"Inasmuch as parents have children in Zion, or in any of her stakes
which are organized, that teach them not to understand the doctrine of
repentance, faith in Christ the Son of the living God, and of baptism,
and the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of the hands when
eight years old, the sin be upon the heads of the parents; for this
shall be a law unto the inhabitants of Zion, or in any of her stakes
which are organized.
And they shall also teach their
children to pray and to walk uprightly before the Lord." Doc. and
Cov. xxii. 4.
