Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 72: August 11, 1910 One of old, I think it was Pilate, asked the Lord, What is truth? Christ did not immediately answer the question, but He answered it at another time, and this was the answer that He gave to the question: Saith the Lord, my word is truth. If God has spoken, He has spoken the truth. If He has sent His servants who teach His word, then His servants teach the truth, and the Lord Almighty is bound to sustain His word, which is truth, and also to sustain every individual soul who has established his hopes upon the word of the Lord. Now permit me to say just a few words more with reference to this. What is truth? God is truth, and Christ is truth, and the plan of life and salvation instituted by the Father in the beginning is truth, and this truth permeates every doctrine of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Now, the question arises in the hearts of many people, Is the mission of Joseph Smith true? We come to the world to declare to you that his mission is divine, and from my point of View, and the point of view taken by every faithful elder in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, if the mission of the Prophet Joseph Smith be not divine, then the mission and the doctrine of the Lord Jesus Christ will fall in the same way. This is our testimony to the children of men, and this testimony bears to you, our friends, a message of peace and reconciliation to God. We believe in every doctrine taught by the Son of God, and our belief in these principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ are not of any avail to us except we do more than simply believe in them, What will it avail a man to believe that repentance of sin is a true doctrine, if he does not repent of his sins What will it avail for you or me to believe in Christ the Son of God, and yet neglect to obey and keep His commandments? Let us put our belief and our faith into works, and then we will please God. The Savior said, Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. (matt. 8: 24 Now my friends, the Lord restored the Priesthood through John the Bap tist to Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery, which holds the power of baptism by immersion for the remission of sins, and later he was visited by Peter, James and John, and they conferred upon him and upon his associate the Melchizedek Priesthood, which is after the order of the Son of God, thus conferring upon man the authority of God to ofi'iciate in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. N ow, these things are true, or they are not true. And we come to declare to the world that we know they are true. Therefore, whosoever will receive these teachings and this doctrine, and the blessings and privileges of the Holy Priesthood, will eventually become heirs of God, and joint heirs with Jesus Christ.

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 72: October 13, 1910 But do men always stand between us and our God? On the day of Pentecost, Peter said to the believing multitude: Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (acts 2: And that, that they might know with him: Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. As to how they could know, Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this [the above named] rock [of revela tion] I will build my Church. (matt. 16: 16 Paul says in I. Cor. Wherefore I give you to understand that no man speak ing by the spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed; and that no man can say [and know it] that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. The Lord speaking in the revelations given to Joseph Smith as contained in the Doctrine and Covenants, section 20: 37, says, All those who humble themselves before God, and desire to be baptized and come forth with broken hearts and contrite spirits and witness before the Church that they have truly repented of all their sins, and are willing to take upon them the name of Jesus Christ, having a determination to serve Him to the end, and truly manifest by their works that they have received of the Spirit of Christ unto the remission of their sins, shall be received by baptism into His Church. And in section 46: 13 To some it is given by the Holy Ghost to know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that He was crucified for the sins of the world.

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 72: March 31, 1910 The splendid organization of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as it exists to-day, is one of the fruits of the system, or doctrine, and it cannot be said with any degree of reason that the good conduct of a comparatively few men engaged in missionary work abroad, while the great body of the people were living horrible lives at home, could bring about such admirable results. The missionaries constitute but a single branch of the great tree of Mormonism, and if it is healthy and vigor ous and shows good fruits, then the trunk and the roots must of necessity be healthy and vigorous. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. The presence of these well-behaved men in the missionary field is a matter worthy of more than passing thought, when we consider the fruits of the tree of Mormonism. They come from all avocations direct into the work without preparation, in the ordinary sense, as ministers, but they are almost immediately able to discuss the principles of life and salvation readily and intelli gently, overwhelming the clergy by their wide understanding of the Holy Scriptures. They come from the cities, the farms, and in many cases from regions that may be termed frontiers, yet their behavior is such that even ministers of the gospel, who are unfriendly to the system, acknowledge their excellence. This is all the result of Mormonism. Their ability to meet the learned in the discussion of religion, to behave circumspectly and with propriety in all lands, they owe to the enlightening and refining influence of their faith. Of themselves they are weak, just as the apostles of the Lord were in olden times, but having been nourished from this tree of spiritual and intellectual life, they burst forth into able teachers of men. Could results like this come from a bad source? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 72: April 28, 1910 I could not keep my seat when the priest said the 'mormons' were not Christians, and didn't believe in Christ. I told him about my dear mother, who is now dead, taking me on her lap many times when I was only four or five years old, teaching me that J esus was the Son of God, and about His atonement and that it was only through Him that we all could be saved. Addressing the pastor, I said: 'these lessons I'll never forget as long as I live, and let me tell you, pastor, that my mother was a 'mormon' and that I was born over in Utah. Now don't you ever tell anybody that the Latter-day Saints don't teach Christ and Him crucified, for that is a falsehood.' He bowed his head as if he were ashamed. 'why, ' said I, 'i have never heard anything but that as long back as I can remember; if there is anybody who believes in J esas, the Latter-day Saints do.' I continued my talk to him, and explained authority, and revelation, and priesthood, telling him about the restoration of the same, etc. He then looked at his watch and said it was time to go, but, before he went, I made him a present of 'the Fundamental Principles of the Gospel, ' (by Apostle Orson Pratt), which he accepted and promised to read. He took me by the hand and thanked me. We parted after about forty minutes interview. When the elders previously visited this man he had in almost every case refused to take our tracts, but now he accepted a good book.

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 72: June 30, 1910 Of all the new religions of the nineteenth century, not one has caused so much comment as that called Mormonism. Its influence and development were so marked and the work of Joseph Smith, its founder, so marvelous, that an historical writer of the time, Josiah Quincy, a few weeks after Joseph Smith's martyrdom, wrote.
