We will seek first to live the Gospel ourselves and then be ready to go out and teach it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>We will seek to restrain our conversation avoiding light chatter idle gossip and above all, we will refrain from criticizing our associates the chosen authorities of this Church from the least to the greatest.<\/strong> We will sustain our civic authorities while such men are honest and doing their duty to the full extent. Our loyalty is engaged not only to support our Church officials but our city, state, and national representatives. We seek to prove our claim to the title of Latter-day Saint by our devotion to these principles of loyalty and righteousness. We shall cultivate the spirit of broad-mindedness setting aside our own personal desires and ambitions that we may the more fully enter into the true spirit of this great charitable organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>We will clothe ourselves modestly<\/strong> and in a way that shall merit approval from our\u00a0brethren, ourselves, and the angels of God moreover we shall teach this principle of\u00a0modesty to our children and our grandchildren after us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>We again commit ourselves to the observance of the Word of Wisdom.<\/strong> The things that are forbidden in that Revelation shall find no place in our homes nor on our\u00a0tables. Nor shall they be offered in our public gatherings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">These are the principles for which this Society has stood for nearly seventy years\u00a0but we give them public expression in this manner in order to emphasize the teachings of President Joseph F. Smith and we call upon all members of this organization to join with us in a renewal of effort to the more strict observance of these and other principles of the Gospel until we shall more nearly approach the perfect conditions expressed by our beloved President when he said &#8220;The sisters must go into the homes of the people setting such an example as an angel might if one came to them.
