Signs of the Times

Topic: Loyalty to Ideals

with contributions from J. L. Newland, William T. Manning, Cordell Hull, Dorothy Thompson, John F. Scott, Harry W. Davis

[Bishop William T. Manning, as quoted in the New York Times, New York]

We were all thinking ... of the life and example of George Washington, who was a member of our church. His greatest characteristic was his loyalty to his convictions, his friends, his conscience, and his God. The gift of the spirit from above ... is given to help you to be loyal to your responsibilities and obligations.

We need this spirit of loyalty as citizens, and a spirit of thankfulness for our blessings as Americans. If all our people were loyal to Jesus Christ, that loyalty would carry all other loyalties with it—loyalties to the home, to the sacred bond of matrimony, and loyalty and trustworthiness in our obligations and responsibilities. May this disturbed time in which we are living strengthen us in a great spirit of loyalty as citizens, as Christian, and as members of Christ's church.
