“A number of the rare visits made by the Lord to persons upon earth have been to young men—perhaps we had better say to boys. … Nephi found the Lord while he was yet a boy, even as Joseph Smith, the boy prophet of this age, found him. These facts should make a lasting impression upon the young people of our time. Through faith, prayer, good works, and patient persistence, men may even now enjoy the personal blessings of the Lord. But few are willing to pay the price which is necessary” (Sperry, Book of Mormon Compendium, 99).
