Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 65: November 12, 1903 The speaker read a passage from the eleventh chapter of Deuteronomy and another from a section of the Doctrine and Covenants to show that the teach ings of the authorities of the Church to-day are the same as have always been taught by the servants of God. He admonished the Saints to daily read a chapter of the Bible, Book of Mormon, or the other standard Church works before their families. He felt anxious that we should impress the world with the fact that we love the Savior. He spoke of the influence of education, not only of the Church schools, but also of the district schools. He advised the Saints to send their children to the district schools, and not take them out at the sixth or seventh grade. He hoped that the Saints would see that their children are properly educated. He bore his testimony to the truth. The choir then sang, We thank Thee, O God, for a Prophet, and benedic tion was pronounced by Elder David H. Cannon.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 65: June 4, 1903 Mormon characters to Professor Charles Anthon, of New York, by Martin Harris. But it is well to remember that complete details of this transaction, and the statement of each side of the case, are given in Orson Pratt's Works (salt Lake edition), pages 295-7. A Similar account in briefer form is given in The History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, vol. I, chap. 3, and in the Life of Joseph Smith, Cannon, chap. 8. The thirty-seventh chapter of Ezekiel deals almost entirely with the great Latter-day work and might be made the subject of volumes of oommen taries. A few of the verses (16-19) distinctly foreshadow the writing and bringing forth of the Book of Mormon. These have been so fully discussed by almost every preacher and writer of our Church that the merest reference to them seems superfluous, and nothing can be added to what has already been said: Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions: and join them one to another into one Stick; and they shall become one in thine hand. And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these? Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 65: October 8, 1903 Then again these mobs are growing rapidly in numbers so that those engaged in torturing and hanging number thousands when formerly the mob did not consist of more than forty or fifty men. President Roosevelt gave the best summary of the situation that has yet appeared when he said: The spirit of lawlessness grows with what it feeds on, and when mobs with impunity lynch criminals for one crime, they are certain to begin to lynch real or alleged criminals for other causes. Nobody in the world deplores more than do the Latter-day Saints the pre valence and brutality of mob violence. If mob violence in this country did not have its origin in the drivings and persecutions of the Latter-day Saints, it is certain that no class of people in this country have suffered more and longer from the lawlessness of the mob than have the Latter-day Saints. For more than half a century the Mormons have been the victims of lawless mob violence against which very little has been said, for the chief reason that the victims had been so long pursued by hatred and prejudice that the world had been taught to withdraw all its sympathy from them. Whipping, driving, and shooting Mormon Elders in the south called forth no anxiety and little objection upon the part of the press; and the Mormon Elder, pure and up right in his life, has received less sympathy and protest in his favor than the negro ravisher who deserved, perhaps, the punishment, however inexcusable the method of executing it. It is a precious boon to stand with all men face to face equal before the law and to live under a government where the orderly and just execution of the law prevails. We have always believed as a people that those who mobbed us, and that the country at large which acquiesced in mob violence were sowing to the wind and that some day the country would reap the whirlwind. That the prevalence of mob violence is a direct menace to the institutions of our country no one need to doubt who reads the comments of the press upon the subject.

Recently in New York City there was a dispute between the masons and the electricians as to which should place certain holes in the walls to receive the electric wires. The contention stopped the work and the con tractors, by the rules of the labor union, were compelled to pay the men wages while the work was stopped and the contention was under way.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 65: February 19, 1903 This is in accordance with the doctrine of Christ as it is revealed in the New Testament; it is in accordance with the word of God as it has been revealed in the latter day through the Prophet Joseph Smith. God will not condemn any man to utter destruction, neither shall any man be thrust down to hell irredeemably, until he has been brought to the possession of the greater light that comes through repentance and obedience to the laws and command ments of God; but if, after he has received light and knowledge, he shall Sin against that light and will not repent, then, indeed, he becomes a lost soul, a son of perdition! The question is often asked, Is there any difference between the Spirit of the Lord and the Holy Ghost? The terms are frequently used synonymously. We often say the Spirit of God when we mean the Holy Ghost; we likewise say the Holy Ghost when we mean the Spirit of God. The Holy Ghost is a personage in the Godhead and it is not that which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. It is the Spirit of God which proceeds through Christ to the world, that enlightens every man that comes into the world, and that strives with the children of men, and will continue to strive with them, until it brings them to a knowledge of the truth, and to the possession of the greater light and testimony of the Holy Ghost. If, however, he receive that greater light, and then sin against it, the Spirit of God will cease to strive with him, and the Holy Ghost will wholly depart from him. Then will he perse cute the truth; then will he seek the blood of the innocent; then will he not scruple at the commission of any crime, except so far as he may fear the penalties of the law, in consequence of the crime, upon himself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 65: August, 1903 On the way to the hotel We were surprised and interested by a custom that has since grown very familiar to us. Our cabman was evidently religious (though he did not scruple at demanding over twice the agreed and regular price at the end of the drive), and whenever he passed a church or shrine in the street he took off his strange-looking hat with his left hand, and made the sign of the cross with the right by touching his forehead, lower part of chest and shoulders. The falling rain did not deter him. Naturally this is an awkward thing for drivers to do, and many times they drop their reins for the moment while they attend to their worship. A curious coincidence at the hotel was that President Lyman found, shortly after becoming located, that in the adjoining room on one side Elder John F. Home was living and on the other Elder Kenneth Crismon had taken up his abode. These Elders from Germany had attended the dedication services at Christiania, and later visited Stockholm, thence sailing to St. Petersburg. Religious conditions among the Russians are naturally the most interesting subject to us, and to learn these was one of 'the motives President Lyman had for making the journey. There are many and conflicting currents of religion here; many that are deep and hidden which are not learned or understood without intimate association with the people. But in few places is it possible to see and at least partly understand the religion of the great majority. We went into the Kasan cathedral soon after arriving, and there saw a scene of most active worship. Russian churches have no seats, and there is room for the devotee to kneel or prostrate himself if he wishes. People of all classes were there. Beggars in their rags (their purpose being to obtain charity), the lame, the halt, the blind, laboring people, richly clad men and women, officers of the army, all kissed the same icons, made the cross and bowed before the images, and in some cases kneeled and touched their foreheads to the floor. One poor fellow, evidently with a heavy weight on his conscience, we noticed when we entered, making the cross, kneeling, bowing to the floor and rising again only to repeat the movements. During the whole time we were there he continued. The only thing to break the monotony of it was that some times he remained down for a few moments and smote his breast with his hand. The churches are open all day and the people come in and usually go out after a few moments' worship. 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. 65: July 9, 1903 In our dependence and according to our intelligence we sought to obey the law, whatever it might have been. This desire to become obedient also became a part of us, an inclination in our natures, the result of dependency. This condition has remained with us throughout our existence, for we are ever under a higher power. The desire to be obedient has at several periods in the ages flagged, owing to our own free Will and lack of knowledge of the yet latent higher intelligence which we are all striving to attain. But that spark of divinity which lies deep within our hearts lights us to obedience and keeps us, to a certain degree in the law. When Adam and the children of men became mortal a definite remembrance of their earlier existence was withheld from them, but the inclinations of their natures remained with them, and instincts, or higher feelings than instincts, whispered that they were from a divine source and subjects of a greater power. They also felt that a great plan or code of laws was prepared for them to follow. It was plain that in this plan there should be no contradiction. If having its origin with God, it must be perfect and the same, or a part of the same, arranged in the beginning. They were anxious to know the law, and through revelation they obtained a knowledge of it. They learned that they had been called to enter mortality and pass through it. They had known it before but had now no remembrance of that knowledge. Birth of the flesh is but obeying the great law long before decreed. It is that law which opens the door to mortality and grants citizenship in the same. All who are born prove, by their birth, that they have obeyed God's laws. Those who have not obeyed are devils and are denied the right of having mortal bodies. Again, birth is the entrance to a high school of preparation for future greatness. In this school the same obedience is required as was always required after a knowledge of the laws is obtained. Gradually these laws have been com prehended and gradually fulfilled. Our inner being, our conscience, tells us that birth is right, a holy law that permits no disrespect, and we accept it without question.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 65: November 26, 1903 Many of our devoted missionaries are valiantly striving to do their best, and to make their best better day by day; great is and greater yet shall be their reward. Others are lacking in energy and effort; their work is done, if at all, in a half-spirited way, and their thoughts are ever running ahead to the time of their release and return. To those of the first class the days are all too short and the months too few for the exalted labors in which they find such genuine satisfaction and happi ness. To the others the days drag and the weeks are burdensome. Saddening as it is to make the declaration, it is nevertheless true that there are idlers in the vineyard, who, under the spell of indolence and negligence, let the vines in their care go unpruned and untended. For such there is little satisfaction and less true happiness in the work that means so much for them and for others. It is a matter of righteous pride and pure ambition among our young people - young men particularly - to hold a missionary's certificate of appoint ment, with its appended honorable release. To have won such honestly the holder must have been valiant while in the service. 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. 65: July 16, 1903 Standing in the midst of the family of spiritual beings in heaven before this world was ready for mortal habitation, God recognized that there were some more advanced than others, more worthy of special trust and assignment to responsible stations on earth. These, said He, I will make my rulers. What was true of individuals as to their calling to particular work was true also in a collective sense of tribes and races. Hence we find that preferment was given to a chosen group of spirits who were assigned to come through a Special lineage - the lineage of faithful Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. These are known on earth as the children of Israel. From the commencement of human history they were cared for in the designs of the Creator, for When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when He separated the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel (deut. Xxx'ii: Not only. Does this passage from Moses' song of praise show the foreknow ledge of the Father as to the number of His offspring who should tabernacle as Israelites, but it makes clear that in His plans respecting this earth a position so important was assigned to the chosen people that the earth was divided among those who were to possess it in a way that would leave sufficient space in the best lands for the children of Israel to be nurtured and sustained. Egypt was the cradle and Palestine the nursery of this chosen people. The world has become their dwelling place. In ways most marvelous the Almighty gave them possession of the land of Canaan. He did it with manifestations of power so grand that one would have thought the people never could have forsaken the God who thus had blessed them. But they did. It was known that they would. There was a design even in their apostasy. St. Paul says that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the times of the Gentiles be come in (rom. Xi.
