“And the Priests Were Not to Depend Upon the People for Their Support”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

It has ever been the practice for the great generality of those called to labor in the Lord’s vineyard to be required also to earn their daily bread by temporal labor. This necessary feature of mortality ought not be viewed as a spiritual disadvantage. In fact, many of life’s greatest spiritual lessons derive from life’s challenges and vicissitudes.
