In the 1940s while serving as the executive officer of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives in Washington, D. C., I saw in a Hilton Hotel a placard depicting Uncle Sam, representing America, on his knees in humility and prayer. Beneath the placard was the inscription, 'Not beaten there by the hammer and sickle, but freely, responsibly, confidently.... We need fear nothing or no one save God.' That picture has stayed in my memory ever since America on her knees in recognition that all our blessings come from God America on her knees out of a desire to serve the God of this land by keeping his commandments America on her knees, not driven there in capitulation to some despotic government, but on her knees freely, willingly, gratefully This is the sovereign remedy to all of our problems and the preservation of our liberties.

You must not allow yourselves to become discouraged. Missionary work brings joy, optimism, and happiness. Don't give Satan an opportunity to discourage you. Here again, work is the answer. The Lord has given us a key by which we can overcome discouragement 'Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.' (Matthew 1128-30.)
