Fine Clothes and Mankind's Problems
Some notes on Alma 4
About the pride and fine-twined linen - Elder Joe J. Christensen said at April 1999 Conference: "More than 10 times the prophets of the Book of Mormon warn us of the problems of pride related to the nature of our clothing."
Elder L. Tom Perry said at the April 1992 Conference: "Alma understood... there is no way of caring for the problems of mankind unless the great majority of them have been taught and subscribe their living to a code of conduct which will keep them from falling into sin... We are spending too much time and energy in repairing the damage of sin and not enough time in teaching them the Lord's law as a foundation on which they can govern their lives."
