“It is a Mormon truism that is current among us and we all accept it, that as man is God once was and as God is man may become. That does not signify that man will become God. I am sorry to say, and yet it is a truth, that not many men will become what God is, simply because they will not pay the price, because they are not willing to live up to the requirements; and still all men may, if they will, become what God is, but only those who are heirs of the celestial glory shall ever be possible candidates, to become what God is.” IfsMenMayDoeStillsPayAcceptingWillingGlorySorryCurrentsCandidatesRequirementsCelestialHeirsPay The PriceI Am SorryAm SorryTruism Author:Melvin J.

“The greatest mission of woman is to give life, earth-life, through honorable marriage, to the waiting spirits, our Father's spirit children who anxiously desire to come to dwell here in this mortal state. All the honor and glory that can come to men and women is but a dim thing whose luster shall fade in comparison to the high honor, the eternal glory, the ever-enduring happiness that shall come to the woman who fulfils the first great duty and mission that devolves upon her to become the mother of the sons and daughters of God” MenGivingFirstsChildrenStatesEarthSpiritMotherDesireFatherWaitingSonDutyHonorEternalGloryDaughterMen And WomenEndureMissionsMortalsComparisonFadesHonorableOur FatherSon And DaughterLusterDaughter Of GodEarth Life Author:Melvin J.
