PART 1

I like to thank the choir for all of us staying in the ball. That's a great. Song with a great message. Clark was talking to you about being six years old in the Arald ward I started thinking. You must have been one of those little ones that brought great joy. To the nursery later. My dear brothers and sisters. Thank you for your extraordinary efforts to bless the lives of our young members of the church. I recently reviewed the new book by study. And also by faith one hundred years. Of seminaries and institutes of religion. It's a remarkable story. As I browse through it I know that the roles of my great grandfather Joseph S. myth and my grandfather Melva J. Ballard. Had in the creation. And the expansion of church education. The day I am serving where they once served. Because of my own association with you since nine hundred eighty five I've had the privilege of serving for fourteen years on the Board of Education. Seven years of which I was on the executive committee. And almost four of those years I served as chair. During my time on the board I developed great appreciation for the Church Educational System. Tonight. I speak for all of the parents grandparents. And even great grandparents in the church. When I thank you teachers administrators and your families. For your faithful service.

We may teach things which are not entirely in harmony with the basic doctrines of this the Restored Church of Jesus Christ. We had better be more alert. We must be. Watchman. On the tower. Close quote. As church education moves forward in the next twenty first century. Each of you needs to consider any changes. You should make. In the way you are prepared teach. How you teach. And what you teach. If you are to build unwavering faith in the lives of our precious she is. Gone are the days when a student asks an honest question. And a teacher responded. Don't worry about it. Gone are the days when a student raised a sincere concern. And a teacher bore his or her testimony as a response. Intended to avoid the issue.
