19 truths and 1 lie


George Q. Cannon

I say to you that Satan would tell you nineteen


truths and would perform nineteen miracles to get


you to accept one untruth and to take a wrong step.


That is the kind of power he exercises. Do not be


deceived, my brethren and sisters. Try the spirits, and


see whether they are of God or not. Cling to the


authority of the Priesthood, which God sent His


messengers to bestow upon man. If you do so, I will


assure you, as a servant of God, you will be led back


into the presence of God and the Lamb.
