Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 79: February 1, 1917 Mormon, first given in derision as a nickname, was fastened upon the members of the Church. Such a beginning as that of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints may seem to afford little ground of either hope or fear as to future developments; nevertheless, the newly-established Church was made the subject of assault from its inception. What was there to cause hostile concern over the voluntary association of six men and a few of their friends in an organization of Openly expressed purpose, and that purpose the peaceful promulgation of what they verily believed to be the uplifting religion of life, the gospel of Jesus Christ?

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 79: August 23, 1917 Will those men who go out from Utah, from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, forget their prayers? 7ill they forget God? 7ill they forget the teachings that they have received from their parents at home? Will they forget the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the covenants that they have made in the waters of baptism. And in sacred places? Or will they go out as men, in every sense - pure men, high - minded men, honest men virtuous men, men of God? That is what I am. Anxious about. I want to see the hand of God made manifest in the acts of the men that go out from the ranks of the Church of Jesus Christ and from the state of Utah, to help to defend the principles of liberty and sound government for the human family. I want to see them so live that they can be in communion with the Lord, in their camps, and in their secret places, and that in the midst of battle they can say: Father, my life and my spirit are in thy hand! I want to see the boys that go away from here in this cause. To go feeling just as our missionaries do when sent out into the world, carrying with them the spirit a good mother feels when she parts with her boy, on the morning of his departure for his mission. She embraces him with all the mother's love in her soul. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 79: December 6, 1917 Then I bear testimony again to you, my brethren and sisters, that the foundation of the cause in which we are engaged is the gospel truth, and it is a glorious thing to know that so many and yet so few in comparison to the vast aggregation of humanity - have learned the truth, learned the fact that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God unto salvation, and that it must of necessity be the truth, for God has never devised error for the redemption of His children, nor for their blessing and ex altation. He has never given to the children of men falsehood and error to lead them back into His presence. The Almighty, in the beginning; never devised a plan for the redemption of His children that was not true, that was not efficacious, that would not be effectual in the accomplishment of His purpose to bring to pass the final exaltation into the kingdom and the enjoyment of His presence, of all His children who would obey His laws and keep His commandments.

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 79: August 30, 1917 I don't want to see one of my boys lose the faith of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I don't want to see one of them deny Christ, the Son of the living God, the Savior of the world. I do not want one of them to turn his back upon the divine mission of the Prophet Joseph Smith, whose blood courses in their veins. I would rather see them perish in defending a cause of righteousness, a thousand times, while they are firm in the faith, than I would see them live to deny that faith and the God that gave them life!

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 79: February 15, 1917 The most potent of all forces operating to maintain the vitality of Mormonism is found in the Divine source of its powers and authority. It teaches the actuality Of present day revelation as the needs of the Church require. The system lives and shall never die because it is imbued with the spirit Of eternal life. Men can not destroy the Divine; the mortal is impotent ih assault upon the immortal; the finite is powerless to prevail against the infinite.
