| King Benjamin's Farewell Speech -by Gary Kapp |
Mosiah 2:16 Behold, I say unto you that because I said unto you that I had spent my days in your service, I do not desire to boast, for I have only been in the service of God.
17 And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God.
18 Behold, ye have called me your king; and if I, whom ye call your king, do labor to serve you, then ought not ye to labor to serve one another?
19 And behold also, if I, whom ye call your king, who has spent his days in your service, and yet has been in the service of God, do merit any thanks from you, O how you ought to thank your heavenly King! (emphasis added)Service To Mankind is Certainly Something which Is emphasized by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as you have discovered from a good number of my blog posts. This post (40n) is one of them. (Please see Posts: 25; 39r; 39p; and 39q.)
I think you will be able to discover much more about the great amount of service that has been rendered and is still being rendered by that Church from an LDS Church News Article that I have inserted into this blog post. After all, as you can discern from the Book of Mormon scripture above, SERVICE TO THOSE IN NEED is a paramount doctrine of that Church, the church in which I attempt to devotedly serve!
From The authorized News Web site of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I have copied the following:
Humanitarian Efforts
As disciples of Jesus Christ, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints strive to follow the Savior’s admonition to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, take in the stranger, clothe the naked, and visit the sick and those in prison (see Matthew 25:35–36).
The Church sponsors humanitarian relief and development projects around the world that benefit those of other faiths. These projects include emergency relief assistance in times of disaster and programs that strengthen the self-reliance of individuals, families, and communities.
Hundreds of full-time Church volunteers with skills and experience in education, agriculture, social work, business, and medicine serve throughout the world take part in these humanitarian projects.
The Church conducts humanitarian activities worldwide. From 1985 to 2007 LDS Humanitarian Services provided more than $1.01 billion in total assistance to needy individuals in 165 countries.
Thousands of members in Central America were left reeling from a two-fisted combo of natural disasters that killed hundreds, destroyed homes by the thousands and prompted a ongoing LDS Church humanitarian response.

Earthquakes can topple homes, buckle roads and, sadly, claim lives by the hundreds of thousands. But even the strongest temblor can't, by itself, destroy testimonies, rattle hope or level a Christlike impulse to look forward to better days while serving others.

In the days following Chile's massive quake, the Chile Area presidency enlisted the words of Christ to offer comfort to members and their friends: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid"...
