"The Lord...will try us until He knows what He can do with us. He tried His Son Jesus. Thousands of years before He came upon the Earth the Father had watched His course and knew that He could depend upon Him when the salvation of worlds should be at stake... He will... continue to try us, in order that He may place us in the highest positions in life and put upon us the most sacred responsibilities." (Lorenzo Snow, Millennial Star, 24 Aug 1899, 532)
