Lesson Title: "The Word of God as a Standard"

OBJECTIVE:

PREPARATION:

  1. Obtain a picture of the present President of the Church.
  2. Prepare a poster with pictures and newspaper headlines depicting some of the worldly philosophies and challenges the young women in your area must face. Opposite the poster, set up a picture of the prophet and a set of the standard works of the Church. Between these two, place pictures of young women in your class.

You may wish to give her additional material from the scriptures, from recent Church magazines, and from general conference addresses. Give each young woman a time limit to fit your lesson presentation.

2. Have a qualified speaker, approved by your local priesthood leader, conduct a fireside on one or more subjects from the lesson. Allow time for questions and discussion with the young women following the talk.
