Ward Teachers Message, Deseret News, Church Section p. 5, May 26, 1945
Also included in the Improvement Era, June 1945 (which was the official church magazine before the Ensign)"
"Heber C. Kimball, First Councilor to Brigham Young, exhorted the Mormon people to "... learn to do as you are told, ... if you are told by your leader to do a thing, do it, none of your business whether it is right or wrong" (Journal of Discourses, vol. 6, p.32)."
I have the complete JOD at my disposal so I checked to make sure the Kimball quote is in context.

When it comes to commandments from the God . . .well YES!!!! I know that our prophets are the mouthpiece of God. Its a faith issue.
