Levi H. Dowling

“ In all the kingdoms of the world, the men of power, they who exalt themselves, show their authority, and rule with iron rule;
36. But you must know that they who rule the sons of light are they who seek no earthly power, but give their lives in willing sacrifice for men.
37. Whoever would be great must be the minister of all. The highest seat in heaven is at the feet of him who is the lowest man of earth.
38. I had a glory with our Father-God before the worlds were made, and still I come to serve the race of men; to be the minister of men; to give my life for men. ”

“ The men who live the life and keep the faith will sit upon the throne of power.
31. Now, when the apostles heard the pleadings of the mother for her sons, and knew that James and John were seeking special favours from the Lord, they were indignant and they said,
32. We surely thought that James and John had risen above the selfish self. Who can we trust among the sons of men?
33. And Jesus called the ten apart and said to them, How hard for men to comprehend the nature of the kingdom of the soul! ”
