_"When the Twelve or any other witnesses stand before the
congregations of the earth, and preach by the power and
demonstration of the Spirit of God, and the people are astonished
and confounded at the doctrine and say: 'That man has preached a
powerful discourse, a great sermon,' then let that man, or those
men, take care that they are humble and ascribe the praise and
glory to God and the Lamb; for it is by the power of the Holy
Priesthood and Holy Ghost that they thus speak. What art thou,
O man, but dust? and from whom dost thou receive thy power and
blessings but from God?"_
--_Joseph Smith, The Prophet_.
