Let us go on with our reasoning and see how this law which Drummond points out--how it fits into the larger scheme of things as revealed to us Latter-day Saints.
You remember some time ago in our talk on the law of eternal progress we established the truth that there always have been intelligences evolving from lower to higher life, which in the eternity of the past would inevitably lead to the perfection of Gods.

This is plainly taught in Joseph Smith's statement that God was once a man like us, perhaps on an earth like this, working out His glorious destiny.

He, then, has gone on before into higher worlds, gaining wisdom, power, and glory.

Now, there is another law of the universe that no advancing man can live to himself alone.

No man can grow by taking selfish thought to the process.
