1. As for Me and My House

A closing thought from the first issue of the Cleverly Newsletter, September 1973. President Harold B. Lee passed away less than four months later.

And now a parting observation from Harold B. Lee's closing address in the April 1973 general conference:

"Go home now to your people, I pray you, and say as did Joshua of old: 'As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord' (Joshua 24:15). Teach your families in your family home evening, teach them to keep the commandments of God, for therein is our only safety in these days. If they will do that, the powers of the Almighty will descend upon them as the dews from heaven, and the Holy Ghost will be theirs."

That's quite a promise! And it comes from the prophet of God. I commend his counsel to you, with my hearty blessing and love.
