Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. - 1 Tim. 4:12
"All of us give our lives daily for what we believe is important," said Elder J. Richard Clarke of the Seventy, speaking in the April 1985 general conference. "Those with whom we associate are silently assessing us, our values and character traits. Is there anything about our daily conduct we would change if we knew someone was doing a written appraisal for publication?"As Church members, we all benefit when one of us is honorable and righteous. . . . One of our greatest needs is for true witnesses among our youth. Young people need models from their own generation. Thankfully we have a tremendous army of latter-day sons and daughters of Helaman, stripling `Saturday warriors,' who are not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Rather, they have turned this commitment to the Lord to an advantage."
