When I had finished my Record stories up to and including August 11th, I appointed half of my time to working on a big story I was trying to write; and the other half of my time to the JOURNAL OF DISCOURSES from which Gladys and I had been reading every day for two years, and we had all but finished reading the last volumes. We were making big plans for the next books we would read. She was taking the initiative in this movement and reading the rather small print to save my own eyes. of the GOVERNOR CALVIN RAMPTON (left) walks to mike following introduction by Bob Smith, outgoing Commander of Utah State Search and Rescue Convention.

Lyman A The most gallant purpose of eternal intelligence, is its entrance as a TrSft, helpless infant into the perils of this mortal world. This is its most heroic act of the eternal ages. It comes here to transform temporal adversity into enduring values. Intelligence gravitates intuitively to difficult zones--t- o earth with its ageless conflict between light and darkness earth is so real, so tangible, unlike anything ever known to spirits before. it offers the possibility of all that is glorious in heaven, yet along with it, an unwitting pathway to the depths where it were better never to have been born. The normal status of the is maturity, the faculty to discern, to judge; the spirit freedom to choose, to avail of reward, to profit by punishment; they who hazard nothing are lost; they wander in vain across a hopeless eternity. The wisest venture of my last ten thousand years, was when I came with mv feeble little body into the dash and danger of this terrestrial world. And now near the end of 93 years, with the door of exit opening before me, I am impelled to declare triumphantly, earth compensates for all its hazards, life is worth living, they who choose and pursue eternal purpose, will not fail.
