"The word 'ensign' refers to a flag, standard, or sign. In battle an ensign would be held up to give guidance to soldiers so they would know where to go. If the standard was lost or its bearer killed, then the soldiers would be like sheep without a shepherd and at the mercy of their enemies."

May Issue: Conferencisms
Just a reminder to keep reading the Conference talks in the May issue of the Ensign! I recently read "Establishing a Christ Centered Home" by Richard J. Maynes of the Seventy. I remember listening to his talk during conference and the poem he shared really struck me. Before reciting the poem he said, "The responsibility for establishing a Christ-centered home lies with both parents and children. Parents are responsible to teach their children in love and righteousness. Parents will be held accountable before the Lord in how they perform their sacred responsibilities. Parents teach their children with words and through example."
