"Having been called of God we stand ready to administer the ordinances of the Gospel and of the house of God to the children of men; we stand ready to bear off this Gospel to the nations of the earth, this great plan of salvation devised by our Father. There has never been any other, and there never will be. Men have tinkered at it, and tried to change and pervert it; but their efforts do not change God's plan, it is like its author-the same yesterday, to-day and forever. God is the fountain of truth, righteousness and grace." (Daniel H. Wells, Journal of Discourses, Volume 16:240)
