April conference in Salt Lake City was a special spiritual feast. The June copy of the Improvement Era, containing the conference talks, arrived yesterday. While accompanying Elder Stewart downtown to the bank this afternoon, I read nearly half the talks. I saw three major themes developing: (1) A witness that the resurrection was a literal fact and that since Christ is the Savior in Him and His gospel lie all hope for solutions to problems; (2) a challenge and call to members of the Church to rededicate and recommit to the responsibilities they have taken upon themselves as Saints, as parents, as leaders; and (3) a warning against dangerous and false theories and philosophies (such as sex education or sensitivity training) all too prevalent in a mixed-up, confused world.
