The Singing Won’t be the Same

It looks like the men and boys of the priesthood will no longer gather in bodies of a few or several dozen thoughout the land to listen to their leaders cheer and admonish them from Salt Lake City. (link)

A great many still will. This will be a convenience for many who have to travel, but something will be lost. The singing at our stake priesthood conference on Sunday was mighty.

Does this mean the feminists are finally getting invited to Priesthood meeting?

My hope for my ward is that the post-session Culver’s tradition will continue to induce men and young men to attend the broadcast at the chapel.

“This is not the final solution.”

Hmm…”final solution”…where have I heard that phrase before?

Ah, yes:

When the civilization you belong to is fundamentally opposed to another civilization in close proximity, the only solution that can be considered “final” is the annihilation of one or the other.

“I remember when I was a deacon, we had no cars, no trucks. We had wagons and buggies—we usually had a democrat. When we went to priesthood meeting, we had to travel about eight miles, and we never missed the general stake priesthood meeting which was held once a month. My father used to try to make those meetings pay both ways; for instance, he would have a team and wagon full of wheat, and I would have a team and wagon full of wheat following him for about eight miles, which would take us just a little better than two hours to get to our priesthood meeting. And we would go early enough so that we could pick up a load of coal to bring back after priesthood meeting. But we never missed priesthood meeting.”—N. Eldon Tanner, Conference Report, April 1964
