Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 71: April 8, 1909 It is the same with the Prophet Joseph Smith and the Latter-day Saints. It is the gospel of the Son of God, revealed anew in this last dispensation, that has made the name of that man immortal, and the saints the people that they are. Without it, in all proba bility the name of Joseph Smith would not have been known out side the locality in which he resided. Scarcely a day passes with out adding lustre to the name of the latter-day prophet, and as the years go by it will become more and more illustrious. It was the same with President Brigham Young. It was Mormonism, or the gospel of Jesus Christ, which made him the great and mighty man that he was. The-same may be said of all the succeeding presidents of the Church and also of the Latter-day Saints as a whole. In their lives the power of the gospel has been plainly made manifest. What a change the gospel of Christ has Wrought in the lives of tens of thousands of men and women in these latter days; through obedience to its holy principles they have been literally regenerated, born again, made new creatures in Christ Jesus, so that they are able to say with Paul, we are not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation. How could we feel ashamed of that which has done so much for us? Well might the Savior say, He that is ashamed of me before men of him will I be ashamed before my Father and before the angels. What have we to be ashamed of, brethren and sisters? Nothing under the sun. On the contrary, we have much to -be proud of. IS the great revelation which the Father and the Son have given of themselves in this dispensation something, to be ashamed of? Verily, no. Think of the state of ignorance from which that glorious manifestation has delivered hundreds of thousands of the human family. What erroneous and absurd ideas we entertained concerning our Father in heaven before the glad tidings of that new revelation reached us. Before, we worshiped we knew not what; now we worship God intelligently, in Spirit and in truth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 71: January 14, 1909 For nigh unto seventy years the voices of the servants of God have been heard declaring these things unto the people. Tens of thousands of missionaries and hundreds of thousands of lay mem bers of the Church have borne testimony to the world that God had manifested to them by the power of the Holy Ghost that these things are true. Now, the testimony of these thousands of witnesses must be either true or false. If it be true, then all those who reject it will come under the condemnation of the righteous Judge. But if the testimony of these witnesses be false, then condemnation will come upon all those who have borne it, and they will be denounced as deceivers and impostors. It will, therefore, be seen that the testimonies of the Latter-day Saints carry with them either sal vation or condemnation. This is a very serious matter, and we are pleased to know that it. Is beginning to be so considered by many people. A writer in a local paper a short time ago said that Mormonism had ceased to be considered a joke in this country. In the following we shall endeavor to prove that the testi mony of these witnesses is true. Why, the very nature of the testimony, it seems to us, is sufficient to do that. In the first place, why should Joseph Smith come out and declare to the world that, in answer to a fervent prayer which he sent up to the Father on high to point out to him the way of eternal life, the heavens were opened to him, and that in a glorious vision he beheld the Father and the Son; that the Lord conversed with him, and revealed unto him many great and important things pertaining to the salvation of the human family? This young man also declared with the greatest solemnity and soberness that angels ministered unto him from time to time; that they committed unto him a dispensation of the gospel, with authority to officiate in all its ordinances, and that he received from the Lord a commission to re-organize again upon the earth the Church of Christ. In testimony of the truth of these things the prophet sacrificed his life, as did also many of his devoted followers. What object could Joseph Smith have in telling such stories as these if they were not true? He could not expect to bring honor and glory to God by circulating falsehoods concerning Him; nor could he hope to gain the favor of heaven by deceiving his fellows. He could not fail to realize that his state ments, had they been false, would at the last day bring upon him the condemnation of God, who abhors lies and deception.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 71: January 28, 1909 Christians. He had sought for that faith in a number of the leading churches; but had sought in vain. And not only that, but the love which reigned in the hearts of the primitive saints, which found expression in their daily lives, and by which Christ said all men would know that they were His disciples, was also lacking. Like the woman in the Savior's parable who had lost a piece of money and who after diligent search had found it, so be, after searching for years for the primitive Christian faith and the primi tive Christian love, had at last found them in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His first testimony concerning the truth of the gospel taught by the Latter-day Saints was the testi mony of love which he saw the members of the Church bestow up on each other. So you see, brethren and sisters, we can all be missionaries. We cannot all leave our work and go out and distribute tracts; we cannot all stand up and preach, but this we all can do, we can love one another, and this will be a testimony to the world of the truth of Mormonism against which there can be no argument.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 71: July 15, 1909 Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (matt. 4: This is a strong refutation of the claims made by some idle talkers that only a part of the Lord's teaching need be heeded. Those who hang on the words, the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin, ignore the fact that Christ did not teach the entire gospel plan every time he Opened His month. He suited His words to the occasion. For instance, when He came to John the Baptist and requested baptism at his hands, He taught only, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. (matt 3: Those words cannot by any reasonable stretch of the imagination be interpreted to mean that the one act or ordinance of baptism is sufficient to fulfill all righteousness. This one act cannot be left undone in the fulfillment of all righteousness; it is necessary along with every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. In this passage we have additional light upon the words of John, But if we walk in the light as he is in the light the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. Christ died for our sins, it is true, and redeemed us from the results of the Fall, doing for us that which we could not do for our selves, but having done that much He expects that we shall take advantage of the light which He brought into the world, and work out our own salvation as He has pointed out the way. Without faith it is impossible to please him, for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. God is no respecter of persons and is to be found by all, the rich as well as the poor, the great and the small, the saint and the sinner, if they will only seek Him in the right spirit, believing that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. But, how shall we go about seeking him? The earnest inquirer asks. The Holy Scriptures give the key: If any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. And again: If any man will do the will of the Father he shall know of the doctrine. Seek wisdom of the Lord according to the admonition of the Apostle James and when God sends the light do not ignore it, no matter where it comes from. Do not be guilty of the idle words that many have uttered in these days, Can any good come from the Remember the foolish words of those people in former times who said, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 71: November 4, 1909 The first passage of Scripture quoted under the belief-alone theory in this article, is quite plainly but the introduction of the principle of faith as a necessary factor in the plan of salvation, for in the twenty-second verse of the same chapter, we read: After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judea, and there he tarried with them, and baptized. Again in the same chapter, verses three and five, it is recorded: Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 71: May 13, 1909 These illustrations are by no means considered as models in their class; but they serve the purpose of calling attention to the numberless perils of an insidious nature that Joseph Smith as an alleged impostor had to meet and avoid under the penalty of immediate exposure. It would require a volume to mention all the familiar names that must be excluded from the Book of Mormon in order that it may pass unchallenged, on this ground, as an ancient record; for the list embraces the nameof every invention, custom, manner, law and accomplishment; of every instrument, utensil, metal, power and force; of every industry, business and profession; of every product of the farm, factory, and laboratory; of every race, state and nation and their history, of every sect, principle and policy; of every theory and fact, etc., etc., almost to ad infinitum, that was not known by some name, or in some form to the ancient people whose history it records, or which can not be traced to the natural progress and development of those people themselves. But this is not all that is required in order that the Book of Mormon can not be successfully assailed on the ground of being modern in its standpoint; for allusion or reference to the excluded things and matters must also be suppressed. From these considerations it is very evident that in order to write now a spurious history of the largeness of that contained in the Book of'mormon, and do it successfully on an ancient basis, the author must not only perform his work in perfect oblivion of all his surroundings and modern education and knowledge; but he must also make himself just as familiar with everything necessary for his work which pertains to the ancient times of which he writes, as though he lived in that day. N o mortal ever has undertaken such a work and carried it out successfully; and it is recognized as a fact that no human being can do it. The snares and pitfalls that lie hidden in the way of its accomplishment are so insidious and deadly that human wisdom and skill can not avoid all of them; and it is safe to say that every page of such a work written by an unlearned youth in his own power, would reveal his true character.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 71: September 23, 1909 In a former communication to the Star attention was called to the manifestation of God's power in preserving Joseph Smith from some deadly pitfalls that lay in his course as the inspired founder of this Church. The remarks in this paper direct our thoughts to the aspect of the case when we look at Joseph Smith as an alleged impostor. Those things that would be deadly pitfalls and fatal to this work if it were not true, are just so many situations created purposely by the Almighty, or seized upon by Him as occasion arose, to show forth His might in the preservation of this Church as its guardian, and its extrication from those apparent pitfalls in so many instances are just the same number of pledges of its divinity which He has given to the world. He who preserved this work from falling into the pitfalls of death on one hand, and who has brought it safely through many others more deadly still if possible, is Divine. The good ship, Zion, has been safely steered through many a rocky sea that we all may know who it is that stands with sleepless eye at the helm.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 71: January 21, 1909 This was a great victory and we admire the man who achieved it; he is well worthy of praise. He has given the world a lesson; he has shown us what can be accomplished by the exercise of will power and the assistance of a friend.

Here are some of the promises He has made to those who over come: To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God; He that over cometh, the same shall be clothed In white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels Him that over cometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he Shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is New Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name; He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he Shall be my son.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 71: March 4, 1909 NO sooner had the young man, Joseph Smith, announced to the world that he had received a revelation from God than clergy and laity united in persecuting him. All manner Of falsehoods were coined and circulated about the inoffensive youth, in order to over throw his testimony. These failing, more extreme measures were resorted to: he was stripped and beaten, tarred and feathered and time after time thrown into prison. All this, remember, was done by people who called themselves Christians, and simply because the Object of their wrath continued to testify that God had heard and answered his prayer. But as none of these things were able to bring about the desired result, it was finally decided to put him to death. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. He and his beloved brother were murdered in cold blood by a mob, led by a minister of one of the sectarian churches. These were some Of the methods which were employed by Christians to get Latter-day Saints to renounce their faith and to put an end to Mormonism. A similar fate hefel many of the prophet's followers, while hundreds were driven from their homes, their crops destroyed and their property confiscated. They sought refuge in the land of the heathen, among savage Indians, and there they received much better treatment than they had received while dwelling among so called Christians. Heaven smiled upon them again; the blessings Of the Lord attended their labors, and in a little while they were once more comfortably settled in their own homes enjoying the good things of the earth and the still better things Of heaven. Think Of what happened then! Why with the record Of the terrible treatment which the Mormons had received before them, several religious societies in the East actually sent mission aries to Utah to convert them to their faith. Is it any wonder their work proved a miserable failure and that they were unable to make converts? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 71: October 28, 1909 There are things, in connection with this subject, that would not perhaps, be proper to speak of here, before a large and mixed con gregation: but I want to sound a warning to the Latter-day Saints. The time has come for them to look after their children. Every device possible to the understanding and ingenuity of cun ning men, is being used for the purpose of diverting our children from the faith of the gospel and from the love of the truth. Every species of organization is being formed, both in our midst and abroad, having for its object the express purpose of leading astray the children of the Latter-day Saints, because they can't reach their parents. This is their argument: We cannot convert the adult Mormon people, but we may, perhaps, convert their children; we may lead away their children; we do not hope to lead away the Old people. They can't do it, except it may be, now and then, a man or woman who never did know anything parti cularly about the gospel. These, only, are they who can be led away from the truth; and our children can be led away from their parents and from the faith of the gospel, only when they are in a condition that they know not the truth for themselves, not having been taught it, not having had a proper example before them to impress it upon their minds.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 71: May 6, 1909 The life of the Book of Mormon is thus seen to hang suspended, as it were, upon the use of a compromising word, a single reference with a distinct modern coloring only, or we might say, the careless slip of a pen. But blunders of this character (so easily made in a spurious work simulating the character of the Book of Mormon) are not found in it. Multitudes of instances of the kind just noticed, and every one of them affording an' Opportunity for dis grace and ruin, swarm about the pathway of any man, unlearned or learned, who dares attempt the task of writing by his own power the history of an ancient people without having a scrap of their authentic history for a guide. Let us now imagine Joseph Smith, a young man, unlearned, un schooled, wholly untrained for writing a book of any kind, not to mention the unusual difficulties and dangers connected with a work like the Book of Mormon, attempting to compose the latter as a religious romance, or a purposed fraud. His knowledge of all ancient matters amounts practically to nothing. (how defiant it was for him to choose the field of which he knew the least for his operations 1) There are limits, or boundaries between the ancient and the modern which he cannot pass, and still retain for a moment the confidence of his fellow-men as an inspired translator of ancient records. We see him reach the line between safety on the one side and discredit and disgrace on the other. This line of separation is sometimes almost invisible, and as he reaches it the impetus of his progress seems sufficient to bear him onward to ruin as a word or two will do the work; but he pauses at the proper point, always pauses there, and some people try to explain his course, or account for his preservation, on one contradictory theory or another, ever failing to perceive that if Joseph Smith were such a man as his opponents claim, he would doubtless have plunged headlong into the first one of these pitfalls that lay hidden from him but so directly in his way.
