“Parenthood imposes a singular responsibility. Not only must parents put good things into the minds of children, we must keep bad things out. Parental vigilance should be constant. Safeguard your children against those who seek to destroy them. How would you pass the test, parents, if your family was isolated from the Church and you had to supply all religious training? Have you become so dependent on others that you do little or nothing at home? Tell me, how much of the gospel would your children know, if all they knew is what they had been taught at home? Ponder that. I repeat, how much of the gospel would your children know if all they knew is what they had been taught at home? Remember, the Church exists to help the home. Parents, the divine charge to teach has never been changed. Do not abdicate your duty.” – A. Theodore Tuttle, October 1979
