LESSON:

CONCLUSION:

Elder Marvin J. Ashton has given us a guide by which we can determine whether something is honest. Simply ask yourself: “ ‘Is it right? Is it true?’ not ‘Is it expedient, satisfactory, convenient, or profitable?’ ” Then follow your honest answer. (In Conference Report, Apr. 1982, p. 13; or Ensign, May 1982, p. 11.)

Write the following two questions on the chalkboard:
“Is it right? Is it true?”

Encourage the young women to ask themselves these questions when they have questions about whether something is honest.

HANDOUT:

Copy the handout off onto white cardstock, laminate and cut apart. Encourage the YW to keep it with them in their lockers at school.
