Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 82: December 30, 1920 MY decision to apply for membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was, curiously enough, brought about by a mob. I had been converted some time, but it was a con version of the head and not of the heart. Friends wondered why I did not want to join the Church if I believed its teachings. I could not explain, for I did not know myself. I only knew that I was not ready. I attended the Open-air meetings conducted by the missionaries whenever possible, but took no part in them. I was content to assume the role of a disinterested listener. Some times I told myself I was inconsistent, that I was not honest, but I argued that it would not be right for me to identify myself with the Church until I was really converted. Had I before meet ing the missionaries been what is known as religiously inclined it would have been different, I suppose. But I was not an ad herent of any church. I considered ministers blind guides and many of their leading church members hypocrites. I wrote articles attacking them and defending the Mormons. The teachings of Mormonism seemed so reasonable and scriptural; but I was interested in them only from an intellectual stand point. As I have already said, my conversion was of the head and not of the heart. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 82: December 23, 1920 In the ministry of the Lord he was ever kind and considerate of women. And in his dealings with them he brought forth some of the grandest sayings that ever fell from his lips. To the woman of Samaria he said: Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life (john 4: 13, With Mary and Martha, and with Mary Magda lene and his mother, his ministry served the same purpose, and taught the most glorious truths. In the ministry of Joseph Smith the prophet, the inspiration of the Lord led him to an early appreciation of women. And to it we owe, more than to anything else, the organizations and the enthusiasm, securing to women the opportunities and privileges, which have come to them in the past hundred years - their equal rights to the blessings of pure religion; their ministry to the poor, provided by the Relief Societies; their social and intellect ual development, provided by the Improvement Associations their civil and political rights, secured at last by the voting franchise in all America and in many other countries.

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 82: November 18, 1920 I am glad that the women have the electoral franchise. I rejoice in all of the great and wonderful advancements that are being made for the benefit of mankind. And I rejoice, above all things. In a knowledge that God lives, that Jesus is the Christ, that Joseph Smith was a prophet of the true and living God; that the gospel of Jesus Christ, the plan of life and salvation, has been restored to the earth. I rejoice that you and I have a knowledge of that gospel; and oh, may God help us to live it; may He fill our hearts with charity, with love, with forgiveness, with the desire to serve Him; and may we in very deed be Latter-day Saints, is my prayer and desire, and I ask it in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 82: May 6, 1920 The President spoke of the first vision to the Prophet a hundred years ago, and of the organization of the Church ten years later, and read from the Doctrine and Covenants of a revelation given to the father of the Prophet between those dates, in which the Lord said that a marvelous work and a wonder was about to come forth in the earth. He pointed to the facts of the growth and development of the Church in fulfilment of this prediction, facts that are now recognized and commented upon by statesmen and men of renown the world over, as they come to know the high character of the Latter-day Saints, and the nobility of the work they are doing. He commented upon the quality of patriotism which is so well known in every community of the saints, who stand everywhere as loyal, thrifty, law-abidin g people, good citizens and stalwart defenders of the civil and property rights of the people, always for law and order, against every form of vice and lawlessness. He declared that the Latter-day Saints will fellowship no plan to destroy the property of individuals, corporations or governments; nor support labor unions or other organizations in seeking to control or deny individuals in their right to labor and to enjoy its fruits and privileges. While men have the right to com bine and organize for their own betterment and protection, they have not the right to dictate and'restrain others who do not, from working for a living in peace and unmolested. The President con cluded his thrilling address with a fervent testimony to the divinity of the gospel and authority of the Priesthood restored to the earth, with all the keys and powers pertaining thereto, and declared that God is watching over His work and caring for His people. President Anthon H. Lund endorsed all the words the President had spoken. He referred to the assumption of the ignorant, and those who seek to oppose us, that Latter-day Saints are not Christians, and said our Articles of Faith are most explicit in their declaration of Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, as the Savior of the world; and that our people have been and are striving with all their might to get the true word of the Lord before all people.

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 82: May 13, 1920 Warms in the sun, refreshes in the breeze, Glows in the stars and blossoms in the trees. That, said Elder Whitney, is an admirable description of the spirit that emanates from God and pervades all creation; but it is not God himself, in whose image man was created. To worship a gift or an emanation from God is a form of idolatry. When, a hundred years ago, the Father and the Son appeared to the boy Joseph Smith - two beings in the form of man - from that hour there was one person, at least, upon this planet who knew what kind of a being God is. It was no chance happening, that took Joseph Smith into the woods to pray, on that glorious spring morning. It was the design of Deity, a predestined event. The hour had struck, and the man was there whom God had provided. Other boys might pray, and their prayers would be answered; but not in this way. All men are not called to be prophets. He was the one ordained for the purpose, the man divinely chosen to usher in the great work of the dispensation of the fulness of times. This is the Saturday night of the world's history, and morning will break upon the Millennium, the thousand years of peace, the Sabbath of the World. That is why all things are in commotion. War, famine, pestilence, earthquake, tempest and tidal wave these are among the predicted signs of the Savior's second coming. Earth must be freed from oppression and cleansed from iniquity. It is God's house, and He is coming to live in it. Bishop Charles W. Nibley was the concluding speaker. Cit-ing some of the fruits of Mormonism during the one hundred years since the Lord revealed himself, he said the world must admit the works of Mormonism are good. Was it not a good work to preach the gospel to the poor and oppressed of the earth, and bring them together in a thrifty working community, where their souls might have peace? Was it not a good work to build a community by co operative efiort? If these are good works, then the tree has put forth good fruit. Is it not a good work for the Mormon Church to support its own school system, in addition to paying taxes as citizens of the state for the support of the public school system? The gospel is a higher and better law than the law of the land. It does not controvert it, it supplements it. The Mormon people challenge the world for loyalty to their country. They teach good citizenship. And the spiritual truths taught by the Mormons: Faith, repentance, baptism by immersion for the remission of sins, the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost. Are they not good teachings? The spirit of sacrifice, of service, of work, of courage, are instilled into the hearts of the Latter-day Saints by the power of the Holy Ghost. Thus all the fruits of Mormonism are evidence that its message is true. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 82: October 7, 1920 At no time since beginning this review of the Millennial Star has its inadequacy seemed so obvious. To attempt to epitomize the ministerial and editorial labors of the administration of Presi dent Penrose, is like trying to reduce the irreducible; his personal activity was incessant, his accomplishments prodigious; to even mention them by their significant headings would transcend the space at our command. The titles alone to the editorials he wrote one, at least, and sometimes three for each of the 183 issues he put out, would take a large part of the space we find available. Com mencing with the 49th number of volume sixty-eight, December 6, 1906, these editorials ran through all the volumes sixty-nine, seventy, seventy-one and down to the 23rd number in volume seventy-two, June 9, 1910. What a variety of subjects of past and current in terest they covered; and all treated from the standpoint of an authorized propagandist of the gospel of Jesus Christ, pertinent to the interests of the mission and inspired by the Holy Spirit of God! The 69th volume is presented in a new dress, the type all new and a little larger, but not much change in the makeup. Elder William A. Morton was assistant editor and regular contributor of leading and important articles, as well as of departmental matter, of which the Sunday-school lessons were chief; the editorial space was filled every week, however, from the facile pen of the President. The statistical report of the British mission for the year 1906, the last of President Grant's term, showed 84 branches; members; 676 baptized; 363 emigrated; 281 missionaries; strangers houses visited, gospel conversations, tracts distributed, books distributed, meetings held, outdoors, The activity of the Relief Societies was a feature of this period. They were under the general direction of Sister Romania B. Pen rose, who traveled extensively and organized many societies; keeping in constant touch with them all by correspondence and personal visits, formulating report blanks which were duly filled, compiled and sent to the General Board in Zion. Her labors in this field were most zealous, corresponding with those of her distinguished missionary husband. Sister Penrose also represented the women of Utah at the International Woman Sufirage Alliance, and spoke at the Congress, held at Amsterdam, June 15-21, 1908, before a large assembly, who applauded her speech.

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 82: March 25, 1920 The Gospel's Restoration Imperative: If any of my readers wish to know why Joseph Smith and Mormonism came into the world, they need look no further to find one of the cardinal reasons. It is furnished in those lines from Dante's masterpiece, setting forth the orthodox tenet and teaching of the Mediaeval church regard in g the Spirits of the good who depart this life without undergoing the baptismal ordinance. This and that other man-made doctrine; that half the world was predestined to be saved and the other half to be damned, regardless of any good or evil done by them little children being included in both classes - were widely preached in Christendom at the time of the advent of Mormonism.
