    The Power of the Gospel in Welfare

    President Ezra Taft Benson

    How can members in your ward or branch apply gospel principles to help the poor and needy?

    (See Conference Report, Apr. 2009, 5355; or Ensign, May 2009, 5355.)

    The Lord works from the inside out. Theworld works from the outside in. The world

    would take people out of the slums. Christ

    takes the slums out of people, and then they

    take themselves out of the slums. The world

    would mold men by changing their

    environment. Christ changes men, who then

    change their environment. The world would

    shape human behavior, but Christ can

    change human nature.
