“Why is [a] man
called to act as president over a people?” President Snow once asked. “Is it in
order to acquire an influence and then to use that influence directly for his
own aggrandizement? No, but on the contrary, he is called to act in such a
position on the same principle as the priesthood was given to the Son of God,
that he should make sacrifices. For himself? No, but in the interests of the
people over whom he presides. . . . To become the servant of his brethren, not
their master, and to work in their interest and welfare.”
Teachings: Lorenzo
Snow, 219.
