Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 83: May 12, 1921 At the Tuesday morning session, April 5th, the dark, glowering skies made it necessary to turn on the lights in the tabernacle, while outside it was snowing heavily. Overcoats and winter wraps hung from the balcony railing and were in evidence every where. President Grant commented on the excellent attendance, considering the adverse climatic conditions. Elder Stephen L. Richards, the first speaker, quoted Shakes peare's Sweet are the uses of adversity. Financial conditions have been unnatural and upset and many have been obliged to retrench, said he wondered if this condition has not been brought about to vindicate the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The gospel is interpreted in terms of life and living, and while the Church as such does not hold its economic mission as paramount, it does regard temporal affairs elemental in Spiritual growth. To this extent, the mission of the Church is economic. Among all people their temporal affairs are part and portion of their growth and progress. The influence of the Church in economics has had a stabilizing effect on the affairs of the community. Elder Richards gave it as his conviction that the business activities of the community have been saved from catastrophe, by the fact that the president of the Church stands at the head of some of the largest financial institutions of the region over which its membership extends. For his part, said Elder Richards, he repented of any shadow of criticism that might have entered his heart concerning this policy of the Church. He believes that the policy has been vindicated.
