The President Speaks

Paraphrased by President S. Dilworth Young of the First Council of the Seventy

These three then,

No part left out,

None removed,

Measure the true believer:

1. That Jesus Christ is the

Son of God.

Literally!

That he lives,

Was resurrected,

Exalted.

2. To Joseph Smith he spoke

In latter days.

This prophet, hearing and

Believing,

And obeying,

Organized the Church of Christ

On earth.

3. That Joseph truly gave

To the succeeding Prophet

All the keys!

Authorities!

Powers!

And so on until now

The living prophet

Stands,

All heavenly power his

To speak for Christ.

Anyone believing less than this

Is no believer.
