The passing of sacred authority via the Holy Priesthood is essential to the foundation of the Restored Church of Jesus Christ. Dr. Peterson displays a wonderful acumen for getting to the gist of what is important, and he does so in this little article in timely fashion. Without Priesthood authority, none of the ordinances we perform would have efficacy, but with Christ's permission and investiture, the Priesthood is manifest in the world today, within the walls of homes, churches and temples and oftentimes outside of walls in battlefields and mission fields. We of all people are most blessed and honored by this power made manifest from Jesus Christ to a modern prophet named Joseph Smith and passed down individually from prophet to prophet until our day.

I remember the day that record came stapled into the Magazine. We hoped it would not be damaged, and it wasn't. It was hard to hear what he, President Woodruff, said, but still it was thrilling. One used to get short use records on the back of cereal boxes, and one or two in magazines. No idea of what the future would bring, we thought the world was our oyster. Look at technology now! Meridian, thanks for posting this, thanks for the memories!

I remember hearing this amazing recording. I was too young to appreciate the importance of its contents. Thank you for educating us, again.
