"From the beginning, God has instructed prophets to teach the covenant people to
honor the Sabbath day. God rested from His creative labors on the seventh day.
(See Moses 3:3;
Gen. 2:2-3.) This day was
blessed and sanctified as a holy day.
"The fourth commandment to Moses was to 'remember the sabbath day, to keep it
holy.' (Ex. 20:8.)
"Elder Bruce R. McConkie taught that 'Sabbath observance was a sign between
ancient Israel and their God whereby the chosen people might be known.' (Bruce
R. McConkie, "Mormon Doctrine," 2nd ed. [1966], 658; see also
Neh. 13:15-22;
Isa. 56:1-8;
Jer. 17:19-27;
Ezek. 46:1-7;
Ex. 31:12-17.)
"Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints recognize Sunday as
the Sabbath in commemoration of the fact that Christ came forth from the grave
on Sunday, and the Apostles commenced meeting thereafter on the first day of the
week. (John 20:1-6;
Luke 24:1;
Mark 16:1;
Matt. 28:1;
Acts 20:7.)" - Earl C.

"Brothers and
sisters, the Lord loves widows. I know that the leaders of the Church are
concerned about the welfare of widows. We members should care for and assist the
widows within our family, home, ward, and neighborhood. I urge you young
people—members of the Primary, youth, and young adults—to take the opportunity
to assist and draw strength from the widows in your community.
"May we be
more caring and considerate to the widows of Zion is my humble prayer." - Earl
C. Tingey, "The Widows of Zion," Ensign (CR), May 2000, p.
