United We Stand

Tonight at Stake Conference, President Dudley shared a story from Aesop's Fables that made a great point on unity. He was specifically referring to having unity in ward councils as well as family council. This point can be applied in every group situation:

The Four Oxen and the Lion

A LION used to prowl about a field in which Four Oxen used to dwell. Many a time he tried to attack them; but whenever he came near they turned their tails to one another, so that whichever way he approached them he was met by the horns of one of them. At last, however, they fell a-quarrelling among themselves, and each went off to pasture alone in a separate corner of the field. Then the Lion attacked them one by one and soon made an end of all four.         www.oldhomesteadswanzey.com “UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL.”
