D&C 76:40-41
40 And this is the gospel, the glad tidings, which the voice out of the heavens bore record unto us—
 41 That he came into the world, even Jesus, to be crucified for the world, and to bear the sins of the world, and to sanctify the world, and to cleanse it from all unrighteousness;


Sonnet 808 D&C 76:40-41

Each day I check the news to see what's new
I listen to the stories of the day
And weather, sports and things the nations do
I like to learn what's going on that way.

And most of what I hear is pretty mean
The troubles and the strife are what they sell
The crime, the plagues and even the obscene
Are all reported faithfully and well.

But there is always news that's always good
Glad tidings, new and ancient, always true
Although not in the nightly news, it should
Be something that I constantly review.

Between the nightly and the glad please choose
The Gospel as most valued piece of news.
