“Watchmen are charged with the responsibility of safeguarding the people of the Lord and of keeping the doctrines of His gospel pure. Speaking for himself and others called to serve in the governing councils of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, President Spencer W. Kimball declared, ‘We continue to warn the people and plead with them, for we are watchmen upon the towers, and in our hands we have a trumpet which we must blow loudly and sound the alarm’” (Brewster, Isaiah Plain and Simple, 239).
