The Latter Day Saints Millennial Star Vol 67 May 18 1905 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 67: May 18, 1905 In common with all books, the Book of Mormon has its spirit, produces its effects upon the minds of men; and as it claims to.be a work originally written and also translated through the inspiration of God, and deals primar ily with sacred things, it is to be expected that the spirit of this book will have not only a good, but even a divine influence; that it will be of a faith promoting, doubt-dispersing, comfort-bringing character. Its effect upon the minds of men, therefore, may be another test of its claims to a divine origin and to that test I now submit it. In his work entitled, My First Mission, the late President George Q. Cannon makes the following statement respecting the influence exerted over his spirit by reading the Book of Mormon under the trying conditions in which he was placed while serving as a missionary in the Hawaiian Islands.

But the anoint ing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you; but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 67: October 12, 1905 In all the useful and philanthropic enterprises thus enumerated, and in many more that cannot now be named, it was virtually the Church that took the lead; for Brigham Young, as President and trustee-in-trust, acted as the agent of the Church in investing its means and manipulating its revenues. In this capacity he built the Deseret Telegraph line, entirely with home capi tal and home labor, only a few years after the original telegraph line crossed the continent, and before the advent of the railroad. He and other leading Mormons helped to construct the Union Pacific and Central Pacific rail roads, which on May 10, 1869, made Promontory, Utah, their place of meeting and welding point between East and West. About this time also he took the initiative in organizing Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institution, a mam moth concern designed to unify Mormon commercial interests in the face of impending fierce competition from the outside, resulting from the coming of the railroad. He even attempted to re-establish the United Order, and succeeded in part; though his greatest success in that direction was limited to the mighty Cc-operative movement of which he was the chief instigator and promoter.

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 67: June 15, 1905 Higher Criticism is reaching many thinking people at the present time, and latter-day scripture offers pleasing and easy solutions to most things brought forward by the fearless manner in which scholars scrutinize the Bible. Doubt exists as to the authorship of various parts, there are evidences of copying from earlier writers, apparent interpolations and contradictions which they cannot reconcile with their idea of how the Lord ought to do things.

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints Millennial Star, Vol. 67: July 13, 1905 We felt sorry for Mr. Macallum's ignorance and narrow-mindedness. Only a few hours before, a letter came from another city, sixty miles from there, from the president of a collage, full of thanks and kind words for a little favor I had done them, so you see, we are not altogether without friends. Well, that afternoon there was a great stir in government circles. I was before the police, the Centurian, and the Pasha, and a long order was written out and sealed for our immediate banishment. I asked to send a telegram to our minister in Constantinople, but that privilege was flatly refused me, ' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 67: June 1, 1905 The Latter-day Saints in Chicago are thankful to the Lord for the goodly place they now possess in which to worship, and I bear witness that the means spent in Chicago for the obtaining Of a beautiful house to worship in was well spent. There are a number of members Of the Church who are students in Chicago, and they are proud to belong to that branch. They assist us in our work, and -we feel thankful for the labors they have performed and for the support they have given us. I believe that they ought to be encouraged; for they have gone out to battle with the world. One young man came to me three months ago. He had not been attending our services, and he felt, pos sibly, that he was not of much consequence. He roomed with a strong minded student, and thought he had so much work to do that he could not come and worship. After four months of isolation from the Church, by reading the many things that are written against us, he began to wonder if Zion was not astray. To-day, however, he feels better, having come under the influence of faithful students and Elders there. In southern Illinois we have purchased another small church in which to worship, and the honest in heart, also the firm minded among them, are pleased to think that they are going to have an energetic, enterprising people live with them. My brethren and sisters, I am glad to have the privilege Of representing such a noble band of young men and young women as are the missionaries in the Northern States mission. I believe that their souls are filled with a desire to keep the commandments of the Lord, and to spread a knowledge Of these commandments among their fellowmen. I have of ten thought, if the mothers could see their sons out there, perhaps knowing scarcely a passage of Scrip ture from memory, and reading the Bible, find that it sustains the teachings of their mothers, their hearts would rejoice to note how their minds broaden, and how their souls are filled with joy when they see that the Bible sustains the teachings they have received at their mother's knee, and in their Sunday schools, and other good places. Many Of our young men are not as well acquainted with the Bible as they are with the fact that their mothers have taught them to believe in God, to repent and be baptized, and then to have hands laid upon them for the gift of the Holy Ghost. When they read about these principles they understand them, and instead of coming back weak in the faith, they return with their faith strengthened, and with the teachings Of their parents confirmed by the doctrines Of the Holy Scriptures.

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 67: November 23, 1905 Some who have been asked if willing to perform a mission have suggested that their call be postponed for a certain length of time in order to become better prepared. A number of such missionaries have been heard to admit that it would have been better for them if they had accepted the call at once; and some have, after asking for an extension of time, ' changed their minds and reported themselves ready to go without availing themselves of the time given for preparation, finding that the longer they remained the further they were from being ready. The late Apostle Parley P. Pratt, in his Autobiography, relates that upon one occasion he hesitated before starting upon a mission that had been as signed him. He was in debt, and was building a house, and desired to finish it before leaving. Before it was finished the house took fire and was burned. Elder Pratt then decided at once that he was ready to fulfill his mission. He looked upon his misfortune as a rebuke for not responding when first called. Upon deciding to go, his friends came to his assistance, his debts were can celled, and thus his way was made clear to perform his duty.
