A thief, though rich, will continue to steal, but an honest man, though poor, will ever seek to pay his debts.

Were we more careful to obey the part of the word of wisdom that deals with the "do's" it might be easier to obey the "don'ts"

As I view it, in every family a record should be kept...that record should be the first stone, if you choose, in the family altar. It should be a book known and used in the family circle; and when the child reaches maturity and goes out to make another household, one of the first things that the young couple should take along should be the records of their families, to be extended by them as life goes on...each one of us carries, individually, the responsibility of record keeping, and we should assume it.

A thief, though rich, will continue to steal, but an honest man, though poor, will ever seek to pay his debts.

How can we give to the Lord? What shall we give to him? Every kind word to our own, every help given them, is as a gift to God, whose chief concern is the welfare of his children. Every gentle deed to our neighbor, every kindness to the poor and suffering, is a gift to the Lord, before whom all mankind are equal. Every conformity to the Lord's plan of salvation-and this is of first importance-is a direct gift to God, for thereby we fit ourselves more nearly for our divinely planned destiny.

Deceit is the mark of evil. Even if the evil messenger does not appear in person, the test is the same.

There never was a revelation without a question first.
