"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord.

"For he will give unto the faithful line upon line, precept upon precept; and I will try you and prove you herewith." (D. & C. 98:12)

"If anything should have been suggested by us, or any names mentioned, except by commandment, or thus saith the Lord, we do not consider it binding." (Joseph Smith, D.H.C., 3:295)
