I charge ye Mothers and Fathers that ye teach your children all the ways of God. Teach them to fast and pray. Let their fasting be suited to the development of children. Let them understand the law of tithing and offering and let them put the laws into obedience in their own lives. Wait not until they be eight and ready to be baptized, but teach them the things of God while they are yet babes in arms. Teach them to pray and to testify before all men. Let them form no idle habits. Teach ye your children to be obedient. Command them not again and again, but so teach them that when ye say "Do this" they shall obey. Rely not upon human wisdom and learning but seek to draw knowledge from that which springs from the wells of living water. All of you do err in this. Your children render not unto you quick willing obedience, ye command again and again and they respond in their own due time. For this ye are under condemnation. If ye develop not the habit of quick willing obedience in your children, I, your God am concerned for the hope of Zion. Know ye that I will redeem Zion through your children!

What I say unto the parents, I say unto each of you, both those who are without issue and those who are grandparents. Teach ye obedience unto the children which are within this branch, and ye cannot teach that which ye do not do yourselves. Render unto me obedience and then ye will know how to teach obedience unto my children and they learn to obey and obedience becomes unto them a habit, then I your God shall command and they shall obey willingly and shall grow in grace after many developments in and through obedience. I shall then establish Zion in the generation of thy children.
