Henry D. Moyle

Our lives are so filled with schedules and deadlines, social events and noise, that silence and stillness have become extremely uncomfortable to us.

Elder Henry D. Moyle, in a nineteen fifty general conference address, said, "Without the power of the Holy Ghost, you and I would not be able to become submissive to the will of our Heavenly Father.

We would not know what his will is.

We must be as clay in the hands of the potter to permit our lives to be molded in the pattern that the Savior of mankind set for us." No one can tell you just how your life will evolve, nor how you can avoid misfortune.

Now, he did bring Stephen L. Richards in as his first counselor and demoted Reuben Clark to second counselor in the process but didn't kick him out of the First Presidency, and Richards had been in the Quorum of the Twelve I think since 1912, so he's one of the senior apostles at that time.

But then when Richards died, his replacement was Henry Moyle, who was, like, I think seventh or eighth in seniority in the Quorum of the Twelve.

And then Brown had been in the Quorum of the Twelve pretty sure for just a couple of years when he was put in the First Presidency.

Eldon Tanner went from assistant to the 12 to 12 to First Presidency in, like, three years.
