Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 68: November 22, 1906 Now, the testimony of Joseph Smith is not one whit more strange than was the testimony of Noah. Noah testified that the Lord had given him a revelation in which He called him to go forth and cry repentance to the people of his generation. Joseph Smith claims to have received a similar commission, and future events will prove that as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of Man the testimony of Joseph Smith will be confirmed. It is strange, but true. It was the same with Joseph, the son of Jacob: the Lord revealed to him that he would in the course of time become a great and mighty man, a ruler among his people. How was his testimony received, even by the members of his own family? It was ridiculed; his brothers made mock of him; when they saw him coming they pointed their fingers at him and said: Behold, the dreamer cometh! Even his father was slow to believe him when he testified of the things which the Lord had revealed to him in a dream. Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? Asked the patriarch of his son, in an incredulous tone. It was such a strange thing that he could not believe it. But the day came when the Lord vindicated the truth of the boy's testimony, and exalted him far above those who had mocked him, so that they came and bowed down before him and begged forgiveness of him. His testimony was strange, but it was true. Is it necessary for us to remind people that history often repeats itself? The Lord sent an angel to Cornelius to tell him what he ought to do to be saved. Why He did not send angels to many other people as well as to Cornelius we are unable to say. The Lord knows His own business, and seeks not the counsel of any man. His ways are not as man's ways, neither are His thoughts as man's thoughts. No doubt the testimony of Cornelius was as strange to the people in his day as is the testimony of Joseph Smith to the people of the present day. It was strange, but true. Fools mock in their ignorance while the meek and humble rejoice in the knowledge which they have received from the Lord concerning the great and marvellous work which He has set up in the earth in these latter times - a marvellous work and a wonder, truly.

Book The Latter Day Saints  Millennial Star  Vol  68

Download or read book The Latter Day Saints Millennial Star Vol 68 written by Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saint Church and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-02-19 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 68: September 27, 1906 The volume which, by way 'of eminence, has the general name of The Bible is well known to be a collection of books of various authors, written at dis tant intervals and on different Occasions; but all supposed to teach, either directly or figuratively, the practice of piety, and the means of man's accept ance with his Creator. There is a general division of these writings into two parts, namely, those which relate to the old covenant, and those which relate to the new, commonly called the. Old and the New Testament. It may be best to begin the survey of these writings with the New Testament. Before any book, professing to relate facts, can be entitled to credit, the authenticity and veracity must be established. N ow there is no book in the world Of equal age, whose authenticity is established upon firmer ground than the New Testament 3 so that if a sceptic, unable to withstand the arguments which it affords in favor Of Christianity, should be disposed to reject it, he must be driven to the absurdity Of rejecting all the historians of the same age 3 a piece of folly which would disgrace a school-boy. The apostles and evangelists were competent witnesses, and could not be deceived in the facts which they recorded. They do not pretend to give us an account Of the transactions done in remote countries, or which had hap pened in ages before their time, but Of those which they had themselves witnessed with their eyes and with their ears. They had lived with Christ during His ministry 3 they had heard His discourses; they had seen His wonderful works, and consequently received them on the testimony of their own senses. If Plato has been deemed a competent witness, and in every respect qualified to compose the biographical account Of his master Socrates, and of his discourses in prison, because he was present on these occasions, surely the evangelical writers are competent witnesses of the facts which they relate. For they were neither enthusiasts nor fanatics. And as they could not be deceived themselves, so they neither would nor did deceive others. They were men Of probity and piety, who abominated a lie. They could Ob tain neither pleasure, honor, nor profit in this world, by obtruding falsehoods on mankind; but on the contrary, they were exposed to the loss of all these, and even Of life itself, for being preachers of the doctrine of the Cross, and' bearing witness to the truth of Christianity.

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: 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.

This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 68: November 15, 1906 I want to say something to you about Elder Heber J. Grant, one of the Twelve Apostles, a man of brilliant mind, a man with one of the most active, energetic makeups, I believe, that I ever knew in my life. He simply cannot keep still, and it is a wonder to me how he holds out, because he spends a great deal of his nights in reading and walking about, and all that sort of thing, and sleeps only about half as much as an ordinary man ought to sleep. Yet the Lord has preserved him, and it is the duty of the Elders of this mission to hearken unto him and respect him in his position. Every one of you ought to do that. Now, another thing, when President Heber J. Grant comes to this conference or to this meeting it is his right to say to the presi dent oi the branch, I will take charge of this meeting here to-day. He does not need to be asked to do it. He can say, I will do it, or he can appoint one to take charge of the meetings. Why? Because he is the presiding officer, and it is not right to think or to entertain the thought for a moment that he cannot go into any branch or conference in this mission-and take charge whenever he wants to. It is not like a regular stake or ward in Zion. And yet it is right, when one of the apostles is sent to a stake or ward of Zion, to go and say, Here bishop, I will take charge here now. I have been sent here for such and such 'a purpose. He has a right to do it. I saw in certain places that the presiding officer did not seem to understand his position. I want to 'say that President Heber J. Grant is the presiding officer of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Great Britain, and this is the position unto which he has been called, and you should always refer things to him. When he comes to this branch the president of the branch should say, Now, Brother Heber, you will please take the work into your own hands. President Grant can then do as he thinks best.

This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 68: January 18, 1906 IT is remarkable how the Lord raises up friends to His servants while they are engaged in the ministry. In whatever part of the world they may labor, the Latter-day Saint missionaries meet with those who befriend them in a most unexpected manner. People that become thus friendly are sometimes those who are earnestly seeking the truth and are interested in the Gospel message, at other times they do not accept the Gospel, but continue to remain friendly with the Elders, and go to considerable trouble and expense, and at times even risk their lives, to assist and defend them. To do this it often requires not only considerable physical courage but moral courage as well, owing to the unpopularity of the Mormon missionaries and their doctrines. The only way to account for the friendship shown by such persons is to ac knowledge that the Lord has wrought upon their hearts to assist His servants who are dependent upon Him for support. Upon one occasion when the Prophet Joseph Smith was arrested upon a trumped up charge, a lawyer was influenced to defend him in court through hearing a mysterious, audible voice commanding him to do so. The writer remembers meeting a gentleman in England who had made it a practice of defending the doctrines taught by the Latter-day Saints, and of assisting the Elders whenever he met them. He carried a well-worn Ready Reference with him, and was well posted on our doctrines. His business took him to various parts of the country, and in his travels he would occasion ally meet our missionaries, attend the services, and sometimes hire meeting halls for them.

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.
