[3] discussion of the operating rules for gaining knowledge by science and revelation.
10-14 Second temple session, much smoother than the first; shopped and packed most of the afternoon. Last two lessons presented. George Cannon taught us how to beat time. Program followed, composed of entertainment numbers by the missionaries. Over long, and rather too frivolous for my taste.
10-15 Sunday morning President Richards conducted a sacrament meeting and then attended the Tabernacle broadcast. Their version of “Praise to the Lord” was terrific. Instruction was concluded with a five hour discussion-memorization period. Came out and met Valerie in the lounge; arms-length rule suspended for thirty-four hours.
Went to Assembly Hall at 5 p.m for three hour testimony meeting in which the testimony of my friend Elder Thomas stood out very strongly. For myself, I said that the Thirteen Articles of Faith can be condensed into three: First we believe in God as He is, second, in man as he may become, third we believe whether man makes it [unclear what I meant to say here].
