"I say to you, my brethren and sisters, you cannot keep the commandments of the Lord and walk in righteousness unless you know what they are. The Lord has commanded us to search the scriptures, for the things which they contain are true and shall be fulfilled . . . search the scriptures; make yourselves familiar with that which the Lord has revealed for your salvation, the salvation of your house, and of the
world."
Elder Joseph Fielding Smith -Conference Report, October 1920, 58‐59
