We will become mightier and more powerful in our own right in direct proportion to the service and contribution we make to strengthen the Church.

The whole process of raising a family is one of perfecting our own lives. That which we transmit consciously and unconsciously to our children in their rearing in the home and in the community must be the best within us.

No political party is justified to continue in existence unless it clearly states the principles which it advocates, the platform upon which its candidates stand, and then with integrity, when and if elected, carry out those principles and live up to that platform.

We must know what they stand for before we can favor them with our vote.
