those that are vacant, this union VIII
still continue with us. And there Is
also a perfect union with the First
Presidency, and should there not be?

Should there not be union In the fami

Ties thot now appear, and the disre-
spect that we find in reference to the
Priesthood, among young people, arises
from this fact, that there have been
antiquities in the home circle,a there
has been disrespect expressed in theii
presence, of the father by the mqther
or of the mother by the father. NO"
