Refreshment comes in ways I would never have thought of, both for others, and then, incidentally, for myself.

Now suppose that never happens. We still cannot say we have not been told. Should the Lord decide at this time to cleanse the Church- and the need for that cleansing seems to be increasing- a famine in this land of one year's duration could wipe out a large percentage of slothful members, including some ward and stake officers. Yet we cannot say we have not been warned.
Ezra Taft Benson

Ezra Taft Benson
