    "The last neutralizer that the devil uses most effectively is simply this: 'Don't do anything in the fight for freedom until the Church sets up its own specific program to save the Constitution.'  This brings us right back to the scripture about the slothful servants who will not do anything until they are 'compelled in all things' (D&C 58:26).   Maybe the Lord will never set up a specific Church program for the purpose of saving the Constitution.  Perhaps if He set one up at this time it might split the Church asunder, and perhaps He does not want that to happen yet, for not all the wheat and tares are fully ripe (D&C 86:5-7)."
