"The Prophet Joseph Smith's desire was that the Saints should become economically self-sufficient. Our Father in Heaven has given all of His children everything they have?their talents, their abilities, their material goods?and has made them stewards over these blessings."A treasured remnant of our heritage of economic self-sufficiency is the Church Welfare Services program. It has two key ingredients. The first is the principle of love and the second is that of work. The principle of love is the motivating power that moves us to give our time, our money, and services to this wonderful program."

L. Tom Perry, "Building a Community of Saints," Ensign, May 2001, 36
