“Financial and social equality of man was to be accomplished and safeguarded by a high degree of spirituality. Its success depended largely upon the actual existence of a love for God and fellowmen” (Berrett, Teachings of the Book of Mormon, 1:143).
“If we study the scriptures and find out what is in the mind of the Lord, behind the instructions that he has given us about caring for the poor, we will double our efforts” (Romney, Learning for the Eternities, 209) .
