I always feel to urge our youth to attend meetings when strangers
preach, that they may be able to understand that which is not of God,
and learn the difference between the doctrine taught by us and others.
13:323.
Now, then, if our brethren of the Presbyterians, Methodists or any
others visit here and want to preach to you, certainly let them preach,
and have your children hear them. They will tell you to keep the
Sabbath and to love your father and mother; they will tell you to be
true, honest, industrious, to be faithful to your studies, to read the
Bible and all good books, to study the sciences, etc., which is all
good, and as far as such teaching goes just as good as it can be. I
say, parents, do not be afraid of having your children learn everything
that is worth learning. And if any of our Christian brethren want to go
into our Sabbath schools to teach our children, let them do so. They
will not teach them anything immoral in the presence of those who are
in charge of the schools. 14:196.
Whether we are poor or rich, if we neglect our prayers and our
sacrament meetings, we neglect the Spirit of the Lord, and a spirit of
darkness comes over us. 10:300.
When a man opens or closes a meeting with prayer, every man, woman, and
child in the congregation who professes to be a Saint should have no
desire or words in their hearts and mouths but what are being offered
by the man who is mouth for all the congregation. 6:42.
_The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper_--The revelations of God to
Joseph Smith instruct the Latter-day Saints to live their religion day
by day, and to meet on the first day {265} of the week to break bread,
confess their faults one to another and pray with and for each other. I
would like this tradition fastened not only upon the people generally,
but particularly upon the Bishops and other leaders of this Church.
9:369.
I say to the brethren and sisters, in the name of the Lord, it is our
duty and it is required of us, by our Father in Heaven, by the spirit
of our religion, by our covenants with God and each other, that we
observe the ordinances of the house of God, and especially on the
Sabbath day, to attend to the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. Then
attend the Ward meetings and the Quorum meetings. 15:82.
In the ordinance we here attend to in the afternoon, we show to the
Father that we remember Jesus Christ, our Elder Brother; we testify to
him that we are willing to take upon us his name. When we are doing
this, I want the minds here as well as the bodies. I want the whole man
here when you come to meeting. 8:137.
