Genealogical Society of Utah

The publication of this text, The Way to Perfection, has come about through repeated requests from our workers for a faith-promoting discussion of doctrinal principles and historical themes which justify the large place salvation for the living and the dead occupies in the life of every Latter-day Saint. After much hesitation on his part the author was persuaded, and appointed, by the Board of Directors of the Genealogical Society of Utah, to undertake such a work. The principles of the Gospel do not change. In connection with the lessons previously published, doctrines of the Church have been considered. This present text is not an attempt to give to the saints something new. The ordinances of baptism, laying on of hands, ordination, etc., are the same today as they have been through all generations since the beginning of time. Yet it is a fact, as every Latter-day Saint can say, that these principles which never change are in another sense always new. All who delight in the keeping of the commandments of the Lord are made to rejoice in every discussion of these principles. They never tire of hearing them. Yet old and familiar subjects may be dressed in new clothes; they need not always be presented in the self-same way; and it is always the application of Gospel truths in human lives which gives them their vital significance. It is hoped that the study and discussion of the principles here presented will inspire Latter-day Saints to be awake to their privileges and duties, to live more worthy lives, and to be more valiant in the service of God. This book has been prepared not only for study by genealogical workers, but for general use throughout the Church.

Seek Ye Earnestly . . . The scriptures are replete with admonition to seek earnestly, diligently, for the best gifts, to seek for knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. "No man can be saved in ignorance." "The glory of God is intelligence." President Joseph Fielding Smith has spent a lifetime pleading with the members of the Church to study, to pray, to gain an understanding of the scriptures and to develop a testimony of the divinity of the mission of Jesus Christ. He has labored tirelessly to disseminate information with a great desire that the members of the Church might become more enlightened as to the principles of the gospel. "The Lord has promised to reveal unto those who are diligently seeking him, all the mysteries of his kingdom," President Smith has said. "The fact that a person is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not insure his salvation. He has to keep himself in touch with these sacred principles and know and live them. . . . The gospel of Jesus Christ is not merely a code of laws, it is more than that. It requires a spirit of humility, of faith, and a prayerful disposition. . . . The fact remains that too many of us take our membership as a matter of course. We do not study. We do not attend to the ordinary duties the Lord requires of us, and therefore we do not have an abiding testimony of the truth." This compilation of President Smith's sermons and writings represents a companion volume to "Take Heed to Yourselves." It is felt that the two greatest messages of President Smith's life have been the necessity for repentance and the need to seek earnestly for knowledge and understanding of the saving principles of the gospel-a living testimony of the true message of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
