“Remember that God, our heavenly Father, was perhaps once a child, and mortal like we ourselves, and rose step by step in the scale of progress, in the school of advancement; has moved forward and overcome, until He has arrived at the point where He now is.”Orson Hyde, October 6, 1853 · The Man to Lead God's People—Overcoming—A Pillar in the Temple of God—Angels' Visits—the Earth · JD 1:121-130
