Our main task is to declare the
gospel and do it effectively. We are not obligated to
answer every objection. Every man eventually is backed
up to the wall of faith, and there he must
make his stand. The Book of Mormon is to be
used "for a standard unto [all] people, which are
of the house of Israel," the Lord says, and its
words "shall hiss forth unto the ends of the earth." We, the members of the
Church, and particularly the missionaries, have to be
the "hissers," or the tellers and testifiers, of the
Book of Mormon unto the ends of the earth. The Book of Mormon is the
great standard we are to use. The Book of Mormon is the great
finder of the golden contact. It does not contain things which
are "pleasing unto the world." It is a great sieve.
