Self Examination

SELF-EXAMINATION.

Oifend not your sense of modesty by indulging in improper thoughts. Pure thoughts are the result of a conscientious conception of virtuous reflections. Every Latter-day Saint should constitute himself a self-examining board to sit in judgment upon his daily thoughts and actions. It ought

to greatly benefit the individual by so doing. One's weak points should claim special consideration, thus forestalling the commission of acts or speech prejudicial to good manners, and the peace of society. A preparatory course of self-instruction, having for its primary object the moral and intellectual improvement of the person, should result in much good to those adopting the practice. If one can see the propriety of adopting this method, humbly suggested, what an incalculable amount of happiness could be secured! — George W. Crocheron.
