Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 76: August 13, 1914 Do we owe Him so little that we can afford to pass our time In comfort and ease, caring nothing for the greater and better things of life - nothing for the laws which Christ laid down for our sal vation? Is it not better by far to be live fish going against the stream - if we may find peace, happiness and love at the end - than to go with the stream, and fail to realize the purpose of our creation? Shall we be of the world, and regret forever that we have not attained to what we might have been through our failure to improve the opportunities that have been offered to us? Our eyes are open, free agency is given to all, and two roads lie before us from which to choose. I need not say where the respective roads lead, for this we all know, and if we would but make a care ful study of the matter, we will know which is the better way. But I am wandering from my subject, the fatherhood of God, and I will now return to it. For some time past I have been searching for scriptural texts that are pertinent to my leading thought, and by the time we have read a few of them we will see that never for a moment was the fatherhood of God absent from the mind of Christ. On one occasion, when speaking of the love of God for mankind, taking a little child to Himself, He said, Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish (matt. 18: And another passage reads: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved (john 3: 16.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 78: August 17, 1916 The people of the world at the present time are all for pleasure, and seem to think about nothing except this world's goods. If you will open your Bible at I. John 2: 15, you will find these words, Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. My mind is not set upon this world's goods. I am trying to do as Jesus Christ taught, namely, to lay up treasures for myself in heaven, where moth and rust cannot creep in, and where thieves cannot break through and steal. The world are laying up treasures on earth, where rust can corrupt, and thieves break through and steal. Christ says (matt. 16: For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? The gospel of Christ, as taught by the Latter-day Saints, is indeed a Pearl of Great Price. It brings true happiness and con tentment. Paul says (i. Tim. 6; 6 But godliness with content ment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. We are told again (matt. 6: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things will be added unto you. In order to do this, we must do as Christ says (john 5: Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me, then we shall find that we must repent of our sins, with a godly sorrow, not with the sorrow of the world, which, as Paul says (ii. Cor. 7: worketh death. Christ has provided a way in which we can get remission of our sins. Peter (acts 2: 38) commands the people to be baptized for the remission of their sins. Again, we find that Paul was commanded to be baptized to wash away his sins (acts 22: After baptism, we receive the Com forter, which is the Holy Ghost. Peter promised the Holy Ghost after baptism (acts 2: Christ promised the Holy Ghost after His departure (john 16: The mission of the Spirit of God is to lead us into all truth (john 14: This gift was bestowed by the laying on of hands, as we read in Acts 8: 17.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 78: August 31, 1916 Now, our enemies do not believe one word of this. They think we are enthusiastic; they think this is all nonsense, and I do not know but there may be some of the Latter-day Saints that begin to partake of the same spirit, owing to their assimilating them selves so much to the fashion of the world, that they have lost their strong and powerful faith in that which God has predicted by the mouth of His servants. Perhaps you may ask for what purpose these twenty-four compartments are to be built. I answer, not to assemble the outside world in, nor to assemble the saints all in one place, but these buildings will be built with a special view to the different orders; or, in other words, the differ ent quorums or councils of the two Priesthoods that God has ordained on the earth. That is the object of having twenty-four rooms, so that each of these different quorums, whether they be High Priests or Seventies, or Elders, or Bishops, or Lesser Priest hood, or Teachers, or Deacons, or Patriarchs, or Apostles, or High Councils, or whatever may be the duties that are assigned to them, they will have rooms in the Temple of the Most High God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 78: November 9, 1916 After the spirit leaves the body, it remains without a tabernacle in the spirit world until the Lord, by His law which He has or dained, brings to pass the resurrection of the dead: ten the angel who holds the keys of the resurrection shall sound his trumpet, then the peculiar fundamental particles that organized our bodies here, if we do honor to them, though they be deposited in the depths of the sea. And though one particle is in the north. Another in the south. Another in the east, and another in the west, will be brought together in the twinkling of an eye, and our spirits will take possession of them. \ve shall then be prepared to dwell with the Father and the Son, and we never can be pre pared to dwell with them until then. Spirits, when they leave their bodies, do not dwell with the Father and the Son, but live in the spirit world, where there are places prepared for them. Those who do honor to their tabernacles, who love and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, must put off this mortality, or they cannot put on immortality. This body must be changed, else it cannot be prepared to dwell in the glory of the Father. To me all these things are plain and easy. All we want is to understand the very subject Jesus was talking about, the nature of our organizations, the world we occupy, the laws by which we are, and by which we continue to exist. Brother Hyde says, Take the world, and what do they know pertaining to the things of God? Do they know their right hands from their left, figuratively speaking? No. All that Brother Hyde has said concerning our important position is true. It is beyond the power of man to fully unfold it, though a portion has been beautifully portrayed, and it seems that the people should see things that are so plain. \vere it possible for the nations to gain power to destroy this kingdom 011 the earth, by so doing they would seal their eternal damnation. That is as true as it is that Jesus died for the sins of the world; as true as it is that there is a heaven, a God, and that the world exists, and the children of men dwell upon it.

A man might travel from Maine to Louisiana, and scarcely have a chance to hear the fulness of the gospel; and if he wished to hear the gospel, he would have to come here. Thus we see the literal fulfilment of that prediction. I read it in 1830, and used to wonder how it would be fulfilled. But notwithstanding the jealousy that existed in the United States in regard to this people, the Book of Mormon was so common and preached so extensively, that some of them, right in their wicked ness, Herod-like, happened to discover the prediction in regard to the fulness of the gospel's coming to the remnants of Joseph, and happened to understand it in part.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 78: June 1, 1916 Now we all need patience, forbearance, forgiveness, humility, charity, love unfeigned, devotion to the truth, abhorrence of sin, of wickedness, of rebellion and of disobedience to the requirements of the gospel. These are the qualifications requisite to Latter-day Saints, and to becoming Latter-day Saints, members in good standing in the Church of Jesus Christ, heirs of God, and joint heirs with Jesus Christ.

He became a member of the Legislature, and held other important positions of trust. In 1873 he filled another mission to Great Britain. In 1877 he was appointed president of the Tooele Stake, and the following year he was elected to represent Tooele County in the Legislature. In August, 1880, he made a tour of Southern Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico, and while on this mission, he was chosen a member of the Council of Apostles, and he was ordained to that high and holy calling on the 27th of October, 1880. From that time on he has devoted his entire time and energy to ecclesiastical work. His travels embrace almost every city, town, and village in the \vest, where there is a Church organization. In the early part of 1883, Elder Lyman went on a mission to the Ute Indians in Uintah, and his efforts were crowned with great success, and before he and his companions left that field, many of the Indians were faithful Latter-day Saints.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 78: January 20, 1916 Did our Lord permit Judas Iscariot to partake of the sacrament? According to the best authorities, the Scriptures indicate that the betrayer had left the company when the sacred ordinance was ii1 stituted. Jesus it seems, was troubled in His spirit because of the presence of Judas, and hastened his departure by telling him that He knew of his designs. Judas, too, was evidently ill at ease when one disciple after another asked, Lord, is it I? And so, as soon as he had partaken of the second course, the Master having dipped a piece of bread in the haroseth, or sauce, and given it to him, he went out. Then our Lord instituted the supper and offered His High-priestly prayer. Judas was not present during the sacred moments preceding the agony of Gethsemane and the cross. But although Judas was not permitted to partake of the sacra ment, the elders of the Church are commanded not to exclude from the sacrament meetings those who are earnestly seeking the kingdom, even if they are not members (doe. And Gov. 46: In the primitive church, after the departure of the apostles, it be came a custom to dismiss first the unconverted hearers, and then those who had applied for membership, the so - called catechumens. Only those who had been baptized and were faithful members remained for the communion service. They had three different missas, or masses, each adapted for a different class. But the Church has been commanded not to exclude anybody from the sacrament meetings. It was one of the mistakes of the early church whereby the sacrament came to be regarded as the service, to the exclusion of the preaching of the gospel, and the Ch1u°ch to-day is warned against that error.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 78: October 26, 1916 He invited me to his home, where I saw Mother Smith and Hyrum Smith's wife, and Sister Rockwell, the mother of Orrin Porter Rockwell. We sat up talking nearly all night; for I had not much Spare time, having two appointments out, and a long day's journey for a man to walk. I had to return the next morn ing, and we conversed during most of the night, without being either sleepy or weary. During that conversation, I learned something of the rights of the Church, its organization, the restoration of the Priesthood, and many important truths. I felt to go back and fill the two appointments given out and that closed my ministry, as I felt that I had no authority, and that I would go back and obey the Priesthood, which was again upon the earth. I attended to my appointments, and was back again the next morning to Brother Hyrum's. He made me a present of the Book of Mormon, and I felt richer in the possession of that book, or the knowledge contained in it than I would, could I have had a warranty deed of all the farms and buildings in that country, and it was one of the finest regions in the world. I walked awhile, and then sat down and read awhile; for it was not my mind to read the book through at once. I would read, and then read the same portion over again, and then walk on. I was filled with joy and gladness, my Spirit was made rich, and I was made to realize, almost as vividly as if I-had seen it myself, that the Lord Jesus Christ did appear in His own proper person, in His resurrected body, and minister to the people in America in ancient times. He had surely risen from the dead and ascended into heaven, and did come down on the American continent, in the land Bountiful, on the northern part of South America, and did minister to the remnants of Joseph, called the Nephites, and did Show His resur rected body unto them. They did handle Him, see Him, and examine the wounds that were pierced in His hands His side, and His feet; and they bathed them with their tears, and kissed them, and thousands of them did bear record of these facts. He did deliver to them His gospel in its fulness and plainness, in the presence of thousands, and did command them to write it in a book; and He promised that that book should come to light in latter days, in time for the great restoration of all Israel, and the fulfilment of the prophecies re lating to the great work of the last days.

Continued by singing, High on the mountain top. The names of the general and local authorities were then pre sented, and those officers were unanimously sustained. President James Judd expressed his pleasure in meeting again to hear the servants of God. He stated that the world is becoming irreligious and is making light of the lawsof God. We should be of one mind and one faith, as Paul in speaking to the Corinthians said, I exhort you in the name of Jesus Christ to be of one faith. All the different churches can not be right, but they all could be wrong, and there can be only one true church, as there can be only one way to enter the kingdom of heaven. There was only one gospel given, and no one had the right to alter or change that gospel. The servants of God had divine authority and were called of God to preach this gospel. Therefore what Peter preached was the gospel of Jesus Christ, for he was called of God; he taught faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; also, repentance and baptism, and the laying on of hands for the reception of the Holy Ghost.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 78: January 27, 1916 Romanists hold that the bread and wine, by the consecration, are changed into the flesh and blood of our Redeemer, as the water at the feast in Cana was changed into wine. The accidents, such as form, taste, color, chemical affinities, and nutritive qualities remain, they say, but the substance, or essence, is different, and the bread and wine remain flesh and blood after the communion. This miracle they call transubstantiation. It follows that they regard the observance of the sacrament as a propitiatory sacrifice, for the expia-tion of sin. What is offered, they say, is Christ, His body, soul, and divinity, all of which are present under the form of a wafer and wine. The doctrine of transubstantiation was first introduced in the ninth century, but was not accepted as an article of faith until the fourth Lateran council in 1215. It is founded, not on the Scriptures, but on the philosophy of Aristotle, according to which there is in everything a substance that sustains the properties we perceive with our senses, such as form, color, taste, odor, etc. A theory which may, or may not, be perfectly true, but which, nevertheless, has no bearing whatever on any question relating to the presence of our Lord in the sacrament. As far as there can be said to be any Scripture justification for this doctrine, it is supposed to be found in the words of our Lord, This is my body; This is my blood. But the Jews said of the bread broken at the passover, This is the bread of affliction, referring to the sufferings of their fathers in Egypt, although they did not mean to affirm that it was the identical' cake which their fathers had eaten, or that the bread broken had been transformed into the original loaf baked in Egypt. They meant to say that it was a. Symbol, an emblem of the bread of affliction eaten in Egyptian bondage. Jesus also said, I am the door I am the vine. One of the apostles says, That rock was Christ. Are we, therefore, to conclude that in each case transubstantiation is taught, so that Christ is changed into a door, a vine, a rock? That would be wresting the Scriptures.
