In his first general conference address as President of the Church, [George Albert Smith] said to the Saints who had just sustained him, “I wonder if anyone else here feels as weak and humble as the man who stands before you.” He expressed similar feelings to members of his family: “I have not wanted this position. I have not felt equal to it. But it has come to me, and I will fill it to the best of my ability. I want you all to know that, whatever you are doing in the church, from [home] teaching to presiding over a stake, if you do it to the best of your ability, your position is just as important as mine.”
