D&C Section Ninety Two

Only two verses long, the revelation is a command for the brethren to receive Frederick G. Williams into the United Order. The order was a group of the brethren in the church who united all of their temporal affairs into a sharing organization to benefit the church. The revelation instructs Williams to be a "lively" member. I always like the story of President Harold B. Lee when he was talking to a group of missionaries. He instructed one of the missionaries to push over a pillar in the building they were in. The missionary responded that he didn't think that he could. When asked why not, the missionary said that weight of the ceiling on the pillar made it impossible. President Lee asked him if the ceiling were removed, would he be able to push it over then? The missionary responded that he thought he could. President Lee then said, "Now, brethren, you and I are like one of those pillars. As long as we have a weight of responsibility in this church, all hell can't push us over, but as soon as that weight is lifted off, most of us are easy marks by the powers that drag us down."
