I have prayed for guidance in what I should say because I wish to raise a warning voice. In today's society, the difference between right and wrong is being obscured by loud, seductive voices calling for no restraints in human conduct. They advocate absolute freedom without regard to consequences. I state unequivocally that such behavior is the high road to personal destruction. Tonight I speak to the priesthood of this Church, and particularly to the young men of the Aaronic Priesthood, about how to become really free.
Obedience leads to true freedom.
The more we obey revealed truth, the more we become liberated. President David O. McKay spoke about his horse Dandy, who wanted complete freedom and no restraints. But Dandy resented restraint. He would not run away, he just wanted to be free. Thinking other horses felt the same, he would proceed to untie their ropes. . . .
