"There are many benevolent groups of women who do great good. There are many who have overpowering feelings of sympathy for the unfortunate, the sick, and the needy. But [the Relief Society] is unique and has been from its start."In the foundation they created, those great sisters set 'charity never faileth' (1 Corinthians 13:8; Moroni 7:46) at the center. It served them at the beginning, it served them in the great period that followed, it serves them now in a new time, and it will serve the Relief Society in all the periods ahead."
Henry B. Eyring, "The Enduring Legacy of Relief Society," Ensign, Nov. 2009, 121
