Excerpt from The Instructor, Vol. 74: Official Organ of the Sunday-Schools of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, November, 1939

There has grown up a conception of the prophet as a step only in the development of religion from superstition to an era of sane religion, such as we have now in modern Christianity, where there is no revelation, vision, or even inspiration. But according to the theory of our Church, prophets are as necessary now as they have ever been in history, because only through revelation can man know how to be saved.
