55 minute sermon by Dr. Ray Zinser on the Relevance of the Gospel. It was given at the Gudgell Park congregation on Sunday morning April 7, 1967. Brother Zinser states, "And the call to Zion is now and it is before us and it is possible. But it is not possible if 1 out of 40 has read the scriptures and it is not possible when we're spending 3 hours a day in personal grooming; it is not possible when TV possess us; it is not possible when jealousy, and greed and envy possess us! We should be possessed by the love of the Spirit of our Heavenly Father!...This thing called Zion was not merely an economic experiment on the western frontier as some would want us to believe; the call of Zion was from the foundation of the earth, that there might be gathered together somewhere on the face of the world a group of people so righteous and so obedient that each person has equal opportunity to fulfill his probationary state on earth. What is holding us back?"
