President Gordon B. Hinckley urged people to leave conference better than when they came.

"I challenge everyone of you who can hear my voice to rise to the divinity that is in them," he said.

He said that he personally wants to do this.

"I hope that I will be a little kinder to anyone in distress," he said. "I hope I will be a better husband grandfather neighbor and friend."

He expressed his knowledge that the Latter-day Saints are basically good people.

"We can either subdue our divine nature and hide it or we can bring it to the front in all that we do," he said. "We can improve ourselves."

"We do not need to wear our religion on our sleeve," he said. "We do not need to be arrogant in any way."

He said that such behavior goes against the doctrine of God.

We can exercise self control and self discipline

Let us be a happy people. Worries will be few if we cultivate a Spirit of happiness.

President Hinckley emphasized the family as the basic unit of the church.

"We are concerned over the quality of families," he said.

There is too much fault finding. The pressures of the day are tremendous for both husbands and wives.

He said that wives who work face a serious challenge that may be more than its worth and children are often subject to bad entertainment.

"If we fail in our homes we fail in our lives," he said. "Everything in this world counts on it."

He said husbands should pray for guidance.

"The consequences of your leadership in your homes will be eternal," he said.

"Kneel in prayer with thanksgiving then stand on your feet and go forward as sons and daughters of God," he said.
