And, in a long conversation with the authorities, I was told that it would be incumbent on us of the younger generation to see that all the Church's covenants to the nation should be scrupulously observed. I accepted my part of the charge with a light heart, and late in November, 1895, I took train for Washington for convening of Congress.
The English officials employed under the government of India belong to what is known as "The Covenanted Civil Service" the term "covenanted" having been inherited from the East India Company, which required its employes to enter into covenants stipulating that they would serve a term of years under certain conditions, including retirement upon half pay when aged, and pensions for their families after their death.
If all other covenants could be forgotten and their proof obliterated, this should remain as Utah's pledge of honor sacred for the sake of the Mormon mothers, holy in the name of the uplifted child. The persecutions that our people had borne had schooled them to co-operation. They were ready, helping one another, to advance together to a common prosperity.
If you once admit that a man for an entertainment shall take sixteen thousand pounds, there never will be any bribe, any corruption, that may not be justified: the corrupt man has nothing to do but to make a visit, and then that very moment he may receive any sum under the name of this entertainment; that moment his covenants are annulled, his bonds and obligations destroyed, the act of Parliament repealed, and it is no longer bribery, it is no longer corruption, it is no longer peculation; it is nothing but thanks for obliging inquiries, and a compliment according to the mode of the country, by which he makes his fortune.

In almost every instance can you not justly ascribe the boy's waywardness to an unnatural companionship on your part or to no companionship at all? "Training the Child in the Way He Should Go" Quote from the Doctrine and Covenants a passage wherein parents are admonished as to their duty in teaching the Gospel to their children. Give three first steps in religious training in children.
He resumed the covenants with the English made by his father, and observed them faithfully for a period of twelve years. But it had become painfully apparent to Massasoit before his death, that the spreading colonies would soon deprive his people of their land and nationality, and that the Indians must become vassals of the pale race.
Next, we bear testimony against persons being invested with royal power and authority in thir covenanted lands, without a declaration of their hearty complyance with, and approbation of the National and Solemn League and Covenant and engadgment to prosecute the ends thereof, by consenting to and ratifying all acts and laws made in defence of these Covenants, agreeable to the Word of God, and laudable acts and practise of this kirk and kingdom in our best times.
