"I appeal to you to reflect, and to resolve, in the words of Moroni…that so long as there is a band of Christians left in the world, they will gird on their armor, the armor of righteousness, that the word of the Lord may be advocated in every nation, and if necessary the arm of every Christian be steeled to fight for the perpetuity of these eternal truths upon which the salvation of the world depends today. God give victory to the armies which are fighting in defense of these principles. May he give strength to the latter-day Saints to properly perform their part in this great struggle, and above all may he give power to spread these truths among all nations, until the world shall be converted, God’s kingdom come, and his will be done upon earth, as it is in heaven.’ (Conference Report, Oct. 1918, pp. 52-3)
