Reading 7 - Elder LeGrand Richards: "Over fifty years ago I heard Elder James E. Talmage tell this story. It has remained with me all these years. He told about a group of tourists or travelers in the Alps who were snowbound. The Lord sent an angel to a monk and told him about these people, asking him to go and rescue them. The answer was, 'Why?' And the minute he said 'Why,' the angel disappeared. He went to the second monk and delivered the same message, and the answer was, 'How?' And the angel disappeared. He went to the third and delivered the same message, and the monk said, 'When?' And the angel remained and delivered his message.

"It shouldn't be for us to say, when the call of the Lord comes or when we understand a command that is given to us through the prophets of God, 'How can we do it?' or 'Why does he ask us to do it?' but 'When, oh, God the Eternal Father, as thy son or daughter, wouldst thou have me do the thing that thou hast commanded?'" (CR, Oct 1964)
