LEAVE THE CHURCH THE WAY I FOUND IT
By Elder Charles Waters
I testify to everyone of you today that the greatest anxiety that I have in the world as a faithful minister is that I may leave the church of God in principle and practice exactly as I found it. I found the church as a body that I loved. I loved the songs they sang, I loved the prayers I heard, and I loved the practice of the church, and I loved the faith of the old saints, and my greatest anxiety under heaven is to leave that church just exactly like I found it. I want to add nothing to it. I want to take nothing from it. It is a witness for the truth in the earth, and let me tell you the word of God positively prohibits any additions to it, either in faith or practice in any way. It says it is all complete.
