    3. I found the quote Megan shared in a May 1980 Ensign article by Elder A. Theodore Tuttle as well. Also a quote that caused me to smile that I will share here that is a quote by the Prophet Joseph Smith. (It follows his well known quote regarding the Saints who neglect it in behalf of their deceased relatives, do it at the peril of their own salvation): Yet, in his anxiety the Prophet once observed, "but there has been a great difficulty in getting anything into the heads of this generation. It has been like splitting hemlock knots with a corndodger for a wedge, and a pumpkin for a beetle. Even the Saints are slow to understand" (Teachings, p. 331). I really do not know about hemlock knots, corndodgers, and the pumpkin for a beetle but I can imagine it. Nancy Scott
