Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 68: July 19, 1906 On the fact of the inspiration of the prophets and apostles of the Lord, the early fathers were unanimous, and they quoted copiously from their writings in support of their own teachings. But on the question of how God inspired them, they were not clear, and perhaps that is one reason why some of those excellent men fell into the absurd error of regarding the verses of the pagan sibyls as also divinely inspired. Though these sibyls were no better than our gipsy fortune tellers, Justin, Clement of Alexandria, Athenagoras, Theophilus of Antioch, Origin, Tertullian, and even Augustine, quote them so earnestly that the early Christians were derisively called sibyllists. Had they had a clearer appreciation of the nature of divine inspiration, they would perhaps not have fallen in this peculiar error.

Now it is a scriptural fact that Adam did not die in twenty-four hours after partaking of the fruit. We find that he lived to be nearly a thousand years old. We may gather from this that a day with the Lord may be a great period of time with us. As the forces have acted on the earth during these periods, they have tended to make the earth a better dwelling place for mankind. As man has progressed, so the earth has progressed to meet his demands. Through the countless years, rivers have been formed which make commerce easier for man. The eruptions which have taken place, and the action of water in wear ing the crust of the earth down have made it possible for man to gain access to the minerals which are so needful to him; and thus we can see how the earth is bettering itself for the abode of man. Every atom of matter must fill the measure of its creation. Man expects through the Gospel plan to become perfect even as God is perfect. Man came here upon the earth to gain a schooling that was necessary to advance him up the scale of progression. This earth was made for this express purpose, and since it has been progress ing with man thus far, why will it not progress further? Man looks forward to being resurrected and becoming an immortal being. Paul said, If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. This is true. Man's thoughts go beyond the grave, possibly to some imaginary heaven on some other planet. If this earth was made for man, why not this earth be the planet? I do not mean in the con dition it is now, but in a condition that would be fit for exaltation. If man is resurrected, why may not the earth also be regenerated and become the abode of immortals? Why should we think to live on another planet when this earth has nourished us while going through our schooling? The Savior, in speaking to the apostles of future glory said, I say unto you, ye which have followed me in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. The word regeneration means to change, or a new birth. Peter also voices this same thought. When speaking to the people at Solomon's temple, he said, Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the time of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; and he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you; whom the heaven must receive until the time of the resti tution of all things.

His first appearance, as far as we have any record, was in the world preceding this, and this earth-life is the second stage in his existence. He is gradually rising and growing in intelligence, and will continue to do so, worlds upon worlds, until he becomes perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

This book was released on 2018-01-21 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 68: June 7, 1906 In Portland, on February 4, we baptized seven souls, and last Sunday we baptized three others. We went around the mission baptizing people every where. We made an opening in the city of Vancouver, B. C., where about eighteen people applied for baptism, whereas two years ago we could not get a hearing there at all. In the city of Spokane, in Washington, where for a time we withdrew the Elders because of the indifference manifested, the Lord has poured out His Spirit upon the people since the Elders have come back there, and His providence has been manifested until the spirit that is leading some of the people indicates that we shall reap a harvest in that town. One man who had a Latter-day Saint wife, and had prevented her from making her membership known to the Elders, lost her by death. He had in his family six children, partly grown. His wife's last request was that he would hunt up the Mormon Elders that they might perform the funeral services and preach the discourses. He hunted up two of the boys that had been in the mission but a few months. They were bashful young men, with stammering tongues, and he asked them if they would come and perform the duties of the funeral services over his wife. They were so frightened when they promised to do it that they fasted and prayed for two days, and then when they went to the funeral, their tongues were loosed, and the Spirit and power rested upon them until the hearts of the people in the congregation were melted. The husband came seeking forgiveness that he had manifested such a spirit of bitterness against the Saints, and invited his children to come with him. They became investigators of Mormonism, and the last I heard, a week ago, they had given in their names for baptism. A lady twelve miles out of that city, whose husband we have baptized, sent him to find the Elders, as she had discovered something with which she could overturn Mormonism, and she wanted first to show the Elders the error of their ways, and then she intended to go about and influence the neighborhood against the work that the Elders had been doing. When they had engaged in conversation about four hours, her oldest son arose and said, Mother, instead of your proving that Mormonism is wrong, by your conversation you have proved to my brother and I that it is divine, and if the water is not too cold for Elder Holliday, he can baptize me to-morrow morning. Elder Holliday led the young man into the water the next day, and confirmed him a member of the Church in the presence of his mother.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 68: March 15, 1906 Let me say to our young men who are here studying different branches of learning: Hunt up your friends; associate with your brethren and sisters. DO not pull away from them; do not keep yourselves aloof from them. GO to their meetings. Go to the presiding authorities and talk with them. Say to them, Here I am. If you can use me for any good, do so. If I have talent and ability to do anything you want me to do to roll on the work of the Lord and to convince the honest in heart of the truth we have received, here I am, ready to be used for the accomplishment of God's purposes whenever it is possible for me to get away from my studies. Now, boys, do this. Remem ber the Old saying, that it is not all of life to live; nor is it all of death to die. There is something more in life than the mere living - eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die. Men will be held accountable before the great Judge Of the quick and the dead for the deeds done in the flesh. You cannot avoid that. You are not here by chance. You came here by the will of God, according to His design, to fulfil His purposes; and you came here without Seeking it yourself, so far as this world is concerned. You are entities; you have living souls within you; and you will be raised' from the dead just as sure as Jesus Christ was raised from the dead. As sure as by Adam you die.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 68: June 28, 1906 The Prophet's prediction that there was a Judas in their midst soon proved too true, and there were more than one. William Law, Joseph's second counselor, William Marks, president of the Nauvoo Stake, with many other leading men proved themselves false to Joseph and the Church. They even planned with Joseph's enemies to have him killed. They were also proved guilty of other were soon cut off from the Church. Joseph's times of peace were not many nor very long. Apostates were his worst enemies, and they were all the time annoying him by having him ar rested upon all kinds of charges. These men were very bitter, and howled around him like a pack of wolves, eager to devour him; but Joseph trusted in the Saints, and they in him, for those who were faithful to their duties knew by the Spirit of God that Joseph was not a fallen prophet as his enemies claimed. In June, 1844, the enemies of the Saints began to publish a paper in Nau voo called the Expositor. Its purpose was to deprive the people of Nauvoo of their rights, so it boldly said. One number was printed, and that was so full of false statements and abuse against the city officials that the city council declared it a nuisance and had the press, type, etc., destroyed. This raised great excitement among the enemies of the Church. Joseph and seventeen others were arrested, tried before a court in Nauvoo, and ac quited; but this did not satisfy the mobbers. On the advice of the United States judge for that district, Joseph and his brethren allowed themselves to be arrested again, and they had a trial before Justice Daniel H. Wells, then not a Mormon. They were again discharged as innocent of any crime. 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. 68: August 30, 1906 I sincerely hope that the children will love their parents, hearken to their counsel, honor their fathers and their mothers that their days may be long in the land which the Lord their God shall give to them. It is destined by the wisdom of the Lord and His Gospel principles that fathers and mothers shall live pure lives together, that their children may be united with them, and that the affections that exist between them may reach to the grave and to the world to come. The Lord has planted in the human heart one of His own attributes, which is immortal love. We Shall never forget our fathers who have passed behind the veil, nor our mothers, nor our children. The love that we feel for them is not a love that pertains to this world alone, but it is des tined to bloom more freely in the world to come. Then let us exercise that love and charity that forgiveth, and that will bring to us the affection of those with whom we are associated, that we may be united in the bond of that greatest law of God - to love God with all our hearts, and like unto it, our neighbor as ourselves. These young Elders have come out here to preach the Gospel. They have left comfortable homes and fathers and mothers; some of them have wives and children, and what have they in view? What object have they? Simply to carry the message to the world that the Lord has Spoken from the heavens again in our own days; that God has restored His Holy Priesthood, which is the authority of God delegated to man by which man can act in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, and administer in all the ordinances of the Gospel acceptably to the Lord. It is not the design or mission of these Elders to tear down your beliefs, to make any kind of assault upon you; but it is their business to come to you and show you the greater light, that your eyes may be opened, that your ears may be unstopped, that your hearts may be touched with a love for the truth, that if you have been guilty of wrongdoing you may forsake it and turn unto the Lord, learn of His ways and walk in His paths. It is against the principles of our Church to try to persuade a husband to forsake his family or to slacken his love or care for them, but it is the law of the Church to induce men to be more true and faithful to their wives and to their families. It is not their purpose to per suade women to leave their husbands or families for the Gospel's sake. They have not come here to sow discord among you or to cause differences or co'n tentions, but simply to preach the plain teachings of life and truth and leave the results in your hands.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 68: May 3, 1906 Parents are thus made responsible, as they certainly should be, for the proper training of their children. AS soon as they manifest the capacity to obtain knowledge, instruction that will lead them eternal life should be given. The introduction to the process of becoming saved is plain and simple: faith in God and His Son Jesus Christ, repentance of sins, etc. Had Joseph Smith neglected to provide ample means for the education of children, his system would have been very incomplete. Had he placed more emphasis on the study of history, language, geography, etc., than on the ele mentary conditions of obtaining divine knowledge, he would have simply followed well established precedents. Having, however, established a proper foundation, he goes on to explain that his students must be conducted into all the fields of knowledge. They are not to be so captivated with the beauty and dignity of the spiritual idea as to become impracticable. On the other hand, his system provides that the justification of the practical is found in its inestimable contributions to the ideal. His students are not to be seduced by the wealth and Splendor of the means of life. 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. 68: August 2, 1906 Beyond lay the broad plains where the savage red men roamed; the immense stretch of unoccupied country out of which Nebraska, Kansas, the Dakotas, Colorado, Wyoming, and other states of the Union have since been formed; the western and greater part of the wide tract known as the Louisiana Pur chase, ceded to the federal government by France in 1803. Farther on were the snow-capped mountains and sun-parched plateaus of the Great American Desert, owned at that time by Mexico, but soon to pass, along with some fertile sections, into the possession of our great and growing republic, which had even then started upon the final stage of its triumphant march to the sea. A few thousand Americans had found their way across these dreary plains and yet more dreary plateaus, and had settled among the Spaniards and Indians along the Pacific coast. Most of these emigrants were in Oregon, which included the present state of Washington, and was claimed by Great Britain; while the remainder were in California, then a Mexican province, comprising not only our sister state of that name, but also Utah, Nevada, and other barren parts. New Mexico, another province of our neighbor nation, took in Arizona. Up to the year 1847, no white man had made a permanent home in the desolate region reaching for hundreds of miles, leagues upon leagues, in every direction, from the sterile shores of the Great Salt Lake, the Dead sea of America. A few wandering mountaineers, living in lonely log forts with Indian wives, baiting the bear, trapping the beaver, and fur-trading between the Rocky mountains and the military posts on the far-away frontier, were the only civilized dwellers in the midst of these silent solitudes. Just how civilized they were, some of my hearers will be able to remember. The last company of California-bound emigrants for the season of 1846 - the ill-fated Donner party - after passing the Wasatch mountains and crossing the desert south and west of the lake, had perished miserably in the early snows at the eastern base of the Sierras.
