FHE ~ Brigham Young

Opening Song: “Pioneer Children Sang as they Walked,” Children’s Songbook, p. 214

Scripture: D&C 126:1-2

Lesson/Activity:

Materials needed: One old-fashioned tool (manual) and one newer tool of the same variety (electric).

Procedure: Show the tools and ask what their use might be. Indicate that the older tool was very modern in its own time and then discuss the similarities and the differences between the tools. Explain that even though the tools are different, their basic use is the same. Tell the class that the most important thing is not the tool but how it is handled and what is the ultimate goal for its use. Point out that both tools can be used to turn out quality work.
Explain that these tools are like changes in church leadership. Even though the leader has changed, the ultimate goal has not. An example of this is when Brigham Young took over leadership of the church after Joseph Smith died.
