SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Doctrine & Covenants 68:25-28
"And again, inasmuch as parents have children in Zion, or in any of her stakes which are organized, that teach them not to understand the doctrine of repentance, faith in Christ the Son of the living God, and of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of the hands, when eight years old, the sin be upon the heads of the parents. For this shall be a law unto the inhabitants of Zion, or in any of her stakes which are organized. . . . And they shall also teach their children to pray, and to walk uprightly before the Lord."

QUOTE OF THE DAY George Albert Smith
"One of the greatest and richest of all your blessings will be that which comes if you teach as you should, and train as you should these choice spirits that our Heavenly Father is sending to the world in this latter day. ... Do not leave the training of your children to the public schools. Do not leave their training to the Primary, to the Sunday School, to the [Church's youth organizations]. They will help you and make a fine contribution but remember what God himself has said . . . [see D&C 68:25-28].
"This is not a threat, my brethren and sisters, that is the kind and loving advice of our Heavenly Father who knows all things and understands and realizes what it means when children are allowed to grow up without this training" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: George Albert Smith, p. 235-236).

The vote was unanimous. This is the only time two brothers have served in the First Presidency together.
