Our Divine Constitution

On Sunday I was called to be in nursery so I missed the Relief Society lesson. It was on this conference talk Our Divine Constitution by President Ezra Taft Benson.

President Benson testifies to the divine orgins of the constitution. Then gave a few suggestions to members on befriending the constitution.

• First and foremost, we must be righteous.
• Second, we must learn the principles of the Constitution in the tradition of the Founding Fathers. Have we read The Federalist papers? Are we reading the Constitution and pondering it? Are we aware of its principles? Are we abiding by these principles and teaching them to others? Could we defend the Constitution? Can we recognize when a law is constitutionally unsound? Do we know what the prophets have said about the Constitution and the threats to it?
• Third, we must become involved in civic affairs to see that we are properly represented
• Fourth, we must make our influence felt by our vote, our letters, our teaching, and our advice
