APRIL 23–24, 1932 – SAN FRANCISCO STAKE

First session subject: Restoration of the gospel because of the apostasy, not a new religion but "by restoring the one and only gospel of Jesus Christ."

Second session subject: "B.H. Roberts continued his subject of Saturday evening. There is one gospel, one plan of God’s salvation for the children of men. That was the message of Joseph Smith and still the message of the Church today, said President Roberts. He discoursed on the works of Joseph the Prophet, using as a text the words of Christ to the Jews, 'If ye believe me not, then believe the works that I do.' He recounted the many things accomplished by the young prophet, the hallmarks of a man inspired of God, which gave powerful refutation to the charges made against him by his enemies."

Third session subject: "President Roberts continued the theme developed in the morning. He carried further his investigations of the works and words of Joseph Smith. He analyzed the 'prayer perfect,' the sacramental blessing as given in the Book of Mormon. Proof of its divine origin is found that not a word can be added or taken from it without destroying or lessening its power. This was not the work of an unlettered youth, declared the speaker, but evidence of divine inspiration. When this prayer is thoughtfully considered, it gives great weight to claims of the modern prophet."
