Book Description
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 76: December 10, 1914 Thou hast inspired Thy prophets in days of old, and in these latter days, to predict that the day would come when men would cease their strife and would study war no more, when they would turn their weapons of destruction into agencies of peace for the cultivation of the earth and for the development of its resources, and we pray, our Father, that that time may be hastened. Wilt Thou look down in mercy upon the rulers of the nations, upon all who have part in the conduct of human affairs in the various governments in the world, and cause Thy Divine Spirit to shine upon their understandings and to touch their hearts that they may feel the absolute need of establishing peace on earth, drawing the people of the world together in fraternity instead of going forth upon the field of battle to 'destroy each other's lives.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 76: June 4, 1914 So that, it appears distinctly that it is the young women who are most inclined to follow the outsider, and to become associated in marriage with non-believers, which is a pity. The number of members of the Church divorced during the year is 163; of this number 59 had been married in the temples, and 104 by civil ceremony. I think that here is a point Worthy of observation by the Latter day Saints. Men and women who become united in the holy bonds of wedlock, according to the rites and ceremonies of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, enter into that solemn relation ship with better understanding of the duties and responsibilities of marriage than others do, because they are taught more fully the facts in the case. There were excommunicated from the Church, in the stakes of Zion, 55 persons. Mostly, I suppose, for being carried away by every wind of doctrine. We have some foolish people who take up with any chimera, or foolish notion that anybody may advance to them. They are to be pitied. Baptisms into the Church, of children and adults, within the stakes, numbered 35 to the thousand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 76: April 16, 1914 Joseph Smith, a poor boy with no education, says he saw heavenly visions, and on the strength of those manifestations founded 'a Church which during his life made rapid progress in the world, and after his death continued with unabated vigor to gain in numbers and general prosperity. N 0 one disputes the fact that the Church was an outgrowth of his work, and few refuse to admit that he died for the testimony he bore. The explanation of the work he founded and the manner in which he bravely suffered hardship and death for his conviction is what the world is seeking to-day.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 76: August 13, 1914 Do we owe Him so little that we can afford to pass our time In comfort and ease, caring nothing for the greater and better things of life - nothing for the laws which Christ laid down for our sal vation? Is it not better by far to be live fish going against the stream - if we may find peace, happiness and love at the end - than to go with the stream, and fail to realize the purpose of our creation? Shall we be of the world, and regret forever that we have not attained to what we might have been through our failure to improve the opportunities that have been offered to us? Our eyes are open, free agency is given to all, and two roads lie before us from which to choose. I need not say where the respective roads lead, for this we all know, and if we would but make a care ful study of the matter, we will know which is the better way. But I am wandering from my subject, the fatherhood of God, and I will now return to it. For some time past I have been searching for scriptural texts that are pertinent to my leading thought, and by the time we have read a few of them we will see that never for a moment was the fatherhood of God absent from the mind of Christ. On one occasion, when speaking of the love of God for mankind, taking a little child to Himself, He said, Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish (matt. 18: And another passage reads: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved (john 3: 16.

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 76: Thursday, September 17, 1914 There is no great need, I think, to invoke the arm of the law in England against Mormonism. If the light is once let in upon it it will die of itself. The moral sense of English men and women will rise against it. It is my earnest hope that Miss Graham's literary skill may prove efficacious in the crusade in which she has played so notable and so noble a part.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 76: November 26, 1914 In conclusion, let it be borne in mind that to Mormonism has been assigned the sacred and important duty of making possible the salvation of both living and dead. When we compare the countless numbers of dead with the comparatively few who still live, we see not only the universal application of the gospel of Christ, but we are forced to admit that this essential counterpart of the plan of salvation has not been receiving the attention which we, individually, should render it. One of the unique features of Mormonism is, that each one of us, even the weakest, has illimitable opportunities for service in the accomplishment of that great ideal - the exaltation of the human family. The vital ques tion is, then, Are we doing our part? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 76: February 26, 1914 AS there are so many falsehoods told about the Latter-day Saints, I thought it might do some good to hear the truth from one that has just returned from Salt Lake City. I have been a member of the Mormon Church for fourteen years, and ever since I joined it I have had a desire to go to Utah. However, it has not been my lot to make my home there so far, but I am thankful to say that the way was opened for me last summer to go 011 a visit to that place for six months. My youngest daughter and I sailed on the Corsican, May 3lst, 1913, and We returned 011 the Victorian, November 26th, 1913, and I can say that I never enjoyed anything so much in my life as I did that visit to Utah. 've stayed with my married daughter, who has lived in Salt Lake City for over five years. I found her very happy, and she just loves her mountain home. Her husband, who is a native of Penrith, England, has a good situation, and is making good wages. They told me that they never have wished to return to England to live; but they intend to make a visit to this land in the near future.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 76: March 19, 1914 No greater refutation of Bishop Ryle's false teaching is neces sary. If the members of the Church need to be perfected; if the body of Christ needs edifying; if it is the desire of the Lord that we come to a unity of the faith, and to a knowledge of the Son of God; if it is necessary for us to be kept from being tossed to and fro and carried about with every. Wind of doctrine, then inspired ministers are necessary in the Church of Christ. The reason that the Christian world is in the deplorable condition it is at the present time, is because it has been for many hundreds of years without an inspired ministry. Yet in the face of this terrible con dition, Bishop Ryle says inspired officers are not necessary. Now, dear reader, which of these men do you consider a true servant of god-joseph Smith, who advocates the necessity of an inspired ministry, and who is in perfect harmony with the scrip tures, or Bishop Ryle, who, in direct opposition to the teaching of holy writ, declares that such officers are not necessary? Again the bishop gives evidence that Joseph Smith was a true prophet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 76: August 27, 1914 The question may be asked, Is this a new message, or gospel? To which we answer, No, indeed; it is the same old, beautiful story which has been such a power for good in all ages, and was taught by Christ and His apostles in the days of old with such great force that on one occasion the multitude exclaimed, Men and brethren, what shall we do to be saved? Such a day of power was Pentecost, when three thousand accepted the gospel and were baptized for the remission of their sins, and received the gift of the Holy Ghost. This is the gospel message, faith in God and Christ, repentance for sin, baptism for the remission of sins, the gift of the Holy Ghost to follow. These are the things neces sary for admission in to Christ's kingdom. What the people need, is again to come to an understanding of their relationship and obligation to God, and a practical applica tion of this knowledge in their daily lives.
