This is a great help in the missionary work, he said. Four radio programs are being sponsored by the mission in the Navajo language and one in English, Elder Sonne reported. He said that the Navajos are the largest,,of the , the- people tohelp themselves" and then outlined their part in the program.'

It also means that they must discuss the lesson material and how to use it With the teachers, who should be given an understanding at the outset of their work, what is expected of them. It is not enough for a presidency merely to hand a book to a class leader and leave her at her own devices. They must sit down and help to direct her work right from the begin- nine, so that the proper objee- tives of class work will be se 07." Preshlent Smith President Smith referred to "conditions among the youth of the land who are becoming rebellious and filled with the pray and thalthey havelove for each of their fellow men. "Don't leave your children to run the streets. Make provision to care for your children that they may be protected, and taught to pray and be faithful and true." "We don't want any sister to neglect her responsibilities but we don't want her to do it at the neglect of her children. See that they have guidance and protection. We are living in a wicked world and it is getting more so every day. We have many responsibilities but none of them so important as us to neglect our hothes," he declared. President Smith also referred to the responsibilities of women of the Church to earp their own salvation and exaltation, telling them that "the Same principles that save the men will save the women." He pointed out that the Gospel means just as much to the sisters as it does to the brethren. "They are lust as much concerned in it as are the brethren.- - It is just as important for our sisters to understand the plan of salvation as the men. It is just as important for them to keep the commandments of the Lord as it is for the men," President Smith said. "Our sisters are eintitled to just as much of the - inspiration of the Lord or-their lives and responsibilities as are the men. The sisters can pray just as earnestly expecting to have an answer to their prayers if they are faithful and worthy just is will the men. Women are under just as much obligation to a - society is not only to relieve the poor, but to save souls'," Elder Petersen saicL"With thiq in mind the Relief Society is to be considered one of the important agencies of the Church for teaching the worn-- ' en how- - to save their own souls, and how to build good, family life as a means toward saving the souls of their children as well." Then he said: "Good class work therefore becomes of primary importance in our work." He explained that women, coming to the classes of the organization, may be so well impresSed as to change the whole atmosphere of their homes to be in harmony with Gospel principles. "It is the responsibility- - of-- the officers to see that good class work is available to the sisters, as a means of helping them to achieve that objective," he said. - cordmandment said. to the principles of the Gospel, developing in the home the spirit and power of obedience. "Obedience to the law of the home and to the law of God should be synonymous," he declared. "Then the home becomes- the place where the souls of all the family are saved. "The work of this generation is being built upon the works of the past and will furnish the foundation upon which the next generation ran stand and advance. From our homes must come the missionaries of the Church, the quorum presidents, the heads of auxiliaries, the General Authorities of the Church." President Moyle then said, "The work of the Relief Society becomes more and more the work of saving souls.
