Second, he set forth a view of religion that was in principle free from reliance on authority. He used to be teased and tormented about his looks, but over the years that has died away. One of the most severe rebukes given by the Lord in this dispensation was uttered by the Savior to missionaries who would not fulfill their sacred obligations to bear testimony: But with some I am not well pleased, for they will not open their mouths, but they hide the talent which I have given unto them, because of the fear of man. In time it won for him a teaching post xiion the theological faculty at the University in Halle, and after that university was closed by the Napoleonic occupying forces, his reputation gave him a hand in planning for the new University of Berlin where, after its founding, he was Professor of Theology and Dean of the Faculty until his death in 1834. The Jacksons took David into their home and into their hearts. Truly religious people are never able to claim that they possess the truth as such, and in its entirety. In addition to refraining from evil, true disciples of the Master wear out their lives in the service of others.

For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. In 1999, just under 500,000 days of labor were donated to Church welfare facilities. The Church provided food, clothing, hygiene kits, school kits, and newborn kits valued at nearly one million dollars. The book that this stroke brought to completion is astonishing in at least five respects. In Hermann Patsch, Hans Dierkes, Terrence N. Tice & Wolfgang Virmond (eds. We can and should be grateful for all who serve others, whatever the honorable motivation of the giver may be, but there is a quiet and gentle joy that comes to those who give anonymously, privately, without thought of or interest in public acclaim—or even of public knowledge of their benevolence.

To drink, David simply tilted back his head and poured the liquid straight down. In serving others, they found their own better natures, and, may I venture to say, some, at least, developed a better understanding of Christ and His place in their lives. I salute them for their benevolence! That commandment, to love those who hate us, is one of the most demanding requirements of Christian discipleship. President Spencer W. Kimball pointed out that “the most vital thing we can do is to express our testimonies through service, which will, in turn, produce spiritual growth, greater commitment, and a greater capacity to keep the commandments” (TSWK, 254).

Schlegel himself, although he had become “religious” by the time the book was published, had moved in his religiousness to a preoccupation with esoteric matters. 219]. I know it is true, because I have proven it so many times. “When ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God” (Mosiah 2:17). But service to others is essential if we are to realize and retain the fullness of Christ’s Atonement in our lives. During the period from 1986 to 1999, the Church provided humanitarian assistance in more than 104 major natural and man-made disasters, including the Rwanda conflict in 1994; the Kobe, Japan, earthquake in 1995; the Bosnia/Croatia/Serbia conflict in 1994 and 1996; U.S. Midwest flooding in 1993 and 1997; crop failure in North Korea in 1996 and 1997; Hurricane Mitch in Central America in 1998; and the Turkey and Taiwan earthquakes in 1999.
