Library of Congress Card Catalog Number ISBN: Published and Distributed by: II “I teach them correct principles and they govern themselves.” --Joseph Smith, Jr. “People must have righteous principals (principles) in the first, and then they will not fail to perform virtuous actions.” --Martin Luther Correct and righteous principles are as true and immovable as the North Star, a star that through the ages has unerringly guided men to reach their destinations--- and likewise to the presence of our Father in Heaven. More often, it isn’t the person, it’s the correct principles he follows, that makes him notable. The great opportunity and purpose of life is--- to fulfill the full measure of our individual God-given talents and abilities, and by seeking, even through courageous persistence of heart, we exercise continually these correct and righteous principles. image via wikipedia To disregard using correct principles, is as irresponsible as setting your boat adrift without a rudder. III Thirteenth Article of Faith We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things. --Joseph Smith, Jr. …seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom, seek learning even by study and also by faith… Doctrine and Covenants 109:7 IV Quiet Success Principles ___________________________________________________________ Contents Introduction Notable Persons Journal Notes, Anonymous Scriptures The Lighter Side Over 300 Embedded Video Links V Quiet Success Principles Contents _____________________________________________________________________________ 1.

Remember—it would be one to put in your scrapbook that you attended a meeting when he was only on his second day. What a marvelous president he will be of the university. He is such an outstanding individual, a doctor and famous in that profession. He helped keep the University of Utah on track for a long time before this call came to him. As we thought of all the people in the world who could be called to preside over Brigham Young University at this time, there wasn’t anyone to compare with Cecil Samuelson. What a thrill to be here with you and to know that you’ve been here these days and hours and sessions listening to people giving you ideas, giving you suggestions, talking about your opportunities in life, your obligations, what needs to be done, and what you might be able to accomplish and that you will go home with ideas and desires and recommitment, all things that you would want to do.

  • Patriarchal Blessings and the Routinization of Charisma
    ARTICLES AND ESSAYS Patriarchal Blessings and the Routinization of Charisma Irene M. Bates Patriarchal blessings contemplate an inspired declaration of the lineage of the recipient, and also, where so moved upon by the Spirit, an inspired and prophetic statement of the life mission of the recipient, together with such blessings, cautions, and admonitions as the patriarch may be prompted to give for the accomplishment of such life's mission, it being always made clear that the realization of all promised blessings is conditioned upon faithfulness to the gospel of our Lord, whose servant the patriarch is. THE POLICY OF RECORDING PATRIARCHAL BLESSINGS, copies of which are deposited in the office of the LDS Church Historian, affords a valuable picture of cultural change in the church, perhaps reflective of changes in American society in general. In the interests of privacy, however, the church does not allow access to its copies of blessings, unless there is proof of blood relationship to the recipient. The researcher, therefore, must access blessings recorded in journals, those appearing in other manuscripts, and any blessings which individuals may choose to release for examination and publication. All of the 744 blessings upon which this study is based are drawn from these sources. 1. First Presidency [David O. McKay, Stephen L Richards, and J.

  • Five Brazil: Spreading the Message
    Five BRAZIL: SpREADING THE MESSAGE illiam Grant Bangerter was excited to return to Brazil. When President Stephen L. Richards of Wthe First Presidency called in October 1958 to set up an appointment to visit, Bangerter felt impressed he would be returning to Brazil. He knew President Asael T. Sorensen had been in Brazil for several years as president of the Brazilian Mission and a change in leadership would probably occur soon. The possibility of going back to his old mission to direct the missionary work in Brazil was something he was pleased to ac- cept. His mission prior to World War II was a time pleasantly remembered often, since he met with a group of former mis- sionary friends almost on a monthly basis. His wife, Geraldine Brazil: Spreading the Message (Geri), and their children were excited at the prospect of going to a place they had heard so much about.1 There were concerns, however. His mission to Brazil from 1939 to 1941 had been unusually challenging in spite of his love for the country and the people. At that time the Church was struggling to change the language of the mission from German to Portuguese. The missionaries were faithful and worked hard but expe- rienced only limited success. President Bangerter had seen few baptisms result from nearly three years of work. Most of the branches were new, and there was not enough local leadership to direct the work. Many of the faithful members were female and could not provide priesthood leadership for the Church. The missionar- William Grant and Geraldine Bangerter ies did almost everything.

  • 1 Nov 4-10 Hebrews 1-6 Jesus Christ
    Nov 4-10 Hebrews 1-6 Jesus Christ, “the Author of Eternal Salvation” OVERVIEW: Recording spiritual impressions helps you recognize what the Holy Ghost wants to teach you. Acting on your impressions demonstrates your faith that those promptings are real. Record your impressions: ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ SCRIPTURES: Hebrews 1 Author and Date: Since about A.D. 400 the book of Hebrews has traditionally been ascribed to Paul. There are, however, some who question Paul’s authorship of this Epistle because its style and language are so different from Paul’s other letters. It is generally agreed that even if the pen was not Paul’s, the ideas were, because the doctrines in Hebrews agree with those found in Paul’s other letters. When the Prophet Joseph Smith made inspired revisions of the Bible he did not question Paul’s authorship. For instance, the Prophet taught: It is said by Paul in his letter to the Hebrew brethren, that Abel obtained witness that he was righteous. TPJS, 59. The dating of this Epistle is also uncertain. But since Hebrews makes no mention of the destruction of the temple, which occurred in A.D. 70, and always refers to the temple in the present tense, it is assumed this letter was written before that time. Also, if Paul was the author, it must have been written before his death in about A.D. 65. Audience: This Epistle draws heavily on Old Testament themes and practices. Therefore it is likely that the intended audience was Jewish (Hebrew) Christians. Historical Background: As we have seen in Acts and in the Epistles we have already studied, there was often sharp disagreements between gentile and Jewish Christians over whether or not Saints were subject to the law of Moses.

  • 1875–2012 Dr. Jan E. Wynn
    HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY 1875–2012 DR. LYNN E. GARNER DR. GURCHARAN S. GILL DR. JAN E. WYNN Copyright © 2013, Department of Mathematics, Brigham Young University All rights reserved 2 Foreword In August 2012, the leadership of the Department of Mathematics of Brigham Young University requested the authors to compose a history of the department. The history that we had all heard was that the department had come into being in 1954, formed from the Physics Department, and with a physicist as the first chairman. This turned out to be partially true, in that the Department of Mathematics had been chaired by physicists until 1958, but it was referred to in the University Catalog as a department as early as 1904 and the first chairman was appointed in 1906. The authors were also part of the history of the department as professors of mathematics: Gurcharan S. Gill 1960–1999 Lynn E. Garner 1963–2007 Jan E. Wynn 1966–2000 Dr. Gill (1956–1958) and Dr. Garner (1960–1962) were also students in the department and hold B. S. degrees in Mathematics from BYU. We decided to address the history of the department by dividing it into three eras of quite different characteristics. The first era (1875–1978): Early development of the department as an entity, focusing on rapid growth during the administration of Kenneth L. Hillam as chairman. The second era (1978–1990): Efforts to bring the department in line with national standards in the mathematics community and to establish research capabilities, during the administration of Peter L.

  • Jane Clayson Johnson
    JANE CLAYSON JOHNSON Guest Lecture to the College of Fine Arts and Communications Brigham Young University 29 March 2007 Reporting on the Home Front - Jane Clayson Interview It’s really wonderful to be back on campus. I must tell you that every time we fly over the Wasatch Mountains coming from the East Coast, I just feel happy. It’s a wonderful place here with a very special spirit. I appreciate the invitation to be with you here today. As I was looking out at you today, sitting up on the stand, I couldn’t help but think of myself not so many years ago now . starting out in the broadcast journalism department. I started on this journey, in many ways because Dale Cressman, who many of you know, opened the door for me of the Lee library one night after a long day studying. He’d just started graduate program, as I recall, and we started talking and he said, “You know, you should come see KBYU, it’s a great place.” I had always loved to write and loved many things about what ultimately became my career and I went down to see KBYU-FM and I loved it. I started writing 30-second news and weather cut- ins for KBYU-FM the next week. And within a few weeks I was in the program and on to KBYU and the news and just an extraordinary experiences here at BYU. We had wonderful adventures in white TV-10 van. I don’t know if it’s still around, but I sure remember it.

  • Xavier Newsletter #75 (PDF)
    Kevin Eastman http://kevineastmanbasketball.com We all teach our set plays by running them 5-on-0 (with no defenders). The reason is we want to get the patterns down as well as all the other intricacies of the set. Unfortunately the players don’t seem to think it is as important as the coaches do. With this lack of interest the coach often finds himself or herself doing an equal amount of prodding as well as coaching while trying to get the players to run the sets at game speed. The NBA level is no different, but there are differences between the teams that win and the teams that don’t win in terms of how they go about this aspect of practice. As coaches we have to get them to understand that Dummy Offense is critical to becoming a finely tuned offensive team. There are 3 levels at which teams go about running their Dummy Offense: Running through the set: this is a team that actually goes through the proper patterns of the sets but with no purpose; they feel that getting the patterns down is all there is to it Execution: this is a team that understands it’s more than just getting the patterns down; it’s an emphasis on timing and spacing, putting passes on time and on target, cutting hard with game speed cuts, cutting with a purpose.
