Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 90: December 13, 1928
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. - Matt. 19 6. A man cannot grow to the full measure of a man without a woman; and conversely, a woman cannot grow to the full measure of a woman without a man. They were created together and God intended them to be together in wedlock. If men and women are to enter into a fulness of joy, it must needs be that the family relationship should continue throughout eternity. That it will so continue in the Church and kingdom of God is the firm belief of the Latter-day Saints. To be born into the world in the first place, and then to be born again - born into the kingdom of God - and finally to enter into the eternity of the marriage covenant - these three conditions explain with clearness the very purpose of life. Surely, brethren and sisters, life is worth living. I testify to you most earnestly that I do know that the work in which we are engaged is the work of God, and that this is the Church of Jesus Christ; It is so denominated. It is called the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, to distinguish it from His Church in the meridian of time. I know that Christ was and is the Saviour of the world, that Joseph Smith was a prophet Of God, and the instrument in the hands of God in founding this work by organizing the Church as He did in 1830. I rejoice in this knowledge. To me it is a glorious testimony, and I am determined, if possible, to hold on to it all the days of my life.
