Spiritual Influence

"Spiritual Influence is the product of disposition and living.  No one ever acquires it who does not want it and live for it.   it is in reality the Spirit of God manifest through man.  We often call it testimony because it is characterized by a deep and abiding conviction of the existence of God and the truth of his gospel.  It is the expression of perfect faith and a sincere love for God's children.  If our young people could but know of its worth, I am sure they would strive for it." President Stephen L. Richards, CR, Oct. 1943
