Sister Sarah Sherrill shared her memories from the Great Depression and World War II and Sister Richardson shared momentoes of her parent's experiences of the same time.
Discussion included the link between Temporal and Spiritual salvation and what we might do to prepare ourselves now for unexpected times ahead.
"We
are living in perilous times. The scriptures are being fulfilled, and
as it appears to me this is the particular time when, if it were
possible, the very elect would be deceived. It is remarkable how easy it
is for those who desire to advance their financial interests in the
world to find a reason for setting aside the plain teachings of the Lord
with reference to our lives. And it is strange to me how many people
fall into the habit of listening to those who say things that are
contrary to the revealed will of our Heavenly Father. …
…
This people have been advised to conserve their energies and their
means. We have been taught by those whom the Lord has raised up to
instruct us that we should live within our income, that we should not
follow the fashions of the world and expend as rapidly and even more
rapidly than we can earn the money that comes into our hands, to take
care of ourselves and our families."
