In the Great Council then held, of which a dim and distant picture only has been left, the great question was with respect to man’s free agency ... Lucifer proposed that, in spite of man’s will, desires and individuality, man should be supplied with the necessary knowledge of earth conditions. In short, without any effort of their own all men should be forced into salvation … Yet, the spiritual origin of man, and the doctrine that he can advance only by self-effort, make it unthinkable that he should allow himself to be, as it were, blindfolded and directed under compulsion by some greater power.
