— LDS GENERAL CONFERENCE —

Elder David B. Haight

Quorum of the Twelve


      Members must concentrate on living the simple principles of the gospel.
      "Live the commandments. Do what is right. Be good, have good works and influence others for good."
      The prophet Helaman taught his children that their fathers had good works. Latter-day Saints should know their heritage, too, and teach their children about it.
      Wouldn't it be wonderful if the world had an understanding of just the simple 10 Commandments? Imagine what living the law not to commit adultery would do to the world today.
"The gospel of our Lord and Savior has been restored to the Earth."
      The organization of the church on April 6, 1830, took place in a humble little setting — the Peter Whitmer farmhouse — 168 years ago this week.
      "I would imagine that the night of April the sixth, 1830, the moon was shining. . . . There was evidence that there was a full moon those days. . . . The glories of the Lord poured out on that occasion." A Salt Lake astronomer confirmed historical records showing a full moon that night.
