Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 72: January 20, 1910 That this was in force with ancient Israel is amply proved from Numbers 15: 32 to 36, where a man was found gathering sticks on the Sabbath day, with which to keep himself warm, and he was Stoned to death at the command of the Lord, and in accordance with this (israel's) law. We ask if the law is in force to-day with relation to the penalty, and the answer comes, N o I We dare not stone people to death to-day. And yet the penalty of the law is more than one jot or tittle of the law which the: Sabbatarians say will not pass away until all is fulfilled. Let it be understood here, that jot (yod) is the smallest letter of the Hebrew alpha bet, and tittle the Space between the words of a Hebrew phrase. If, then, there Should not one jot or tittle pass unfulfilled from the law until all was fulfilled, and the penalty has passed from the law does it not argue that all is fulfilled?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 72: April 28, 1910 I could not keep my seat when the priest said the 'mormons' were not Christians, and didn't believe in Christ. I told him about my dear mother, who is now dead, taking me on her lap many times when I was only four or five years old, teaching me that J esus was the Son of God, and about His atonement and that it was only through Him that we all could be saved. Addressing the pastor, I said: 'these lessons I'll never forget as long as I live, and let me tell you, pastor, that my mother was a 'mormon' and that I was born over in Utah. Now don't you ever tell anybody that the Latter-day Saints don't teach Christ and Him crucified, for that is a falsehood.' He bowed his head as if he were ashamed. 'why, ' said I, 'i have never heard anything but that as long back as I can remember; if there is anybody who believes in J esas, the Latter-day Saints do.' I continued my talk to him, and explained authority, and revelation, and priesthood, telling him about the restoration of the same, etc. He then looked at his watch and said it was time to go, but, before he went, I made him a present of 'the Fundamental Principles of the Gospel, ' (by Apostle Orson Pratt), which he accepted and promised to read. He took me by the hand and thanked me. We parted after about forty minutes interview. When the elders previously visited this man he had in almost every case refused to take our tracts, but now he accepted a good book.

Download or read book The Latter Day Saints Millennial Star Vol 72 written by Charles W. Penrose and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-21 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 72: March 3, 1910 It is related that General Johnston, pretending to believe that Colonel Kane was a spy, sent an orderly to place him under arrest, but upon subsequent consideration blunderingly converted the order into an invitation to dine at headquarters. Colonel Kane's response was a formal challenge to the commanding officer. Governor Cumming espoused the cause of his guest and resented with great spirit the insult which had been offered him. The impending duel was prevented by the prompt action of Chief Justice Eckels, who threatened to arrest and punish all concerned if it proceeded farther. Mrs. Kane, writing with reference to this incident says: It may seem as if it were an anti-climax that Colonel Kane, on what he felt to be a God-given mission, should challenge Albert Sidney Johnston to fight a duel. But old fashioned chivalry in that day still believed in duelling, and Colonel Kane welcomed the chance given him by Johnston's blunder in arresting him on his arrival in camp, to claim Governor Cumming's services as his second. The old Georgian's hospitable blood was fired by the insult offered to his guest, and he at once became willing to act as his second, and, further, to become his champion and partisan to the extent of placing himself in his hands to go with a Mormon escort to Salt Lake City against the strongest remonstrances of Johnston.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 99: January 21, 1937 To all such parents and to their children, may we suggest a few of the many opportunities offered by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. Perhaps one of the most unusual features of the Church is the wide participation in all forms of activity by the individual members.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 96: January 11, 1934 It is obvious that these changed conditions should have little, if any, effect upon the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Its members have always stood for temper ance, they still stand for temperance, and should unitedly use their influence for the enactment of rational laws which will hold the liquor traffic in proper restraint, that we may never return to the golden age of the bootlegger, or the intolerable conditions which preceded him. Without reserve we endorse the attitude of the President of the United States when he says: To take the life of a person without due process of law is murder. It has always been, and still continues to be a fundamental doctrine of the Church that: The murderer has not eternal life abiding in him. Notwithstanding the vexatious delays of the law, the 11n certainty of the verdict to be pronounced by judge or jury, by which violators of the law who are obviously guilty are too frequently acquitted and turned loose 011 the community, to again kill, kidnap, or rob, we admonish members of the Church to refrain from participation in acts of lawlessness, and to advise others to refrain from all association with mobs.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 105: January 28, 1943 Time, a matter of 20-30 years, has healed the wounds, has calmed the fears and dried the tears of many Latter-day Saints, who used to be persecuted by infuriated mobs, whose abuse, hatred and insults were the outcome of bitter prejudice, ignorance and malice against the Church.

Book The Latter Day Saints  Millennial Star  Vol  71  January 14  1909  Classic Reprint

Download or read book The Latter Day Saints Millennial Star Vol 71 January 14 1909 Classic Reprint written by Charles W. Penrose and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-20 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 75: February 6, 1913 A new work entitled, The Restoration of the Gospel, by Prof. Osborne J. P. Widtsoe, a.m., Principal of the Latter-day Saints' High School, Salt Lake City, Utah, has but recently issued from the Deseret News press. It was passed upon by a committee under appointment from the First Presidency, and therefore comes to the public strongly recommended. The following observation is made by Professor Widtsoe in his Foreword: The brief treatment of the Restoration of the Gospel herewith presented to the public is not intended to be in any wise a history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is at most a story of the Restoration. It presumes at the outset that some thing has been restored. It relates how this something was restored. Every missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has met these two questions when he has preached abroad the Gospel of the restorati011: -what was restored? How was it restored? These two questions the follow ing chapters attempt to answer in part. It is but fair and just to say that he has handled the subject admirably. Many strong and convincing facts are skilfully woven together in chronological order, and prove beyond successful contradiction the need of a Restoration. While this is the particular and Special theme of the work, much valuable information is Contained in the chapters entitled, Sacred Writings of Old, A Sacred Book of To-day, The Gospel Brotherhood, A New and Everlasting Covenant, The Vision of Glories, In the Mouths of Witnesses, The Test of Section Sixty-seven.

Goodbye 1924 Welcome 1925! We shall be the wiser and better if we make the history of the Old Year a guide to the New. TO this end we shall do well to remember the past. Only through cumulative experiences can we grow and develop in wisdom. Events Of deep significance and immeasurable importance are following one another with bewildering rapidity. We say time is flying swiftly in this age; though everybody knows that the units are just as long as they ever have been. But with many great occurrences crowded into a year, we are thoughtlessly prone to think that the time is too Short for them all. Nevertheless, it is a fact that history is being made more rapidly than in times bygone; that is to say, more Of the really great occurrences, such as shall have enduring place in recorded annals, come to pass within a given period now than aforetime.
