“When our leaders speak, the thinking has been done. When they propose a plan – it is God’s Plan. When they point the way, there is no other which is safe. When they give direction, it should mark the end of controversy. God works in no other way. To think otherwise, without immediate repentance, may cost one his faith, may destroy his testimony, and leave him a stranger to the kingdom of God.”

Presiding Bishopric – Editor Lee A. Palmer, Improvement Era (Salt Lake City, UT: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, June 1945), 354.
