"Should the Lord decide at this time to cleanse the Church—and the need for that cleansing seems to be increasing—a famine in this land of one year's duration could wipe out a large percentage of slothful members, including some ward and stake officers. Yet we cannot say we have not been warned."

- Elder Ezra Taft Benson, Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, "Not Commanded in All Things," General Conference, Apr 1965
