McKay was ordained an Apostle in 1906 and sustained as President of the Church in 1951. iv Introduction The First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles have established the Teachings of Presidents of the Church series to help Church members deepen their understanding of gospel doctrine and draw closer to Jesus Christ through the teachings of the prophets in this dispensation. This book features the teach- ings of President David O. McKay, who served as President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from April 1951 to January 1970. How to Use This Book Each chapter in this book includes four sections: (1) an open- ing quotation that briefly introduces the focus of the chapter; (2) an “Introduction,” which illustrates the messages of the chapter with a story or counsel from President McKay; (3) “Teachings of David O. McKay,” which presents doctrines from his many messages and sermons; and (4) “Suggestions for Study and Discussion,” which contains questions to encourage per- sonal review and inquiry, application of gospel principles, and discussion at home and at church. Reviewing the questions before studying President McKay’s words may give additional insight into his teachings. Also, as part of the resources for additional study and discussion, each chapter includes a brief list of related scriptures. This book is to be used in the following settings: For personal or family study. Through prayerful reading and thoughtful study, individuals can receive a personal witness of the truths taught by President McKay. This volume will add to each member’s gospel library and will serve as an important resource for family instruction and study in the home. For discussion in Sunday meetings. This book is the text for Sunday meetings in high priests groups, elders quorums, and v INTRODUCTION the Relief Society, usually on the second and third Sundays of each month. These Sunday meetings should be discussions that concentrate on gospel doctrines and principles. Teachers should focus on the content of the text and related scriptures and should apply these teachings to circumstances with which class members will be familiar. They may draw from the questions at the end of each chapter to encourage class discussion. As appro- priate, members should bear testimony and share personal examples that relate to the lessons. When teachers humbly seek the Spirit in preparing and directing the lessons, all who partic- ipate will be strengthened in their knowledge of the truth. Leaders and teachers are to encourage members to read the chapters in preparation for Sunday meetings and to bring the book to church. They should honor such preparation by teach- ing from President McKay’s words. When members have read a chapter in advance, they will be prepared to teach and edify each other. It is not necessary or recommended that members purchase additional commentaries or reference texts to supplement the material in this book. For further study of the doctrine, members are encouraged to turn to the related scriptures that are included at the end of the “Suggestions for Study and Discussion” section. Since this book is designed for personal study and gospel ref- erence, many chapters contain more material than can be fully addressed in Sunday meetings. Therefore, study at home becomes essential to more thoroughly benefit from President McKay’s teachings. Teaching Lessons from the Chapters in This Book The chapters in this book contain more information than most teachers will be able to teach in one class period. Teachers should pray for help, seek the guidance of the Holy Ghost, and work diligently as they select the quotations, scrip- ture references, and questions that will best meet the needs of class members. vi INTRODUCTION Preparing a Lesson The following suggestions illustrate one possible approach to help teachers prepare and present lessons from this book (these guidelines can also be used by parents in preparing family home evening lessons): 1. Prayerfully study the chapter. Consider marking passages that are particularly inspiring to you. 2. Determine what should happen in the lives of those you teach as a result of the teachings in the chapter. Seek the guidance of the Holy Ghost as you ponder the needs of those you teach. 3. Decide what to teach. Read the chapter again, selecting the passages that will be most helpful for those you teach. 4. Decide how to teach. Plan ways to teach the passages you have selected. Some suggestions follow. • Conduct discussions based on the questions in “Suggestions for Study and Discussion” at the end of each chapter. • Discuss selected scripture passages from the related scriptures listed at the end of each chapter. • Plan a way to get members’ attention at the beginning of the lesson. For example, you may share a story from the chapter’s introduction, write a thought-provoking question on the chalkboard, or use an object lesson. • Use hymns and Primary songs to help members prepare to feel the Spirit. • Bear testimony whenever the Spirit prompts you, not just at the end of the lesson. • Invite one or two members to come to class prepared to bear brief testimony of the principles in the chapter. • As appropriate, share experiences relating to the principles in the chapter. Invite others to do the same. For suggestions on how to use these and other teaching meth- ods, refer to Teaching, No Greater Call (36123); the Teaching Guidebook (34595); and “Gospel Teaching and Leadership,” sec- tion 16 of the Church Handbook of Instructions, Book 2: Priesthood and Auxiliary Leaders (35903). Also, to help you vii INTRODUCTION succeed in your calling, you are encouraged to participate in the 12-week Teaching the Gospel course in your ward or branch, as well as the quarterly teacher improvement meetings. 5. Organize your ideas. You may want to write an outline to guide you during the presentation of the lesson. Conducting Meaningful Discussions Whether in a family or classroom setting, the chapters in this book provide a wonderful opportunity for individuals to strengthen each other by participating in gospel discussions. The following guidelines may help you conduct meaningful discussions: • Ask questions that require thought and discussion rather than questions that can be answered yes or no. Questions that begin with what, how, why, who, or where are usually most effective for encouraging discussion. • Encourage others to share experiences that show how gospel principles apply in everyday life. Also encourage them to share their feelings about what they are learning. Listen sin- cerely and show appreciation for their contributions. • Be sensitive to the influence of the Holy Ghost. He will help you know what to ask, who to call on, or how to include others in the discussion. If you feel that comments are stray- ing from the topic, politely redirect the discussion. • Be careful not to end a good discussion too soon in an attempt to cover all the material you have prepared. What matters most is that participants feel the Spirit, increase their understanding of the gospel, apply gospel principles in their lives, and strengthen their commitment to live the gospel. Information on the Sources Quoted in This Book The teachings of President McKay in this book have been col- lected from a variety of sources. The quotations have retained the punctuation, spelling, and capitalization of the original viii INTRODUCTION sources unless editorial or typographic changes have been nec- essary to improve readability. For this reason, readers may notice minor inconsistencies in the text. President McKay often used terms such as men, man, or mankind to refer to all people, both male and female. He also commonly used the pronoun he to refer to both genders. This was common in the language of his era. Despite the differences between these language conventions and more current usage, readers will find that President McKay’s teachings are equally applicable and valuable to both women and men.

Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D. / Thesis Advisor December 2019 Copyright by Shannon Caldwell Montez 2019 All Rights Reserved UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA RENO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by SHANNON CALDWELL MONTEZ entitled The Secret Mormon Meetings of 1922 be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS C.

Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School December 2019 i Abstract B. H. Roberts presented information to the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in January of 1922 that fundamentally challenged the entire premise of their religious beliefs. New research shows that in addition to church leadership, this information was also presented during the neXt few months to a select group of highly educated Mormon men and women outside of church hierarchy. This group represented many aspects of Mormon belief, different areas of eXpertise, and varying approaches to dealing with challenging information. Their stories create a beautiful tapestry of Mormon life in the transition years from polygamy, frontier life, and resistance to statehood, assimilation, and respectability. A study of the people involved illuminates an important, overlooked, underappreciated, and eXciting period of Mormon history.

  • 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.

  • EDUCATION in ZION We Move Forward Faithfully Into the Future Only by Understanding Our Past
    EDUCATION IN ZION We move forward faithfully into the future only by understanding our past. Our founding stories reveal to us the higher purposes for which our forebears strove, and help us know the path that we should follow. Come unto me … and learn of me. —Matthew 11:28–29 I am the light, and the life, and the truth of the world. —Ether 4:12 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit. —John 15:5 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. —John 10:11 Feed my lambs. … Feed my sheep. —John 21:15–17 As Latter-day Saints, we believe Christ to be the Source of all light and truth, speaking through His prophets and enlightening and inspiring people everywhere. Therefore, we seek truth wherever it might be found and strive to shape our lives by it. In the Zion tradition, we share the truth freely so that every person might learn and grow and in turn strengthen others. From our faith in Christ and our love for one another, our commitment to education flows.

Elder Woodruff and Brother Benbow traveled to the Herefordshire area to teach William’s brother, John, and his family. The Benbow brothers then invited the neighbors to join them in hearing what the missionary had to say. As a result, 13 people were baptized in this pond on the Benbow farm. They also introduced Elder Woodruff to their former congrega- tion: over 600 people who had formed their own church, the United Brethren. All but one was eventually baptized. Later that year they deeded their Gadfield Elm chapel to the Church. See “To Fill the Earth,” page 24. Liahona, July 2010 24 MESSAGES 18 Choose the Temple DEPARTMENTS By Richard M.
