| 1 | To you who are challenged by others because you believe in the law of chastity, because you believe that drugs are not the answer, because you believe in such God-given axioms as "Thou shalt not steal" and "Thou shalt not lie," or because you have a simple and basic faith in God the Father and in his Son Jesus Christ and in your own eternal worth, just remember that time is on your side. Be patient, and the same people who challenge you, if they do not change, will ultimately prove to you, by their lives, that they don't have the answers -- either for you or for themselves. | Dunn | Loren | Conference Report |
| 2 | Relevance?" I replied, "Ask my friends who tearfully watched the body of a beloved child lowered into the grave. Ask my neighbor who lost her husband in an accident. Ask the fathers and mothers of the thousands of good young men who have died in the steaming jungles of Vietnam. He -- the risen Lord Jesus Christ -- is their only comfort. There is nothing more relevant to the cold, stark fact of death than the assurance of eternal life. | Hinckley | Gordon B | Conference Report |
| 3 | Is it not a miracle in itself that in this day of doubt and disbelief young men, thousands of them, with lives to live and careers to build, spend two years in the service of the Lord, laboring constantly and even willing to fast and pray in behalf of those to whom they seek to teach a better life? I know of no experience more refreshing than to be with them and feel of their spirit. If any of you who are listening this day should have two of them come to your door, I hope that you will welcome them and hear them. They will restore your faith in youth. They will quicken your faith in the Lord. They will lead you to a joy you have never previously known. | Hinckley | Gordon B | Conference Report |
| 4 | The most vicious enemy to home life is immorality. Social workers are greatly concerned over the number of young girls between 14 and 19 who seem to have lost all sense of decency and shamelessly sacrifice themselves on the altar of lust. This corroding evil is just as demoralizing to the young man as to the young woman. Chastity, not indulgence, during the premarital years is the source of harmony and happiness in the home, and is the chief contributing factor to the health and perpetuity of the race. All the virtues that make up a beautiful character -- loyalty, dependability, confidence, trust, love of God, and fidelity to man -- are associated with this diadem in the crown of virtuous womanhood and of virile manhood. The word of the Lord to his church is "Keep yourself unspotted from the world." One of the Ten Commandments from God is "Thou shalt not commit adultery." (Exod. 20:14.) | McKay | David | Conference Report |
| 5 | Sex education belongs in the home, where parents can teach chastity in a spiritual environment as they reveal the facts of life to their children. There, in all plainness, the youngsters can be taught that procreation is part of the creative work of God and that, therefore, the act of replenishing the earth must be kept on the high plane of personal purity that God provides, free from all forms of perversion. | Peterson | Mark E | Conference Report |
| 6 | The desire for superior achievement comes from our Father in heaven. However, too many people are imbued with the spirit of "just getting by." This spirit comes from the evil one. Let us avoid the habit of "just getting by," as it will rob us of the choicest rewards. | Richards | Franklin | Conference Report |
| 7 | In searching for ways to develop a love of work, we must not overlook the matter of relaxation. Although work is absolutely essential to achievement, relaxation and proper rest are likewise necessary. The power to pace one's self is an important factor in developing a love of work. The Lord expects each of us to work out a proper balance between work and relaxation as well as the physical and spiritual aspects of life. | Richards | Franklin | Conference Report |
| 8 | A man's home is his most important consideration; not his business nor farm nor political office, not even his church or civic service. It is his family. These other things only provide the means to become a provident husband and exemplary father. The most noble achievement of God or man is the glorified family unit. "No other success," President McKay has emphasized, "can compensate for failure in the home. | Tuttle | Theodore | Conference Report |
| 9 | Has good ever come from walking the path of drug abuse? No. It leads rather to addiction, insanity, immorality, suicide, and a dissipated life. | Vandenberg | John | Conference Report |
