More From David O. McKay

The constitution is not a law, but it empowers the people to make laws... the constitution tells us what shall not be a lawful tender... the legislature has ceded up to us the privilege of enacting such laws as are not inconsistent with the constitution of the united states... the different states, and even congress itself, have passed many laws diametrically contrary to the constitution of the united states.

Our loyalty is due entirely to the united states. it is due to the president only and exactly to the degree in which he efficiently serves the united states. it is our duty to support him when he serves the united states well. it is our duty to oppose him when he serves it badly. this is true about mr. wilson now and it has been true about all our presidents in the past. it is our duty at all times to tell the truth about the president and about every one else, save in the cases where to tell the truth at the moment would benefit the public enemy.
Loyalty Past Support
The sovereignty of the states is the language of the confederacy and not the language of the constitution. the latter contains the emphatic words. this constitution and the laws of the united states which shall be made in pursuance thereof and all treaties made or which shall be made under the authority of the united states, shall be the supreme law of the land and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding

Our principles were revolutionary. we began as a small, weak republic. but we survived. our example inspired others, imperfectly at times, but it inspired them nevertheless. this constitutional republic, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, prospered and grew strong. to this day, america is still the abiding alternative to tyranny. that is our purpose in the world - nothing more and nothing less.

Recent surveys of church members have shown a serious erosion in the number of families who have a year's supply of life's necessities. most members plan to do it. too few have begun... it is our sacred duty to care for our families, including our extended families.
