The Gospel of Christ furnishes that code. Pauper or millionaire, king or serf, em ployer or employee, group in equality under its banner. The home is the foundation of civilisation; a wholesome atmosphere supports the home; the occupants create the atmosphere; and the gospel message acts as their prompter toward high ideals and goodly works. There are many homes that are torn asunder by division. Family members are in strained relations one with another, which suppress harmony and establish dissension. The Saviour realised what division and family jars meant. When the scribes accused Him of casting out devils by the prince of devils He confounded them with His remark If a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. The word of the Lord in modern revelation to certain of His servants admonished them to set in order their houses, which had become disrupted. The Lord is not pleased with internal discord in the home, and His mouthpieces on earth to-day cry loudly against it - heed them! The views of family relationships held by the Latter-day Saints are broad. To us the duration of kinship is not limited to mortality; but the knowledge that the protecting arms of family ties reach beyond the grave strengthens the tranquillity of the home on this side of the veil. If we prove successful homemakers here, we are preparing for ourselves mansions in heaven, and at the same time are getting the most out of this probation. We recommend living the Gospel as a panacea for the ills that afflict domestic abodes. What ointment is to a festering sore, what liniment is to a pulled ligament the Gospel is to strained family relations. Its precepts incite actions that will lead to complete recovery and happiness. Mormonism is definite and incisive in its claims. It speaks to the world in no uncertain tone. Its voice is virile; its activities are strong. It presents an unbroken front and is unafraid. Its attitude is not hostile, though strongly aggressive. Its methods are those of reason and persuasion, coupled with a fearless affirmation of testimony as to the surpassing importance of its message, which message it labours to convey to every nation, kindred, tongue and people - J.
