Pahvant Valley Family History Centers: August 2013

"It matters not what else we have been called to do, or what position we may occupy, or how faithful in other ways we have labored in the church; NONE are exempt from this great obligation. It is required of the apostle as well as the humblest elder. Place, distinction or long service in the cause of Zion, or elsewhere in the mission field, the Stakes of Zion, or elsewhere will not entitle one to disregard the salvation of one's dead."

"Some may feel that if they pay their tithing, attend their regular meetings and other duties, give of their substance to the poor, or perchance spend one, two, or more years preaching to the world, they are absolved from further duty. But the greatest and grandest duty of all is to labor for the dead. We may and should do all these other things, for which regard will be given, but if we neglect the weightier privilage and commandment notwithstanding all other good works, we shall find ourselves under condemnation. And why condemnation? Because the greatest responsibility in this world that God has laid upon us, is to seek after our dead."

Joseph Smith - Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith.
