1. The single most important principle that should govern every home is to practice the Golden Rule—the Lord’s admonition that “all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them” (Matthew 7:12).

Le principe par excellence qui doit régir tout foyer est l’application de la règle d’or : la recommandation du Seigneur : « Tout ce que vous voulez que les hommes fassent pour vous, faites-le de même pour eux. » (Matthieu 7 :12).

2. Would that all men would judge of the tree by its fruit, and would acknowledge the seed and origin of the evils which press upon us, and of the dangers that are impending! We have to deal with a deceitful and crafty enemy, who, gratifying the ears of people and of princes, has ensnared them by smooth speeches and by adulation.

Aussi voyons-nous multiplier et mettre à la portée de tous les hommes ce qui peut flatter leurs passions.
