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.

He had sought for that faith in a number of the leading churches; but had sought in vain. And not only that, but the love which reigned in the hearts of the primitive saints, which found expression in their daily lives, and by which Christ said all men would know that they were His disciples, was also lacking. Like the woman in the Savior's parable who had lost a piece of money and who after diligent search had found it, so he, after searching for years for the primitive Christian faith and the primi tive Christian love, had at last found them in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His first testimony concerning the truth of the gospel taught by the Latter-day Saints was the testi mony of love which he saw the members of the Church bestow up on each other. So you see, brethren and sisters, we can all be missionaries. We cannot all leave our work and go out and distribute tracts; we cannot all stand up and preach, but this we all can do, we can love one another, and this will be a testimony to the world of the truth of Mormonism against which there can be no argument.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 71: January 7, 1909 The elders of the Church have labored zealously and faithfully to proclaim the message of life and salvation, both of a temporal and spiritual nature, in all of their mission fields, and have done much towards the establishment of truth and brotherly love; for the Spirit of peace, justice, mercy and righteousness emanates from the elders and spreads abroad upon the people among whom they labor. Their mission is one of well-doing and love for their fellow-men. They carry unto the people the gospel of Christ, which through obedience to its precepts will save and exalt them in His kingdom, that will eventually be established and have uni versal sway throughout the earth as the ancient prophets have foretold.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 71: October 28, 1909 There are things, in connection with this subject, that would not perhaps, be proper to speak of here, before a large and mixed con gregation: but I want to sound a warning to the Latter-day Saints. The time has come for them to look after their children. Every device possible to the understanding and ingenuity of cun ning men, is being used for the purpose of diverting our children from the faith of the gospel and from the love of the truth. Every species of organization is being formed, both in our midst and abroad, having for its object the express purpose of leading astray the children of the Latter-day Saints, because they can't reach their parents. This is their argument: We cannot convert the adult Mormon people, but we may, perhaps, convert their children; we may lead away their children; we do not hope to lead away the Old people. They can't do it, except it may be, now and then, a man or woman who never did know anything parti cularly about the gospel. These, only, are they who can be led away from the truth; and our children can be led away from their parents and from the faith of the gospel, only when they are in a condition that they know not the truth for themselves, not having been taught it, not having had a proper example before them to impress it upon their minds.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 71: November 4, 1909 The first passage of Scripture quoted under the belief-alone theory in this article, is quite plainly but the introduction of the principle of faith as a necessary factor in the plan of salvation, for in the twenty-second verse of the same chapter, we read: After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judea, and there he tarried with them, and baptized. Again in the same chapter, verses three and five, it is recorded: Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. Add to these important sayings, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 71: April 8, 1909 It is the same with the Prophet Joseph Smith and the Latter-day Saints. It is the gospel of the Son of God, revealed anew in this last dispensation, that has made the name of that man immortal, and the saints the people that they are. Without it, in all proba bility the name of Joseph Smith would not have been known out side the locality in which he resided. Scarcely a day passes with out adding lustre to the name of the latter-day prophet, and as the years go by it will become more and more illustrious. It was the same with President Brigham Young. It was Mormonism, or the gospel of Jesus Christ, which made him the great and mighty man that he was. The-same may be said of all the succeeding presidents of the Church and also of the Latter-day Saints as a whole. In their lives the power of the gospel has been plainly made manifest. What a change the gospel of Christ has Wrought in the lives of tens of thousands of men and women in these latter days; through obedience to its holy principles they have been literally regenerated, born again, made new creatures in Christ Jesus, so that they are able to say with Paul, we are not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation. How could we feel ashamed of that which has done so much for us? Well might the Savior say, He that is ashamed of me before men of him will I be ashamed before my Father and before the angels. What have we to be ashamed of, brethren and sisters? Nothing under the sun. On the contrary, we have much to -be proud of. IS the great revelation which the Father and the Son have given of themselves in this dispensation something, to be ashamed of? Verily, no. Think of the state of ignorance from which that glorious manifestation has delivered hundreds of thousands of the human family. What erroneous and absurd ideas we entertained concerning our Father in heaven before the glad tidings of that new revelation reached us. Before, we worshiped we knew not what; now we worship God intelligently, in Spirit and in truth. 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. 71: June 17, 1909 Moralists and students of human nature are agreed that most vices are close kindred. 'users of tobacco are often users of liquor and other stimulants. It would be a rare thing to find a user of tobacco Who is not a user of intoxicating drinks or some stimulating drug. Those who profane the name of Deity are in most cases lax in morals in other ways, so that we may safely conclude that all evil has a common source, the evil that destroys the mind as well as the evil that destroys the body.

This book was released on 2018-10-06 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 71: May 6, 1909 The life of the Book of Mormon is thus seen to hang suspended, as it were, upon the use of a compromising word, a single reference with a distinct modern coloring only, or we might say, the careless slip of a pen. But blunders of this character (so easily made in a spurious work simulating the character of the Book of Mormon) are not found in it. Multitudes of instances of the kind just noticed, and every one of them affording an' Opportunity for dis grace and ruin, swarm about the pathway of any man, unlearned or learned, who dares attempt the task of writing by his own power the history of an ancient people without having a scrap of their authentic history for a guide. Let us now imagine Joseph Smith, a young man, unlearned, un schooled, wholly untrained for writing a book of any kind, not to mention the unusual difficulties and dangers connected with a work like the Book of Mormon, attempting to compose the latter as a religious romance, or a purposed fraud. His knowledge of all ancient matters amounts practically to nothing. (how defiant it was for him to choose the field of which he knew the least for his operations 1) There are limits, or boundaries between the ancient and the modern which he cannot pass, and still retain for a moment the confidence of his fellow-men as an inspired translator of ancient records. We see him reach the line between safety on the one side and discredit and disgrace on the other. This line of separation is sometimes almost invisible, and as he reaches it the impetus of his progress seems sufficient to bear him onward to ruin as a word or two will do the work; but he pauses at the proper point, always pauses there, and some people try to explain his course, or account for his preservation, on one contradictory theory or another, ever failing to perceive that if Joseph Smith were such a man as his opponents claim, he would doubtless have plunged headlong into the first one of these pitfalls that lay hidden from him but so directly in his way.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 71: December 9, 1909 The signs of the times point to a future rejection of many of the present teachings of Christendom. In the great conflict between science and the religion or theology of the world, where do we find enrolled the scientific minds? With science, every time, and in a position which is deadly antagonistic to a theology, which, among the rest of its tenets, teaches the creation of new matter out of nothing. The inrush of knowledge and truth has proved its nu stability and it is but a matter of time until the people as a whole will recognize, as have the thinking and scientific minds, that the doctrine is indigestible and that the churches must disgorge it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 71: February 18, 1909 According to the prophet, it is the knowledge of the Lord that is to bring about that blessed condition. By the knowledge of God he meant not only a knowledge of His personality, his charac ter and attributes, but also of all the principles of righteousness. To the Latter-day Saints, of all other people, these words give the greatest encouragement. They give us the assurance that the knowledge of the true God which has been restored to the World through the personal appearance of the Father and the Son to the Prophet Joseph Smith, shall ultimately fill the earth as the waters cover the sea; that the power and influence of the ever lasting gospel which has been restored to earth in these last days shall increase and spread abroad, that it shall prevail over the creeds and systems of men, and shall ultimately bring about uni versal happiness. What a pleasing thing it is to know, brethren and sisters, that the work in which we are engaged was founded by God Himself, that we are carrying out the Divine plan, that we are co-partners with our Father in heaven for the establishing of His kingdom in the earth, a kingdom which He has declared shall never be thrown down, nor given to another people. Knowing all this, there should not be the least room in the hearts or minds of any of us for doubt concerning the final triumph of the great latter-day work. To be sure, there is much in the world to discourage us and to cause us to almost doubt the Divine promises. The earth is full of ignorance, superstition and corruption but surely it is not beyond the power of Him who brought order out of chaos, light out of dark ness to redeem His children from their lost and fallen state? That is the work which He has set about to accomplish, and it shall be accomplished, for with the Almighty there is no such thing as failure. That is the work in which we are engaged, and with God Himself at the back of it, with the favor and blessing of heaven on its side its success is assured.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 71: March 4, 1909 NO sooner had the young man, Joseph Smith, announced to the world that he had received a revelation from God than clergy and laity united in persecuting him. All manner Of falsehoods were coined and circulated about the inoffensive youth, in order to over throw his testimony. These failing, more extreme measures were resorted to: he was stripped and beaten, tarred and feathered and time after time thrown into prison. All this, remember, was done by people who called themselves Christians, and simply because the Object of their wrath continued to testify that God had heard and answered his prayer. But as none of these things were able to bring about the desired result, it was finally decided to put him to death. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. He and his beloved brother were murdered in cold blood by a mob, led by a minister of one of the sectarian churches. These were some Of the methods which were employed by Christians to get Latter-day Saints to renounce their faith and to put an end to Mormonism. A similar fate hefel many of the prophet's followers, while hundreds were driven from their homes, their crops destroyed and their property confiscated. They sought refuge in the land of the heathen, among savage Indians, and there they received much better treatment than they had received while dwelling among so called Christians. Heaven smiled upon them again; the blessings Of the Lord attended their labors, and in a little while they were once more comfortably settled in their own homes enjoying the good things of the earth and the still better things Of heaven. Think Of what happened then! Why with the record Of the terrible treatment which the Mormons had received before them, several religious societies in the East actually sent mission aries to Utah to convert them to their faith. Is it any wonder their work proved a miserable failure and that they were unable to make converts? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
