that her missionaries had gone into all
countries. carrying the gospel. 'Be one
to the inheritance derived from your
Countrywide willingness to submit to civil
authority and the affection for the rell-

Heavenly Father. Know yourselves to be
sanctified. not only on holy days. but every
day of the week, and in this world so
gather the sweet flowers of religion that
hereafter you may reap the fruits of
eternal life"
