Book Description
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 70: July 16, 1908 In the southern part of Utah lived a poor widow and her son. The latter was a wild and reckless youth, frequently getting into trouble and causing his mother much sorrow. He was considered the terror of the town in which he lived. The bishop of the ward and his counselors met one evening to consider his case. They decided, provided the young man were agreeable, to send him to the Brigham Young College at Provo. They had two objects in this: first, to get rid of him, and second, to reform him. They offered to pay the expense of his tuition.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 70: June 4, 1908 Fairchild 'of Oberlin College, Ohio, U. S. A., and on comparison with the Book of Mormon it was found to be totally different in every particular from that work, and it is now kept in the library of that institution, and has been copied and printed and is offered for sale wherever the Book of Mormon is published. All this has been threshed out so often as to have become monotonous to many people, and we apologize to the readers of the star for recurring to the subj ect, but its recent revival gives reason for this reference. As is well known to everybody who has seen the Book of Mormon, it has for a preface the testimony of Three Witnesses that the plates from which it was translated were shown to them by an angel of God, and of eight witnesses that they had seen and handled the plates by natural means, and had inspected the hieroglyphics engraved thereupon. In the leaflets now distributed, and in the puerile attempt of a Liverpool clergyman to attack this testimony, it is stated that the Three Witnesses spoken of left the Mormon Church and denied their former statement. It is for the purpose of showing the utter falsity of this recent fabrication that we take up the matter again. Here is the testimony of the Three Witnesses as it has appeared in every issue of the Book of Mormon from the opening of the year 1830 to the present time: Be it known unto all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people, unto whom this work shall come, that we, through the grace of God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, have seen the plates which contain this record, which is a record of the people of N ephi, and also of the Lamanites, their brethren, and also of the people of Jared, who came from the tower of which hath been spoken; and we also know that they have been translated by the gift and power of God, for His voice hath declared it unto us; wherefore we know of a surety, that the work is true. And we also testify that we have seen the engravings which are upon the plates; and they have been shown unto us by the power of God, and not of man. And we declare with words of soberness, that an angel of God came down from heaven, and he brought and laid before our eyes, that we beheld and saw the plates, and the engravings thereon; and we know that it is by the grace of God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ that we beheld and bear record that these things are true; and it is marvelous in our eyes, nevertheless, the voice of the Lord commanded us that we should bear record of it; wherefore, to be obedient unto the commandments of God, we bear testimony of these things. And we know that if we are faithful in Christ, we shall rid our garments of the blood of all men, and be found Spotless before the judgment seat of Christ and shall dwell with him eternally in the heavens. And the honor be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, which is one God. Amen. 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. 70: July 9, 1908 He that receiveth you, receiveth me, ' said Jesus to His disciples 'and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.' Your friend will admit that the people who rejected the gospel taught by the Lord's divinely-commissioned apostles were just as much under condemnation as those who rejected it when preached by the Master Himself; he will also admit that those who received the gospel taught by the apostles received the same blessings from the Father as though they had received it from the lips of His only begotten Son; and when he admits these things, he must also admit that those who received baptism at the hands of the Lord's servants were just as acceptable to God as they would have been if baptized by His Son Jesus Christ. One day when Christ was teaching in the temple, the chief priests and the elders asked Him by what authority He taught the people. Turning to them He said: 'i also will ask you one thing The baptism of John, whence was it? From heaven, or of. Men?' (matt. 21: 24 Now, had the Lord not considered baptism an essential ordinance, He would not have asked this question. It is only by admitting the essentiality of baptism that we can save our blessed Lord from the charge of having spoken foolishly on that occasion. Had baptism not been considered a saving ordinance of the gospel in the days of the Savior, these people could have turned to the Messiah and said, 'why ask us such a question? Baptism has nothing to do with our salvation, therefore it matters not to'us from whence it came, whether from heaven or of men.' Surely your friend must see that the chief priests and the elders are witnesses against him? Their silence testifies to the importance which the people attached to the ordin ance of baptism in the early days of Christianity.

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 70: January 16, 1908 I need hardly say that on the next day I found my way round to the headquarters of the European mission, and there the same elder instructed me further in the first principles of the gospel. Then and there I announced my readiness for baptism, but was told that I must know more of the gospel first. But I knew in my heart that Mormonism is the work of God, founded by Him, and that it is the true plan of salvation.

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 70: February 6, 1908 Let us see what the will of the Father was as revealed through Christ. In the first place it was and is the will of God that men believe in His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, and accept Him as their Savior and Redeemer. When certain people asked the Lord, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? His answer was, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. (john 6: 28, This shows us the first step we have to take in order to become one with the Father - to believe in Christ whom He has sent, and in the great and infinite atonement which He has made for our Sins.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 70: October 1, 1908 And now we come to the church which the Messiah, in fulfill ment of the prophecies of ancient prophets, has re-established in the earth in the latter days. Its founder, under God, was an ob scure youth, the son of a humble farmer; its members, like the first disciples of Christ, were from the ranks of the common people; its apostles and prophets were chosen, not for their great learning, for they were not learned men, but for their humility; it was organized 'on the 6th day of April, 1830, with six members: its first places of worship were the groves and little log cabins; it has been opposed by every sect in Christendom; the most bitter persecution has been heaped upon its members; they have been driven from pillar to post, their homes destroyed, their property confiscated, and many of them put to death. But notwithstanding all this the little stohe cut out of the mountain without hands has become a mountain; the grain of mustard seed has developed into a great tree; the Church of Jesus Christ 'of Latter-day Saints has become the envy of other churches. To-day it has a membership of about four hundred thousand; its missionaries are in almost all the nations of the earth, preaching the gospel of the kingdom freely; it has hundreds of large, magnificent places of worship; in fact, it has been pronounced the most remarkable religious organ ization of the age.

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 70: November 19, 1908 Church has grown from six members to about four hundred thousand. It has arrested the attention of the wise and learned in both hemispheres, and they have exhausted their wisdom and learning in trying to overthrow it; but all their efforts have been in vain, the words of the prophet have been fulfilled to the letter the wisdom of their wise men has perished and the understanding of their prudent men has been hid.

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 70: August 27, 1908 All the passions possessed by the Father were exhibited in the Son. Christ was God manifest in the flesh, yet He was endowed with like passions as we are. Think of the anger He exhibited when He saw His Father's house converted into a den of theives; see the pity He bestowed upon the multitudes who appealed to Him in their distress; behold His grief at the unbelief and hardness of heart of the people, notwithstanding all the mighty works He had wrought among them; see Him sorrowing and weeping over J eru salem because she had rejected and slain the prophets that God had sent to teach her; listen to His agony in the Garden of Geth semane.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 70: May 21, 1908 The necessity, reward, and extent of duty are clearly shown to us by several examples that we can see and read of daily. It is clearly pointed out in the army or navy. Here we find that a man who does not do his duty is not only discharged, but is a dis grace to his country and looked down upon by all wherever he goes, and farther, in some countries is deprived of the privileges of citizenship. If an advancement is to be made the one to get the promotion is the one that has best performed his duty, and the higher that promotion the more necessary it will be that the recipient must have had many duties to perform, for we can see that it would be folly to advance a mere stoker to the position of an officer in one step. In business we also see that the one promoted is the one that has done his duty, and that those in responsible positions are they who have merited them.
