The Periodical Literature of the Latter Day Saints
Journal of His tory VOL. XIV, No. 3 INDEPENDENCE, MISSOURI JULY, 1921 THE PERIODICAL LITERATURE OF THE LATTER DAY SAINTS BY WALTER W. SMITH The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was little more than a year old when by conference action a monthly periodical was provided for, as indicated by the fol lowing item from the minutes of a conference held at Hiram, Ohio, September, 1831. THE EVENING AND MORNING STAR A conference was held, in which Brother W. W. Phelps was in structed to stop at Cincinnati on his way to Missouri, and purchase a press and type, for the purpose of establishing and publishing a monthly paper at Independence, Jackson County, Missouri, to be called the "Eve ning and Morning Star."-Times and Seasons, vol. 5, p. 481. ·w. W. Phelps, ifl }larmony with the instructions, went to Cincinnati, Ohio, secured the press and type and proceeded to Independence, Jack son County, Missouri, where he issued a prospectus setting forth his in tentions; extracts from which indicate the attitude of Saints relative to the publication of the message of the Restored. Gospel. The Evening and the Morning Star will be published at Independence, Jackson County, State of Missouri. As the forerunner of the night of the end, and the messenger of the day of redemption, the Star will borrow its light from sacred sources, and be devoted to the revelations of God as made known to his servants by the Holy Ghost, at sundry times since the creation of man, but more especially in these last days, for restoration of the house of Israel. -

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. -

Title Redemption of the Dead: Continuing Revelation after Joseph Smith Author(s) David L. Paulsen, Judson Burton, Kendel J. Christensen, and Martin Pulido Reference Journal of the Book of Mormon and Other Restoration Scripture 20/2 (2011): 52–69. ISSN 1948-7487 (print), 2167-7565 (online) Abstract After Joseph Smith’s death, the Saints still had many questions regarding the soteriological problem of evil and the doctrines about redeeming the dead. This paper details what leaders of the church after Joseph Smith have said in response to these previously unan- swered questions. They focus on the nature of Christ’s visit to the spirit world, those who were commis- sioned to preach the gospel to the departed spirits, the consequences of neglecting the gospel in mortal- ity, and the extent and role of temple ordinances for those not eligible for celestial glory. -
The Story of Early Mormonism in Philadelphia
Stephen J. Fleming: Discord in Early Philadelphia 3 Discord in the City of Brotherly Love: The Story of Early Mormonism in Philadelphia Stephen J. Fleming Although a handful of visits to Philadelphia were made throughout the 1830s, Mormon proselyting began there in earnest in 1839. This endeavor was part of a larger proselyting effort that had begun a year earlier through- out the counties surrounding Philadelphia. Lorenzo Barnes and Elisha Davis had met with great success in nearby Chester County, Pennsylvania, and Benjamin Winchester had also made numerous converts in central New Jersey.1 The next summer, Winchester began proselytizing in Philadelphia. At first, he “was ridiculed on almost ev[e]ry occasion when I enquired for a house” to preach in, yet he persevered. Winchester finally found a hall and “a crowded congregation attended the meeting.” After Winchester preached there about a dozen times, he debated with a Presbyterian minister, “which was the means of doing much good. By this time there was quite an excite- ment, and the former prejudices of the people seemed in part removed.” Winchester baptized several in Philadelphia, “and I feel myself authorized to say that the work of the Lord is gaining ground, in this city: and I trust that it will still roll on.”2 Joseph Smith’s visit to the area on his way to Washington, D.C., in the winter of 1839–40 spurred further growth of Mormonism in the area. A local newspaper reported that the Prophet “visited New Egypt, Hornerstown, and Toms River [New Jersey] and sealed a large number to the church.”3 Joseph also established branches in Philadelphia and Chester County, STEPHEN J. -

Seminal Versus Sesquicentennial Saints: a Look at Mormon Millenniausm
SEMINAL VERSUS SESQUICENTENNIAL SAINTS: A LOOK AT MORMON MILLENNIAUSM GRANT UNDERWOOD FEW TOPICS SEEM TO ENGAGE the interest of the Latter-day Saints more vigor- ously than that of the Second Coming of Christ. Over the years, numerous books treating this topic have issued from the Mormon press. Common to most of them, though, is an ahistorical approach. Undergirding these works is the assumption that the Church has always understood adventist doctrine in the same way, that it has always been doctrinally monochrome. Thus, the authors have felt justified in citing early leaders' elaborations to explain the modern position, or perhaps more seriously, they have assumed that present-day ideas are representative of those at any point in the past. To trace thoroughly such development across the 150-year span of Mormon history would fill a small volume.1 My purpose, therefore, will be limited to a con- sideration and comparison of Mormon millennial thought now current with that prevalent during the 1830s. Publications printed in the 1830s, both periodicals and pamphlets, provide the source material for an understanding of early thinking; the 1978 Church publication, Gospel Principles, provides a clear, concise and nearly official exposition of Mormon doctrine as it now stands at the celebration of its sesquicentennial anniversary.2 This comparison of millennialism during the two periods will be organ- ized around three central issues—who will be on the earth during the mil- lennium, what will be accomplished during the millennium, and what condi- tions will then prevail? Finally, significant strands of thought which defy this format will be considered separately. -

Kimball Central Publications Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Illinois ©2014 Southern Illinois University Edwardsville 2nd edition, revised and enlarged, May, 1966 FOREWORD In the course of developing a book and manuscript collection and in providing reference service to students and faculty, a univeristy library frequently prepares special bibliographies, some of which may prove to be of more than local interest. The Bibliographic Contributions series, of which this is the first number, has been created as a means of sharing the results of such biblio graphic efforts with our colleagues in other universities. The contribu tions to this series will appear at irregular intervals, will vary widely in subject matter and in comprehensiveness, and will not necessarily follow a uniform bibliographic format. Because many of the contributions will be by-products of more extensive research or will be of a tentative nature, the series is presented in this format. Comments, additions, and corrections will be welcomed by the compilers. The author of the initial contribution in the series is Associate Professor of History of Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, Illinois. He has been engaged in research on the Nauvoo period of the Mormon Church since he came to the university in 1959 and has published numerous articles on this subject. -

Fleming In the summer of , Elder Benjamin Winchester (fig. ) ventured into Monmouth County, New Jersey, to preach to gospel.₁ Winchester was the first Mormon missionary to make it into the Pine Barrens, an area so named because of its sandy, unproductive land. Soon “the news went abroad, that a Mormon preacher had made his appearance in the land.” Winchester wrote, “As to [Mormon] principles, and rules of faith, the people knew nothing, except by reports. [and] the people flocked out, in crowds to hear, yet at this time, more out of curiosity than any thing else.” Once Winchester began preaching to the people, the people found his mes- sage “so different from what they had expected, that it caused a spirit of inquiry, so much so, that I had calls in every direction.” The more Win- chester preached, “the greater the excitement, so that in every town, and neighborhood, where I had preached, what the world calls Mormonism, was the grand topic of conversation.”₂ After Winchester’s initial contact with the Pine Barrens, he continued to preach throughout the summer of , particularly in Hornerstown and New Egypt. -
Mormonism's New England Ministry of the Forgotten E
Barney: The Forgotten Eli P. Maginn 157 “There is the Greatest Excitement in This Country That I Ever Beheld”: Mormonism’s New England Ministry of the Forgotten Eli P. Maginn Ronald O. Barney Ronald O. Barney is editor of Mormon Historical Studies. He is past Associ- ate Editor of the Joseph Smith Papers, and an archivist and historian for the LDS Church History Department for thirty-three years. The story of Eli P. Maginn is an unusual Mormon story that speaks of activities conducted in the periphery of Mormonism, away from the puls- ing complexity that often characterized the center of Mormon gravity in its formative years. This outlying circumstance elevates the story’s importance because Eli P. Maginn (ca. 1818–1844) reminds us that much of the broad scope of the early church remains be mined, that more remains to be un- derstood and disseminated about the Mormon past for us to make sense of the genesis of the religion and its people. Maginn’s life not only augments what we already know about the early Saints but also adds angles and di- mensions requiring us to reconsider ensconced traditions. This is a story illustrating the early missionary work of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in North America.1 In the absence of Maginn’s personal records and institutional compilations of the church’s missionary records, which were not kept at this time, Maginn’s role during the formative period of Mormon history survives through a few items of 1 The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, referred to hereafter in this study as the church or LDS Church, was founded as the Church of Christ and known as the Church of Latter Day Saints at the time of Maginn’s affiliation, ob- taining its current appellation in 1838.
