Latter-day Saints are subject to both divine law (the Gospel) and the laws of the land, recognizing that human governments are imperfect.
The U.S. Constitution is viewed as one of the best forms of government created by humankind, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and the Latter-day Saints are loyal to its principles.

Members are encouraged to endure trials and unjust enforcement of laws with patience, seeking guidance from the Holy Spirit and striving for righteous living.
In conclusion, Carrington's message underscores the importance of adhering to both divine and constitutional principles. While acknowledging the flaws of human governance, he reaffirms the Latter-day Saints' allegiance to the U.S. Constitution. The discourse emphasizes the critical need for patience and perseverance amidst persecution, urging members to live righteously and prepare for the Second Coming.
