“The most important difference between these early American families and our own is that early families constituted economic unitsin which all members, from young children on up, played important productive roles within the household.

“The chemical compounds are comparable to a system of planets in that the atoms are held together by chemical affinity. They may be more or less numerous, simple or complex in composition, and in the constitution of the materials, they play the same role as Mars and Venus do in our planetary system, or the compound members such as our earth with its moon, or Jupiter with its satellites... If in such a system a particle is replaced by one of different character, the equilibrium can persist, and then the new compound will exhibit properties similar to those shown by the original substance.” IfsMayDifferentPlayCharacterEarthTogetherSimpleRolesPlanetsMaterialsMoonMembersConstitutionOriginalsPropertyComplexesSubstanceChemicalsAtomsCompositionReplacedPersistMarsParticlesExhibitsCompoundsEquilibriumVenusSatellitesAffinityDifferent CharactersJupiterChemical Compounds Author:Jean-Baptiste Dumas
“Both group effort and individual testimony flow from conviction as to the role of people on earth. In stewardship of the common heritage, a few simple beliefs recur: that all are indeed members of the same human family, that all share in responsibility for the others, that each is capable of responding directly to divine guidance. To seek to translate these into practical action with regard to soil or petroleum or the fish of the sea is not necessarily to do what is directly effective in changing society.” PeopleHumansActionEarthIndividualBeliefSimpleCommonEffortResponsibilityRolesGroupsSeaShareDivineMembersCapableFlowRegardEnvironmentalFishesConvictionPracticalsGuidanceSoilHeritageTranslateTestimonyStewardshipRespondingHuman FamilyPetroleumDivine GuidanceGroup Effort Author:Gilbert F.
