As the Church adds volumes to this series, you will build a collection of gospel reference books for your home. This book features the teachings of President Spencer W. Kimball, who served as President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from December 30, 1973, to November 5, 1985. Personal Study As you study the teachings of President Kimball, seek the inspiration of the Spirit. Remember Nephi’s promise: “He that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost” (1 Nephi 10:19). Begin your study with prayer, and continue to pray in your heart as you read. At the end of each chapter, you will find questions and scrip- ture references that will help you understand and apply President Kimball’s teachings. Consider reviewing them before you read the chapter. Also consider the following guidelines: • Look for key words and phrases. If you find a word you do not understand, use a dictionary or another source to better understand its meaning. • Think about the meaning of President Kimball’s teachings. You may want to mark individual words and sentences that touch your mind and heart. • Reflect on experiences you have had that relate to President Kimball’s teachings. v INTRODUCTION • Ponder how President Kimball’s teachings apply to you. Think about how the teachings relate to concerns or questions you have. Decide what you will do as a result of what you have learned. Teaching from This Book This book can be used to teach at home or at church. The fol- lowing guidelines will help you: Focus on President Kimball’s Words and the Scriptures The Lord has commanded that we teach “none other things than that which the prophets and apostles have written, and that which is taught [us] by the Comforter through the prayer of faith” (D&C 52:9). Your assignment is to help others understand and apply the gospel through President Kimball’s teachings and the scrip- tures. Do not set this book aside or prepare lessons from other materials. Dedicate a significant portion of the lesson to reading President Kimball’s teachings in this book and discussing their meaning and application. Encourage participants to study the chapters before Sunday meetings and to bring the book to church. When they do so, they will be better prepared to participate and to edify one another. Seek the Guidance of the Holy Ghost As you pray for help and prepare diligently, the Holy Ghost will guide your efforts. He will help you emphasize the portions of each chapter that will encourage others to understand and apply the gospel. When you teach, pray in your heart that the power of the Spirit will accompany your words and the class discussions. Nephi said, “When a man speaketh by the power of the Holy Ghost the power of the Holy Ghost carrieth it unto the hearts of the children of men” (2 Nephi 33:1; see also D&C 50:13–22). Prepare to Teach The chapters in this book have been organized to help you prepare to teach. Also consider the following guidelines: vi INTRODUCTION 1. Study the chapter. Prayerfully study the chapter to become confident in your understanding of President Kimball’s teach- ings. You will teach with greater sincerity and power when his words have influenced you personally (see D&C 11:21). As you read, keep in mind the needs of those you teach. You may want to mark portions that you feel will help them. Note the chapter’s bold subheadings. They outline the main points in the chapter. 2. Decide which portions to use. Each chapter contains more than you will be able to teach in one lesson. Rather than try to cover the entire chapter, prayerfully select portions that you feel will be most helpful for those you teach. 3. Decide how to introduce the lesson. To spark interest at the beginning of the lesson, you might share a personal experi- ence or ask participants to read a story from the beginning of the chapter or look at a picture in the chapter. Then you could ask, “What does this story (or picture) teach about the topic of the chapter?” Other options for beginning a lesson include reading a scripture or a quotation from the chapter or singing a hymn. Another helpful idea is to let participants know what the main points of the lesson will be. 4. Decide how to encourage discussion. This is where you should spend most of the lesson time. Review the suggestions on conducting edifying discussions on pages viii–ix of this book. You might use questions from “Suggestions for Study and Teaching” at the end of the chapter. You may prepare some of your own. Ask questions that help those you are teaching: • Look for what is taught. These types of questions help par- ticipants find and become familiar with specific information in President Kimball’s teachings. For example, after identi- fying a specific quotation, you could ask, “What are some of the key words or phrases in this quotation?” or “What is the topic of this quotation?” • Think about the meaning. These types of questions help participants better understand President Kimball’s teach- ings. For example, “Why do you think this teaching is important?” or “What thoughts or feelings do you have vii INTRODUCTION about this quotation?” or “What does this teaching mean to you?” • Share experiences. These questions encourage participants to relate what President Kimball said to something in their personal lives. For example, “What experiences have you had that relate to what President Kimball said?” • Apply what is taught. These questions help participants think about ways they can live according to President Kimball’s teachings. For example, “What is President Kimball encour- aging us to do? In what ways can we apply what he said?” 5. Decide how to conclude the lesson. You may choose to quickly summarize the lesson or ask one or two participants to do so. As prompted by the Spirit, testify of the teachings you have discussed. You may also want to invite others to share their testimonies. Encourage those you teach to follow the prompt- ings they have received from the Holy Ghost. As you prepare to teach, you may want to look for ideas in Teaching, No Greater Call (36123), part B, chapters 14, 16, 28, and 29; or in the Teaching Guidebook (34595). Conduct Edifying Discussions The following guidelines will help you encourage and con- duct edifying discussions: • Seek the guidance of the Holy Ghost. He may prompt you to ask certain questions or to include certain people in the dis- cussion. • Help participants focus on President Kimball’s teachings. Have them read his words to generate discussion and to answer questions. Redirect discussions that begin to stray from the topic or that are speculative or contentious. • As appropriate, share experiences that relate to the teachings in the chapter. • Encourage participants to share their thoughts, ask questions, and teach one another (see D&C 88:122). For example, you could ask them to comment on what others have said, or you could direct one question to several participants. viii INTRODUCTION • Do not be afraid of silence after you ask a question. Often those you teach need time to think or to look in their books before they share ideas, testimonies, and experiences. • Listen sincerely, and seek to understand everyone’s com- ments.

  • We Can Go Anywhere': Understanding Independence Through a Case Study
    ‘We can go anywhere’: Understanding independence through a case study of ride-hailing use by people with visual impairments in metropolitan India VAISHNAV KAMESWARAN, University of Michigan JATIN GUPTA, University of Michigan JOYOJEET PAL, University of Michigan SILE O’MODHRAIN, University of Michigan TIFFANY C. VEINOT, University of Michigan ROBIN N. BREWER, University of Michigan AAKANKSHA PARAMESHWAR, University of Michigan VIDHYA Y, Microsoft Research India JACKI O’NEILL, Microsoft Research India Ride-hailing services have received attention as part of the growing work around the sharing economy, but the focus of these studies has largely been on drivers. In this paper, we examine how ride-hailing is transforming the transportation practices of one group of passengers - people with visual impairments in metropolitan India. Through a qualitative study consisting of interviews and observations, we examined the use and impact of these services on our target population, who otherwise contend with chaotic, unreliable, and largely inaccessible modes of transportation. We found that ride-hailing services positively affects participants’ notions of independence, and we tease out how independence for our participants is not just about ‘doing things alone, without help’ but is also situated, social and relative. Furthermore, we show how accessibility, in the case of ride-hailing in India, is a socio-technical and collaborative achievement, involving interactions between the passenger, the driver, and the technology.

  • Lorin C. Woolley Biography
    "I Love to Hear Him Talk and Rehearse" The Life and Teachings of Lorin C. Woolley by Brian C. Hales Copyright 1993 Lorin C. Woolley became popular in the 1920s as a speaker among different groups of dissenters from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His acceptance was greatest among men and women who had been excommunicated for practicing polygamy. On one occasion Joseph White Musser, who had listened to him many times, recorded: "I love to hear him talk and rehearse."(1) During his lifetime, Lorin C. Woolley shared many fascinating stories with his listeners. THE IMPORTANCE OF LORIN C. WOOLLEY Since the Manifesto, the practice of polygamy outside of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been advocated by a number of interesting and dedicated individuals. Many have served as leaders in their respective pseudo-church organizations. These men have demonstrated sincerity, charisma and commitment to their cause. They have endured persecution from external sources including suffering prison sentences. Nevertheless, none of their contributions to the practice of post-manifesto polygamy compares with the offering presented by Lorin C. Woolley. Through his recollections he provided his followers with access to a line of priesthood authority, ostensibly allowing them to eternally seal plural marriages. The Need for Legitimate Authority To understand why proper authority is so important, we recall the Lord's instructions concerning the sealing power restored to Joseph Smith: All covenants, contracts, bonds, obligations,

  • TEMPLE RITUAL ALTERED Mormon Leaders Delete Some of the “Most Sacred” Parts of Ceremony
    Salt Lake City Messenger UTAH LIGHTHOUSE MINISTRY Issue No. 75 PO BOX 1884, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84110 July 1990 TEMPLE RITUAL ALTERED Mormon Leaders Delete Some of the “Most Sacred” Parts of Ceremony In response to Fawn M. Brodie’s book, No Man Knows My History, the noted Mormon apologist Hugh Nibley declared: Yet of all churches in the world only this one has not found it necessary to readjust any part of its doctrine in the last hundred years. How does Brodie explain the fact that the doctrine which she claims was the haphazard outgrowth of complete opportunism remains the most stable on earth? (No Ma’am That’s Not History, 1946, pp. 46-47) Although most Mormons have always placed a great deal of weight in Dr. Nibley’s arguments, recent developments within the church itself will undoubtedly cause many to wonder about his claims concerning doctrinal stability. The New York Times gave this startling report in an article which begins on the first page of the issue dated May 3, 1990: The Mormon Church has changed some of its most sacred rituals, eliminating parts of the largely secret ceremonies that President Ezra Taft Benson have been viewed as offensive to women and to members of some other faiths. “Because the temple ceremony is sacred to us, we don’t Last month the church . quietly dropped from its speak about it except in the most general terms,” said Beverly temple rituals a vow in which women pledged obedience to Campbell, the East Coast director for public communications their husbands .

She opened the bathroom door just far enough that she could slip inside, any farther and it would squeak. She applied a fresh coat of make-up and forced herself to breathe evenly. He won’t wake up. He hasn’t yet. At the top of the stairs, she paused. “Mommy?” Her three-year-old daughter was standing in the doorway to her room. “Go back to sleep, sweetie,” Catherine said. “I had a bad dream. The bad faeries chased me.” “The bad faeries won’t get you. You’re too good.” “Can I sleep with you and daddy?” Catherine thought quickly. If she woke Max up, he would realize she was gone. Emily always slept in the car. And she probably wouldn’t remember this anyway. “I’m going out. Do you want to come, sweetheart?” Emily nodded and ran to grab her teddy bear. “Let’s be really, really quiet,” Catherine said, “like good faeries.” Emily nodded gravely and rose up on her tiptoes, and the two made their way out to the car. Emily was asleep before they left the neighborhood.
