It is particularly appropriate today to speak a little of my faith. Long before I had been told by the learned and wise of this world how hard it is to know things, I had received countless impressions, had experiences both undeniably real and intimately sacred, and had enjoyed that sweet, quiet assurance that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He paid the price for my sins and was crucified, and that He lives again, and offers forgiveness, healing, and the greatest of all gifts, eternal life, to all those who will believe and follow Him. These truths can be had by anyone who will humbly and diligently pay the price to receive them, and they will be an anchor and a guide through the difficulties as well as the joys of life.
