"The Relief Society and the Church" - Dallin H. Oaks, Apr 1992

The Relief Society and the Church

by Dallin H. Oaks

April 1992 General Conference

"One of the great functions of Relief Society is to provide sisterhood for women, just as priesthood quorums provide brotherhood for men. But all should remember that neither sisterhood nor brotherhood is an end in itself. Each is a means of individual spiritual growth and cooperative service. The ultimate and highest expression of womanhood and manhood is in the new and everlasting covenant of marriage between a man and a woman."

"Joy and Mercy" - Dallin H. Oaks, Oct 1991

Joy and Mercy

by Dallin H. Oaks

October 1991 General Conference

"Joy and misery are eternal emotions whose ultimate extent we are not likely to experience in mortality. In this life we have some mortal simulations, which we call happiness or pleasure and unhappiness or pain. In the midst of these emotions is suffering. Some suffering comes from our own sins or those of others, but much suffering is simply an inevitable part of the mortal condition, like an accidental injury."

"Honour Thy Father and Thy Mother" - Dallin H. Oaks, Apr 1991

"Honour Thy Father and Thy Mother"

by Dallin H. Oaks

April 1991 General Conference

"The commandment to honor our parents has strands that run through the entire fabric of the gospel. It is inherent in our relationship to God our Father. It embraces the divine destiny of the children of God. This commandment relates to the government of the family, which is patterned after the government of heaven."

"Witnesses of Christ" - Dallin H. Oaks, Oct 1990

Witnesses of Christ

by Dallin H. Oaks

October 1990 General Conference

"Spiritual gifts come by the power of the Holy Ghost, that all the faithful may be benefited. One of these gifts is “to know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that he was crucified for the sins of the world.” (D&C 46:13.) Those who receive that gift have the duty to testify of it. We know this because immediately after describing the gift of knowing that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Lord says: “To others it is given to believe on their words, that they also might have eternal life if they continue faithful.” (D&C 46:14; see also 3 Ne. 19:28.) Those who have the gift to know must give their witness so that those who have the gift to believe on their words can enjoy the benefit of that gift."

"World Peace" - Dallin H. Oaks, Apr 1990

World Peace

by Dallin H. Oaks

April 1990 General Conference

"The peace the gospel brings is not just the absence of war. It is the opposite of war. Gospel peace is the opposite of any conflict, armed or unarmed. It is the opposite of national or ethnic hostilities, of civil or family strife."

"The Year of Jubilee" - Old General Conference Reports

I recently found a website that has PDF files of old General Conference reports going back to 1880.  It's a pretty simple layout with the PDFs listed by year of what is available, but it works as a way to get access to older church talks.  I haven't had a chance to read very many of them yet, but wanted to post the link here.  Enjoy!
