God has enriched the world in these last days proportionately with the increase of ungodliness, if his people will only lay hold of his priceless gift and bind up their every interest with Him. There should be no cherished idols, and we need not dread what will come, but commit the keeping of our souls to God, as unto our faithful Creator. He will keep that which is committed to his trust.—Letter 74a, 1897. (3SM 339.2) MC VC
