“The Very Vilest of Sinners”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

There is not, nor can there be, any lasting peace among men or nations until that peace is founded upon principles of righteousness. No treaty can establish anything more than a tenuous and temporary peace between such nations as the Nephites and the Lamanites. A change of heart is necessary if amity and harmony are to exist. Only the waters of baptism can permanently wash away the seeds of hatred and contention, bringing in their place life and love and peace.
