Excerpt from Improvement Era, Vol. 23: February, 1920 O God, the Eternal Father, we, thy servants and handmaid ens, thank thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, thy well-beloved Son, with all the power of our being, that we are privileged this day to be present in this beautiful land, to dedicate unto thy Most Holy Name, a temple of the Living God. We thank thee, O God, the Eternal Father, that thou and thy Son, Jesus Christ, didst visit the boy, Joseph Smith, J r., and that he was instructed by thee, and by thy beloved Son. We thank thee that thou didst send thy servant, John the Baptist, and that he did lay his hands upon Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery and ordain them to the Aaronic, or Lesser Priesthood. We thank thee for sending thy servants Peter, James, and John, apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ, who ministered with the Savior in the flesh and after his crucifixion, and that they did ordain thy servants Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery apos tles of the Lord Jesus Christ, and bestowed upon them the Holy Melchizedek Priesthood, by which authority and apostleship we do dedicate unto thee, this day, this holy edifice. We thank thee for the integrity and the devotion of thy servants, the Prophet and Patriarch, Joseph Smith and Hyrum Smith. We thank thee that they labored all the days of their lives, from the time of the restitution of the Gospel of Jesus Christ until the day of their martyrdom, and that they sealed their testimony with their blood.

Excerpt from The Improvement Era, Vol. 23: May, 1920 When in Los Angeles a couple of years ago, I attended a street meeting with the elders of our Church, and, when it was over, engaged in conversation with a listener who seemed quite favorably impressed with what had been said. But, said be, there is one thing that has always prevented my acceptance of Christianity, and that is the doctrine of the atonement. I cannot understand how an allwise, omnipotent God could be the Author of a plan of human redemption involving the humil ation, abasement, and physical suffering of his only-begotten and dearly beloved Son. Being all powerful, why did he not, the stranger asked, devise some other and easier means of ao complishing the same result? My answer was, that a God, omnipotent and omniscient, could and did devise the very best plan for the accomplishment of the desired purpose, and that the scriptures conclusively proved the atonement, as accepted by us, to be that divine plan. But this was not altogether sufficient to overcome his skepticism. There is, of course, a deeper meaning and purpose in the. Atonement than the average mortal can comprehend. Nor is it necessary to our belief therein that we should understand all about it. The Savior told the people in his day that if they would do the will of the Father, they would know of the doc trine whether it be of God or not, without knowing all the whys and wherefores connected therewith. The whole gospel plan is founded upon faith and obedience, terms that in their final analysis, are synonomous when applied thereto. It was not the waters of Jordan that healed the leaper; nor is it the waters of baptism that cleanses us from sin but our obedience to the heav auly requirement. There are some things connected with the atonement, however, that we can understand, and to me they are very beautiful.

Wesley E. King has asked the Leader to make a statement to the people of Pittsburgh in regard to his presence in the city. Maj. King states that unfounded reports in circulation are harmful to Utah and Salt Lake City, and for that reason he was sent here by the Commercial Club, of Salt Lake City, to deny these rumors.

Excerpt from Improvement Era, Vol. 24: December, 1920 If you were to journey to Massachusetts today and were to go out on the long fish hook shaped point of land known as Cape Cod, you would find on the low sandy sea shore a little village called Provincetown. In this little village, on November 11, 1620, the Pilgrim Fathers, after a most trying voyage of sixty-seven days, first set foot on American soil and thus founded the great American nation of Which you and I justly are so proud. Forty days later, on December 21, 1620, the Pilgrims stepped ashore at Plymouth Rock and actually made the first permanent settlement; but Provincetown. Must ever be granted first claim as the place where the Pilgrims actually first planted foot on this continent.

Excerpt from Improvement Era, Vol. 23: September, 1920 Something of the life of the pe0p1e in the early days of Utah is described by Eliza R. Snow. She says: Our first winter in the mountains was delightful; the ground froze but little; our coldest weather was three or four days in November, after which the men plowed and sowed, built houses, etc. The weather seemed to have been particularly ordered to meet our very peculiar circumstances. Every labor, such as cultivating the ground, procuring fuel and timber from the canyons, etc., was a matter of 'experiment. Most of us were house less; and what the result would have. Been, bad that winter been like the succeeding ones, may well be conjectured. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Improvement Era, Vol. 23: November, 1919 Why should we mourn or think our lot is hard? 'tis not so; all is right! Why should we think to earn a great reward, If we now shun the fight? The trouble with a great many people is, -they are not will ing to pay the price; they are not willing to make the fight for success in the battle of life. They are much like the people of whom I read in Brother N. L. Nelson's book on preaching which I happened to open one day, and I read about people taking literally the instructions to take no thought of what one should say; and Brother Nelson Wrote that many of those who took no thought at all never said much, as they were going contrary to the teaching, that we were to prepare ourselves; and he says, regarding the people who take no thought, that when they speak they ought to say, Oh, Lord, here I am. I have a mouth and a pair of lungs that I will loan thee for a brief sea son; fill me with wisdom that I may edify the people, which he seldom does.
