we will eventually prevail in our conflict against Satan

“The obligation that we make when we raise our hands to sustain the prophet is a most sacred one. It does not mean that we will go quietly on our way and be willing that the prophet of the Lord shall direct this work, but it means that we will stand behind him; we will pray for him; we will defend his good name, and we will strive to carry out his instructions as the Lord shall direct him to offer them to us while he remains in that position” (George Albert Smith in Conference Report, June 1919, 40).
