Righteous
Man Never Taken Before his Time
President Joseph Fielding Smith
No
righteous man is ever taken before his time. In the case of the faithful
Saints, they are simply transferred to other fields of labor. The Lord's
work goes on in this life, in the world of spirits, and in the kingdoms
of glory where men go after their resurrection.
(President Joseph Fielding Smith, at the funeral services of Elder Richard
L. Evans, Ensign, Dec. 1971)
