“Depriving Them of That Which Was Most Dear and Precious Above All Things”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

The lack of chastity, fidelity, and virtue-fast becoming great, worldwide sins which need to be repented of-causes rivers of tears to flow, breaks numerous homes, deprives and frustrates armies of innocent children. Loss of virtue, as you know, has toppled many nations and civilizations. Moral decadence is a villain, and his forehead is branded with the words dishonesty, bribery, irreverence, selfishness, immorality, debauchery, and all forms of sexual deviation.“”
