“On one occasion, Karl G. Maeser was leading a party of young missionaries across the Alps.  As they reached the summit, he looked back and saw a row of sticks thrust into the snow to mark the one safe path across the otherwise treacherous glacier.

“Halting the company of missionaries, he gestured toward the sticks and said,  ’ Brethren, there stands the priesthood [of God].  They are just common sticks like the rest of us,… but the position they hold makes them what they are to us.  If we step aside from the path they mark, we are lost.’ ”

The above story is found in Alma P. Burton, Karl G. Maeser, Mormon Educator, Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1953, p. 22; as quoted by Boyd K. Packer, in “From Such Turn Away,” Ensign, May 1985, p.33; see also Boyd K. Packer, “Follow the Brethren,” Speeches of the Year, BYU, 23 March 1965, p. 1–10; as reprinted in Tambuli, Sept. 1979, p.53; and Boyd K. Packer, “The Spirit Beareth Record,” Ensign, June 1971, p.87.

I see that booklets of the 2006 training on “Supporting the Family” is still available from http://www.ldscatalog.com, but am I right in thinking that 2007’s “Teaching and Learning” was only published in the June 2007 Ensign?
