Inside front cover: A message from President Spencer W. Kimball. Artwork by Ted Henninger.

“The Lord through the Prophet Joseph Smith said: ‘The keys of the kingdom of God are committed unto man on the earth, and from thence shall the gospel roll forth unto the ends of the earth, as the stone which is cut out of the mountain without hands shall roll forth, until it has filled the whole earth’ (D&C 65:2).

“The stone has been cut. It is rolling forth. … The Lord, who knows all things, comprehended and designed the plan from the beginning. … This is the kingdom of God upon the earth. …

“His kingdom has been set up for this last time to help us obtain our goal, eternal life, for ourselves, for our families—both living and dead—and for all the people of the earth who will hear and accept and obey.”—President Spencer W. Kimball
