Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 79: August 23, 1917
Will those men who go out from Utah, from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, forget their prayers? 7ill they forget God? 7ill they forget the teachings that they have received from their parents at home? Will they forget the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the covenants that they have made in the waters of baptism. And in sacred places? Or will they go out as men, in every sense - pure men, high - minded men, honest men virtuous men, men of God? That is what I am. Anxious about.
I want to see the hand of God made manifest in the acts of the men that go out from the ranks of the Church of Jesus Christ and from the state of Utah, to help to defend the principles of liberty and sound government for the human family. I want to see them so live that they can be in communion with the Lord, in their camps, and in their secret places, and that in the midst of battle they can say: Father, my life and my spirit are in thy hand!
I want to see the boys that go away from here in this cause. To go feeling just as our missionaries do when sent out into the world, carrying with them the spirit a good mother feels when she parts with her boy, on the morning of his departure for his mission. She embraces him with all the mother's love in her soul.
