I
feel certain that if, in our homes, parents will read from the Book
of Mormon prayerfully and regularly, both by themselves and with their
children, the spirit of that great book will come to permeate our homes
and all who dwell therein. The spirit of reverence will increase, mutual
respect and consideration for each other will grow. The spirit of contention
will depart. Parents will counsel their children in greater love and
wisdom. Children will be more responsive and submissive to that counsel.
Righteousness will increase. Faith, hope, and charity--the pure love
of Christ--will abound in our homes and lives, bringing in their wake,
peace, joy, and happiness.
