Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 67: November 23, 1905 Some who have been asked if willing to perform a mission have suggested that their call be postponed for a certain length of time in order to become better prepared. A number of such missionaries have been heard to admit that it would have been better for them if they had accepted the call at once; and some have, after asking for an extension of time, ' changed their minds and reported themselves ready to go without availing themselves of the time given for preparation, finding that the longer they remained the further they were from being ready. The late Apostle Parley P. Pratt, in his Autobiography, relates that upon one occasion he hesitated before starting upon a mission that had been as signed him. He was in debt, and was building a house, and desired to finish it before leaving. Before it was finished the house took fire and was burned. Elder Pratt then decided at once that he was ready to fulfill his mission. He looked upon his misfortune as a rebuke for not responding when first called. Upon deciding to go, his friends came to his assistance, his debts were can celled, and thus his way was made clear to perform his duty.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 67: February 2, 1905 Shortly after this visit to the revival meeting, the Christian Age of January 18th, 1905, came to our table. In looking over this number, we found an article entitled, How to Enter the Kingdom, which, it stated, was a study of the International Lesson for January 29th, 1905. The text was from John iii: 1-15. As it is our business in these lands to preach the Gospel and show to the people how to enter the kingdom of heaven, the article was of special interest. From verses one to fifteen there were three columns of comments and explanations. It tells that Nicodemus came to Jesus by night - how he came, and for what purpose. The writer quotes verse one: There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the J ews then comments on the passage. Then verse two: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Verse three continues: Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. These three verses with ex planations occupy a column in the journal. Then verse six is quoted: That which is born of the flesh is flesh, etc., and thus the commentator continues to the end of the lesson. Thinking that here again was something omitted, we turned to John iii and read the chapter. The bold headline in the Christian Age article was, How to Enter the Kingdom, but the writer seemed to stop at the threshold. He had explained that a man had to be born again to see the kingdom, and had there stopped. We had always found something more in that chapter, state ments by the Savior of vitally important ordinances that had to be performed before an entrance could be had into the kingdom. The writer had entirely omitted the fourth and fifth verses of the chapter. These verses are as follows. 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. 67: February 23, 1905 While In Ohio I continued at intervals my correspondence with the Salt Lake Herald, using the nom de plume Iago, by which I had been known at an earlier period in the Wasatch Literary association, of which I was one of the founders. But now that correspondence was a side issue, a secondary consideration, no longer monopolizing my time and attention. The kingdom of God was first. Some of the brightest and happiest of my recollections cluster around a series of letters received from President Brigham Young. The first of these released me from my former field of labor, Pennsylvania, and appointed me to remain in Ohio, under the presidency of Elder David M. Stuart, at St. Louis. In another letter-president Young commended my efforts to spread the truth, and gave me this golden advice: Never condescend to argue with the wicked; the principles of the Gospel are too sacred to be quarreled over; bear your testimony in humility, and leave the result with the Lord. He had noticed my writings in the Herald, particularly a description of the visit to Kirtland, and in his epistle he said, I would be pleased to have you corres pond freely with the Deseret News. Cultivate your gift for writing, that it may be used for the establishment of truth and righteousness upon the earth. Thus encouraged, I devoted considerable time to literary work, both in poetry and prose, and my worthy Aunt Em (emeline B. Wells) editor of the Woman's Exponent, found enough merit in some of my earliest verses to induce her to publish them. I contributed to the Deseret News, as President Young had requested, carried on a large correspondence, received visitors and explained to them the Gospel, and answered by tongue or pen every attack upon Utah and the Mormons that came to my notice.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 67: March 9, 1905 Those who so teach, teach blasphemy. They would seal the lips of the Eternal One and rob Him of all power of direct and immediate communication with man they ignore the Living God as a factor in current events, and in their hearts have dethroned the Supreme Ruler. Bow ghastly are the linea ments of this belief with the damp odor of the grave; it is as hideous as are the petrified saurian monsters of the Reptilian Age. It has no place in the progressive, living liberality of this day, and never has it held a rightful place in the honest thought and sound belief of men; for it is as it ever has been, as it must ever be, illogical, unnatural, untrue.

We affirm that man existed as an intelligent being prior to his earthly birth, and that he lives beyond the grave. We believe that he is responsible for his own acts, and that these shall pro duce their natural results of happiness or suffering, as truly as seed that is sown brings forth good grain or noxious weeds according to its kind.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 67: September 14, 1905 And in their triumph die; like fire and powder, Which, as they kiss, consume: the sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness, And in the taste confounds the appetite Therefore, love moderately; long love doth so Too swift arrives as tardy as-too slow. Where connubial differences occur, each Of the interested parties is likely to think the trouble lies wholly with the other and does not consider that in all probability the other has equally as much cause for complaint. Love that is blind before marriage has a remarkably keen vision afterward. If people contemplating such a union would learn to look at each other in their true light there would not be such a waste of affection before marriage nor such a famine for it later on. The spirit of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is to be moderate in all things. N 0 one who properly understands the principles which the Savior taught can be an extremist. Such a one will not be too bold nor too retiring; not too violent in his love-making before the wedding nor too forgetful of his life's partner afterward. The Gospel, being the perfect law, is destined to make perfect people - people who will do everything exactly right. On the other hand.

We may add here that through the Book of Mormon and other revelations to this great Prophet, we learn that the Redeemer of the world, subsequent to His resurrection, and after His visit to the tribe of Joseph, went to the ten lost tribes of Israel, and organized His Church among them, after the same pattern as He had done at Jerusalem and on the western hemisphere. Their Prophets and Apostles received and wrote the revelations of God which were to them the scriptures of divine truth, even as the Bible was to the Jews, and the Book of Mormon to the house of Joseph.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 67: October 12, 1905 In all the useful and philanthropic enterprises thus enumerated, and in many more that cannot now be named, it was virtually the Church that took the lead; for Brigham Young, as President and trustee-in-trust, acted as the agent of the Church in investing its means and manipulating its revenues. In this capacity he built the Deseret Telegraph line, entirely with home capi tal and home labor, only a few years after the original telegraph line crossed the continent, and before the advent of the railroad. He and other leading Mormons helped to construct the Union Pacific and Central Pacific rail roads, which on May 10, 1869, made Promontory, Utah, their place of meeting and welding point between East and West. About this time also he took the initiative in organizing Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institution, a mam moth concern designed to unify Mormon commercial interests in the face of impending fierce competition from the outside, resulting from the coming of the railroad. He even attempted to re-establish the United Order, and succeeded in part; though his greatest success in that direction was limited to the mighty Cc-operative movement of which he was the chief instigator and promoter.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 67: December 7, 1905 This brother immediately began to pay his tithing and his fast offerings, and he gave me something to eat every day, thus showing that the Gospel had taken a firm hold on him. As Alexandretta is a small city, the fact that I had baptized this man soon spread, and some person took the news to the chief of police, who came to me and asked what I was doing. I informed him that I was giving out tracts and making the people acquainted with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. He said to me, You are a Mormon, and the Mormons have no permission to preach in Turkey. I offered him some tracts, and told him that if he would read them he would find the true Gospel of Christ. He took two of our tracts from his pocket and said he would read them. After having a long talk with him, he departed. I continued my work unmolested for a time, and held meetings every Sunday. Shortly afterwards I baptized some more converts, and this had the effect of bringing the chief of police around to me again. He appeared to be very angry, and claimed that I had promised him that I would not give out tracts and would hold no meetings. He told me that he was a Mohammedan, and that he did not believe the doctrines of the Mor mon Church. He said that other Christian Protestants - orthodox and Armenian, had complained against me. I said that I was acquainted with the Turkish laws, and knew that he could not banish an American until he had visited an American Consulate. I also told him that I would not leave the city, because I was going to preach the Gospel there, and that he could go to the Consulate and talk the matter over with the consul. He then left me again, and I went on with my work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 67: February 16, 1905 In the neighboring city of Lancaster we attended, one Sunday evening, a meeting of the colored people (shouting Methodists), where I heard for the first time a. Negro preacher, who delivered to a congregation of several hundred souls what he called the fish sermon, taking for his text the well known Scriptural passage, Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind. In a most ingenious manner (though I doubted his authorship of the sermon) he proceeded to arraign the various professions and vocations, comparing each to some sort of fish, and paralleling their characteristics in a way quite telling. For instance, the lawyer was a shark, and the doctor something else, etc. All the while he was speaking, he strode back and forth upon the platform before a rapt multitude of worshippers, the front rows not only kneeling, but fairly groveling, upon the floor, moaning, groaning, and ejaculating Amen, O Lord, and other pious exclamations, as a continuous accompaniment to his discourse. Ever and anon the preacher would pause and say to them, Keep on praying, brothers, sisters, keep on praying, and I have no doubt that I will be able to mention some sixty kinds of fish. And I verily believe he did, before he sat down, bathed in a glow of rapture that might have consumed him but for the profuse perspiration that acted as a safeguard.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 67: August 10, 1905 There is a spiritually scientific and philosophic reason at the bottom of the demand for faith as the first condition of salvation. Unless we believe in God, He cannot do for us all that He desires to do. He cannot give what we are not able or not willing to receive. Therefore He says, Draw near unto Me, and I will draw near unto you. We draw near unto God by believing in Him, and if we truly believe in Him we will obey Him, thereby building upon the rock, and not upon the sand.

How must he feel, they asked, after months of vituperation and abuse that are almost without parallel in the most trying history of God's people! They saw nothing in his calm and composed demeanor, save that the tone of his voice betokened that steadfast purpose and those settled convictions that have characterized his life and teachings. The conference throughout was, perhaps, somewhat more spirited than most of its predecessors, but there was nothing pronounced in the occasion until four o'clock on Sunday afternoon, when the President arose to offer a few expressions of appreciation and to announce the hymn. Looking down before him he saw the presidents of stakes on the front seats. To his right were patriarchs and other veterans whose lives of sublime integrity and devoted loyalty were in themselves an inspiration. On the stand immediately in front of him were the general authorities of the Church. To his left sat the aged mothers, the tried and true daughters of Zion. At the rear was the Tabernacle choir, from whose midst towered the great organ. 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. 67: December 21, 1905 Joseph was beginning a journey of exploration to the Rocky Mountains, to prepare for the fulfillment of his own prophecy that the Saints would sometime be established there, when the timidity of some of his friends brought him back to martyrdom. His nature was not a restless one, but from the beginning of his ministry he had been compelled to move frequently, either alone or with his people, to avoid conflict with his persecutors or death at their hands. The inspiration of moving the people to the West was left for another to carry out, but this and every other great policy of the Church were taught and in most cases instituted by the Prophet Joseph. Joseph Smith was permitted in his few years upon the earth to accomplish more than any other mortal except the Savior. We honor him for his integ rity and long-suffering, and at the same time, we praise and worship and give glory to the Lord for revealing to the earth through him the eternal truths of the Gospel.
