"...If Ye Are Not One, Ye Are Not Mine"

President J. Reuben Clark, Jr.

First Counselor in the First Presidency

J. Reuben Clark, Jr., Conference Report, October 1945, p. 30

There is time only for a word.

Today I have, by my uplifted hand, witnessed to President Smith, to you, and to the Lord, that I will sustain him as prophet, seer, and revelator, and President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Each of you has made a like covenant. The Lord has said, "... if ye are not one ye are not mine"  D&C 38:27 God give to each and every one of us the strength and the power to be loyal, to give up faultfinding, to give up trying to find new ways, to obey the commandments of the Lord—to obey those whom you have yourselves sustained to lead you, for without unity in leadership there cannot be progress and this Church cannot be built up. God give to all of us the power to do this, I humbly pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
