INTRODUCTION
In this dispensation few men have better understood the necessity of
living every commandment of God than did Rulon Clark Allred. His
understanding and appreciation of that necessity came from a personal
awareness of the commandments of God. He also keenly understood that a
man must be called of God by proper authority to preach the gospel and to
receive or administer its ordinances. These discourses reveal those important
insights.
Throughout his life he gave numerous discourses. These talks,
however, are a reflection of the zenith of his earthly understanding and
vision. They are also a reflection of his spirit and his dedication to the
responsibility of not only teaching the restored gospel, but of also being a
living example of its principles and practices.
He loved the gospel of Jesus Christ. He loved the Lord's servants who
perpetuated it in righteousness. He not only loved the Church founded by
God under the direction of the Prophet Joseph Smith, but he sustained it in its
rights and righteousness.
His deep and abiding love and concern for all of God's children is
evident here too. He tried to practice and teach that principle of "in as much
as you have done it unto the least of these, my children, you have done it unto
me."
Above all, he loved the Lord. He sought Him and found Him. His
love was measured by how well he kept every commandment of God. And
his success in keeping His commandments is measured by his fruits.
Thousands loved him. But, more so, thousands loved and served God better
because of his teachings and example.
The wealth of scriptural and historical knowledge to be found in these
discourses is priceless. The understanding of the purposes of God, the Spirit
will testify of.
Every talk given was given without notes or a written text. He relied
upon the Spirit of God for his utterance of that which he had abundantly
stored of the food of eternal life. The Lord directed the selection of what to
feed the people.
None of the talks recorded have been changed. Deletions have been
made only in those references to personal situations that might have offended
or embarrassed someone.
As one reads these treasures of knowledge let him seek for the Spirit
of God to appreciate and understand them-by that gift they were given.
