“Latter-day Saints should be thoroughly loyal to the course
of life laid out in the Gospel plan. A milk-and-water allegiance kills; while a
passionate devotion gives life and soul to any cause and its adherents. The
troubles of the world may largely be laid at the doors of those who are neither
hot nor cold; who always follow the line of least resistance; whose timid
hearts flutter at taking sides for truth. As in the great Council in the
heavens, so in the Church of Christ on earth, there can be no neutrality. We
are, or we are not, on the side of the Lord. An unrelenting faith, contemptuous
of all compromise, will lead the Church and every member of it, to triumph and
the achievement of our high destiny” (Elder
John A. Widtsoe, CR., April 1941, p.117).
