What Grandfather Burton did for me was to write a sacred family record, the small plates of Burton, or, if you will, an inspirational family record.

Therefore, as a people we ought to write of our own lives and our own experiences to form a sacred record for our descendants. We must provide for them the same uplifting, faith-promoting strength that the ancient scriptures now give us.
