QUOTE OF THE DAY John Taylor
"The great principles of truth are so varied and comprehensive. . . . They reach back into the past, exist in the present, and stretch forward into the future. In the gospel of Jesus Christ is embodied all truth, so far as the salvation of the human family is concerned, and hence it is spoken of in the scriptures as being the everlasting gospel" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: John Taylor, p. 14). |
