[MUSIC PLAYING] George Albert Smith was a
figure of national and worldwide influence in the mid 1900s. He was a man known to
presidents of the United States and leaders of the world. As the head of a growing global
religion, and an emissary of peace throughout war-torn
Europe after World War II, he was internationally
respected, deserving of the honors of men. Yet a phrase from
his creed teaches-- I would avoid publicity
of high positions and discourage the flattery
of thoughtless friends. George Albert Smith truly
exemplified the precept of the New Testament
that the praise of God and service to Him
was of far more value than the praise of men.
