have come into this life to perform cannot be done to the glory of God or to the
satisfaction of ourselves merely by our own natural intelligence. We are dependent upon
the Spirit of the Lord to aid us and to manifest to us from time to time what is necessary
for us to accomplish under the peculiar circumstances that may surround us.12

It would be simply foolish indeed to expect the Latter-day Saints in these days to comply
with the celestial law, with the law that proceeds from God, and with his designs to
elevate the people into his presence, except they were sustained by a supernatural
[heavenly] power. The gospel promises this. It promises the gift of the Holy Ghost,
which is divine in its character, and which is not enjoyed by any other class of people,
and which we are told by the Saviour, should lead into all truth, and inspire those who
possessed it, and give them a knowledge of Jesus, a knowledge of the Father, and of
things pertaining to the celestial world; that it should inspire those who possessed it with
a knowledge of things to come, and things that were past; and inspire them to an extent
that they should enjoy supernatural gifts—the gift of tongues and prophecy, to lay hands
upon the sick, by which they should be healed.

We should so live that we shall know that our course of life is acceptable to God. We
should understand the voice and whisperings of the Holy Spirit. In the day when the sky
is not obscured by clouds, we discover surrounding objects, their beauty and purpose. So
are we dependent on the Spirit of God for light upon the principles of truth and salvation.
No professing Latter-day Saint can enjoy any great degree of happiness unless he thus
lives, and thus places himself under divine guidance.14

When we live humbly, the Holy Ghost helps us in our onward path.

Make up your minds to live humbly and in such a way that you will always have the
Spirit of the Lord to be your friend, to make such suggestions to you from time to time as
shall be needed under the peculiar circumstances in which you may be placed. …
