"...there are some fundamental principles of this Republic which, like eternal truths, never get out of date, and which are applicable at all times to liberty-loving peoples. Such are the underlying principles of the Constitution, a document framed by patriotic, freedom-loving men, who Latter-day Saints declare were inspired by the Lord.
This date, October 6, has been set apart by churches as "Loyalty Day." It is highly fitting, therefore, as a means of making the world better, not only to urge loyalty to the Constitution and to threatened fundamentals of the United States government, but to warn the people that there is evidence in the United States of disloyalty to tried and true fundamentals in government. There are unsound economic theories; there are European "isms," which, termite like, secretly and, recently, quite openly, and defiantly, are threatening to undermine our democratic institutions.
Today, as never before, the issue is clearly defined--liberty and freedom of choice, or oppression and subjugation for the individual and for nations."
-President David O. McKayGeneral Conference, October 1940

I have always had a feeling of sacredness and awe as I learn about the founding fathers, or read the beautiful words they wrote. The Constitution is SO ABSOLUTELY inspired!!!
