The Harvest

The principles he taught, of how to see our students and thus how to teach them, will always apply in our classrooms and in the homes and families of our students and even the children of our students. Here are principles, statements of fact, from that address by President J.

The problem primarily is to keep them sound, not to convert them.

Later in the talk he made clear the principles of teaching which must necessarily flow from that description of our students. To treat them as children spiritually, as the world might treat the same age group, is therefore and likewise an anachronism. I say once more, there is scarcely a youth that comes through your seminary or institute door who has not been the conscious beneficiary of spiritual blessings, or who has not seen the efficacy of prayer, or who has not witnessed the power of faith to heal the sick, or who has not beheld spiritual outpourings of which the world at large is today ignorant.

You do not have to sneak up behind this spiritually experienced youth and whisper religion in his ears; you can come right out, face to face, and talk with him. You do not need to disguise religious truths with a cloak of worldly things; you can bring these truths to him openly, in their natural guise.

Youth may prove to be not more fearful of them than you are. As we listen to that optimistic description of youth, we might well wonder if the great growth in the Church since might change the principle that we should teach spiritual things directly because youth are hungry for them. Today, 67 percent of the Church came in as converts.

Of those converts, 60 percent are between fourteen and twenty-five years of age, the very ages where they are invited to our classrooms. Converts will increasingly be our students. The great change in our classrooms, as the kingdom goes forth to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, will only verify the prophetic vision of President Clark. More and more, our students will have chosen in recent years and even in recent weeks to make sacred covenants in the waters of baptism.

They will have received by the laying on of hands by those with authority from God the right to the companionship of the Holy Ghost. They will remember that moment. They will be hungry for the things of the Spirit. They will recognize when the truth is confirmed to them by the Spirit. They will be eager to have their testimonies deepened by feeling the fire of our testimonies of the fundamental truths of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. Just as our students will more and more be the young people President Clark described, so also will the children who will come into the families of our students be.

The last time you sat down with a child and read a scripture or taught a family home evening lesson, you saw and felt in them what President Clark described.

They were hungry for things of the Spirit. And they recognized spiritual truth, sometimes as if they knew more than you were telling them. The principles described so many years ago will be a sure guide in the years ahead, both in our classrooms and in the homes of our students and their posterity. That makes it all the more crucial that we study and then follow in faith the principles which are to guide us. Here are some of them, in language we cannot misunderstand from President Clark:. To do so would be to have as many different churches as we have seminaries—and that is chaos. Now, from that instruction, we are to teach spiritually hungry students, as directly as we can, the gospel of Jesus Christ as it is declared in the standard works and by the living prophets.

In the main, we are doing that well—very well.

And yet the greatness of our responsibility and our opportunity demands that we ask whether we could do better. Common sense and doctrine give us the answer. We can do better. As you would expect, President Brigham Young spoke about that. Can you hear his voice? Most of us have had some experience with self-improvement efforts. My experience has taught me this about how people and organizations improve: There is power in steadiness and repetition. And if we can be led by inspiration to choose the right small things to change, consistent obedience will bring great improvement.

Now, because of that I will suggest three tools which most of us use, or decide not to use, every time we teach. A small change for the better in any or all of them could bring a multiplication in the harvest, which is the desire of our hearts. The first is the devotional. The second is the curriculum. And the third is the asking and the answering of questions. Now, I need to tell a little bit about the way I would look for the small changes—the little improvements I could make. I would follow the principles taught by President Clark. He told us that our students are spiritually hungry and we are to help them be fed.

The only way they can be fed is for the Holy Spirit to confirm and expand the truths of the gospel that we teach. And the Lord has told us how to be sure that will happen. One place in scripture which makes that clear to me is in the sixth section of the Doctrine and Covenants, in the fourteenth and fifteenth verses. The Lord described a process which our students will know was true for Oliver Cowdery, will be true for them, and will be true for their children:. If it had not been so, thou wouldst not have come to the place where thou art at this time.

I take that statement as true doctrine and simple instruction. The small changes I would look for are those which would increase the likelihood that a person I was teaching would inquire of God in faith. That will surely, every time, bring enlightenment by the Spirit. And that is the feeding we seek for those we teach. That will help us find improvements we might consider in everything we do regularly as we teach.

The devotional, as an example, provides an opportunity to apply the principle. For most of us a devotional might include music, prayer, and a spiritual thought—often in that order. The hymns of Zion invite the Holy Ghost into the room. So, whenever we can, we sing. There is a casual way to do it and a careful way.

Time tracking for those who value insight.

The careful way is to think ahead to what the lesson will be for a particular day, to find the central idea which we wish the students to come to know is true, and then to ask a student to select a hymn which will help make that happen. That will not seem a small thing to the young person who is asked, when they sense that we really need their help.

Done carefully enough, our invitation may lead them to seek for help. If they pray, enlightenment will come. And then the singing of that song, even if the music is badly played and the voices a little thin, will be more than ordinary music. The same little change might be possible in the way we ask a student to pray in a devotional. We could ask a student sometime before the class if he or she would be willing to give the opening prayer. If he knows what we will be teaching that day and how much we need help, he may ask God for some help for himself. When that happens, the prayer offered in the class will have more of pleading and more of thanks.

And the student who prays and the students who hear the petition will feel enlightenment.

The Lord has also prepared a way to multiply the efforts of a student we ask to give a spiritual thought. A couple who keeps their sick son in a secluded environment find their controlled lives challenged by a young girl who moves in next door. Share this Rating Title: The Harvest 6. Use the HTML below.
