Sisters, writes every woman's Relief Society president Fonda AlaMode, I hope that you will not be offended, but I have been thinking lately. In ten missives to the Parley P. Pratt Park South Fourth Ward, Sister AlaMode shares the fruits of her deepest thoughts. I do feel, she writes, that the Ward is truly a place of open inquisition in which sisters may exercise the sweet spirits with which they are possessed. Of course, when the brethren offer counsel, Fonda sees to it that sisters turn their thinking around three hundred and sixty degrees.Among numerous tips on homemaking and special womanly values, Fonda gives a synopsis of recent Relief Society meetings, including prayers: And please remember all those who are sick of our ward; lessons, such as: Motherhood: The Greatest Calling Given Unto Mankind; and special thoughts: Premarital intimacy is foul, filthy, and disgusting and should be saved for the one we love most.Fonda reassures readers that she is not what anyone would call an intellectualist. Sixty snapshots accompany the text, showing, for instance, Fonda bearing her testimony: I am not padding the truth, she says, when I say that my cup is truly full. This priceless inspiration truly belongs to the deep thoughts genre.
