in the churco schools the education of the world largely tended to the development of th the A intellect ity without the cultivation of tile the heart the latter day saints paints believed that true loyalty to tile country depended to a great extent upon true fine faith in tho creator of the country therefore their foundation was deeper than that of the as they vience it inasmuch us its they made
