Teach your children to love truth because it is truth, and because
they are to be sanctified through the truth and fitted to stand in the
grand review that shall erelong determine whether they are qualified
to enter into higher work and become members of the royal family,
children of the heavenly King
Prepare for the Coming Conflict—Satan is marshaling his hosts;
and are we individually prepared for the fearful conflict that is just
before us? Are we preparing our children for the great crisis? Are we
preparing ourselves and our households to understand the position of
our adversaries and their modes of warfare? Are our children forming
habits of decision, that they may be firm and unyielding in every matter
of principle and duty? I pray that we all may understand the signs of
the times, and that we may so prepare ourselves and our children that
in the time of conflict God may be our refuge and defense
