    The Secret Mormon Meetings of 1922

    University of Nevada, Reno THE SECRET MORMON MEETINGS OF 1922 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History By Shannon Caldwell Montez C. 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. Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D., Advisor Cameron B. Strang, Ph.D., Committee Member Greta E. de Jong, Ph.D., Committee Member Erin E. Stiles, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative David W. 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.

    The Assigned Theme for This Lecture Is “How My Scholarship Informs

    TRUTH IS REASON Robert Worrell—Department of English he assigned theme for this lecture is “How My Scholarship Informs TMy Theology.” That appears to be an invitation to bypass some of the formalities of academic writing and use the first person. The phraseology also seems to indicate that scholarship, in general, may impart information and give character to my personal theology, but it does not imply that scholarship informs theology in general. I am comfortable with that. In fact, the subjects I learn and teach in my academic discipline Academic subjects have made me aware of a number of connections and patterns in the have made me scriptures that, without scholarly study, would have remained hidden from me. Perhaps that happens because I am a student of language, and aware of a number the scriptures are written in language, but I think such experiences are of connections and not limited to people in the English Department. Nevertheless, in my case, insights have come as a result of studying and teaching literature, patterns in the and also as a result of studying and teaching writing. scriptures. For this occasion, I will focus on just one of the areas I have learned as a student of language. That area of scholarship is formal logic.I nterestingly, I have been acquainted with some academicians who laud scholarship but avoid formal logic with the same care they take to avoid salmonella poisoning. The contention is that they can “sense” when an argument is right or wrong, and they do not need to be encumbered with all of the tools and paraphernalia.

    Preaching the Gospel of Church and Sex: Mormon Women's Fiction in the Young Woman's Journal, 18894910

    Preaching the Gospel of Church and Sex: Mormon Women's Fiction in the Young Woman's Journal, 18894910 Rebecca de Schweinitz. IN 1889, UTAH NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS informed their audiences about the start of a new monthly magazine, the Young Woman's Journal (YWJ). Initiated and first edited by Susa Young Gates, the daughter of Mormonism's second prophet, this journal, directed to girls and young, unmarried women in the Latter-day Saint (LDS) church, was to contain "the most elevating ideas of the Daughters of Zion."1 The YWJ published poems, stories, and articles, written overwhelmingly by women. It ana- lyzed "great" books like Anna Karenina and discussed topics such as women's health, suffrage, and marriage. The YWJ reveals both similari- ties and differences in the experiences and attitudes of Mormon women and women nationally, and it shows that LDS women were concerned about promoting their church and their sex. 1.

  • The Return of Oliver Cowdery

    The Return of Oliver Cowdery

    The Return of Oliver Cowdery Scott H. Faulring On Sunday, 12 November 1848, apostle Orson Hyde, president of the Quorum of the Twelve and the church’s presiding ofcial at Kanesville-Council Bluffs, stepped into the cool waters of Mosquito Creek1 near Council Bluffs, Iowa, and took Mormonism’s estranged Second Elder by the hand to rebaptize him. Sometime shortly after that, Elder Hyde laid hands on Oliver’s head, conrming him back into church membership and reordaining him an elder in the Melchizedek Priesthood.2 Cowdery’s rebaptism culminated six years of desire on his part and protracted efforts encouraged by the Mormon leadership to bring about his sought-after, eagerly anticipated reconciliation. Cowdery, renowned as one of the Three Witnesses to the Book of Mormon, corecipient of restored priesthood power, and a founding member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, had spent ten and a half years outside the church after his April 1838 excommunication. Oliver Cowdery wanted reafliation with the church he helped organize. His penitent yearnings to reassociate with the Saints were evident from his personal letters and actions as early as 1842. Oliver understood the necessity of rebaptism. By subjecting himself to rebaptism by Elder Hyde, Cowdery acknowledged the priesthood keys and authority held by the First Presidency under Brigham Young and the Twelve. Oliver Cowdery’s tenure as Second Elder and Associate President ended abruptly when he decided not to appear and defend himself against misconduct charges at the 12 April

    Martin Harris: the Kirtland Years, 18314870

    Martin Harris: The Kirtland Years, 18314870 H. Michael Marquardt MARTIN HARRIS IS KNOWN for being a Book of Mormon scribe, witness, and financier. However, little is known about his activities while living in Kirtland, Ohio, for over thirty-five years. This article will present what is known about Harris during the Kirtland years. Included will be his re- lationship to other Restoration churches under the leadership of James J. Strang (including Harris's mission to England), William E. McLellin, and so forth. A brief background of Harris's life in New York will also be given to help understand his place in the early life of the church. NEW YORK SEEKER Martin Harris was born on 18 May 1783 at Eastown, New York. He was a well-established farmer of Palmyra, Ontario (later Wayne) County, New York. At the age of twenty-six, Harris married his cousin Lucy; he was nine years her senior. They had a family of four known children. He became a close associate of Joseph Smith, Jr., whom he assisted finan- cially, and he acted as a scribe to Smith.1 He also financed the publication of the Book of Mormon by mortgaging his farm. As an early convert of Mormonism, he was received into fellowship by baptism on the day the church was organized. Due to the time and resources spent on his new re- ligion, Harris became partially separated from his wife, Lucy. Orsamus Turner, a printer in New York, described Harris thusly: Martin Harris, was a farmer of Palmyra, the owner of a good farm, and an honest worthy citizen; but especially given to religious enthusiasm, new creeds, the more extravagant the better; a monomaniac, in fact.2 1.

This volume is not intended to be a comprehensive review of his life nor of the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints which he founded. Instead, it gives glimps- es into many well-known and some not-so-familiar events that took place before and during Joseph Smith’s lifetime. It includes a brief look into the lives of Joseph’s grandfather Asael; his parents, Joseph Senior and Lucy Mack; and his wife, Emma.
  • A Selected Bibliography of Recent Books on Mormons and Mormonism

    A Selected Bibliography of Recent Books on Mormons and Mormonism

    AMONG THE MORMONS A Selected Bibliography of Recent Books on Mormons and Mormonism Stephen W. Stathis [cholarly as well as popular interest in Mormonism continues at an almost unprecedented rate. The Saints remain, as they always have, a peculiar people. Their history, as Winfred E. Garrison aptly observed, "bris- tles" with controversial issues that make it one of the "most interesting strands of American history." During the past century and a half they have survived fierce opposition and surmounted tremendous obstacles. Early in their history Mormons were driven from state to state in search of an area in which they might worship in peace. Yet, as C. LeRoy Anderson dramatically points out in his recent study, For Christ Will Come Tomorrow: The Saga of the Morrisites, they have had little sympathy for those who left their movement and sought answers elsewhere. Another milestone in candor is D. Michael Quinn's /. Reuben Clark: The Church Years, which covers the sensitive and important problems that con- fronted the Church as it sought to become a world-wide denomination. Gary L. Bunker and Davis Bitton, in capturing The Mormon Graphic Image, 1834- 1914, have helped us to understand better why Saints once had horns. Although Harold Schindler's newly revised edition of his classic biography of Orrin Porter Rockwell: Man of God, Son of Thunder has received mixed reviews, his exhaustive research and journalistic style still make it an attractive study. Destined also to have a significant impact on how Mormonism is viewed in the future are Conway B. Sonne's Saints on the Seas: A Maritime History of Mormon Migration, Donald O.

  • Selective Bibliography on African-Americans and Mormons 1830-1990

    Selective Bibliography on African-Americans and Mormons 1830-1990

    Selective Bibliography on African-Americans and Mormons 1830-1990 Compiled by Chester Lee Hawkins INTRODUCTION AFRICAN-AMERICAN MORMONS until recently have received little atten- tion, at least partly because of the limited bibliographical listings that coordinate the sources available for historical or scholarly research papers on their history. This bibliography, though selective, attempts to change that, to meet the needs of the LDS scholarly and religious community. This work catalogues a variety of reference materials on the role of African-Americans in Mormon history from 1830 to 1990. Included are books and monographs, general and LDS serials, newspaper arti- cles, theses and dissertations, pamphlets, and unpublished works such as journal entries, letters, and speeches, as well as materials relating to the 1978 revelation that "all worthy males" can be ordained to the priesthood in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I have divided the bibliography into nine major divisions and have included many annotated entries. It is my hope that this work will assist others who are interested in undertaking research projects that will lead to a more definitive and scholarly study of African-Americans' contributions to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This Selective Bibliography is important for all who wish to contribute to the study of African-Americans in the Mormon church. It is my hope that Latter-day Saints today will understand and appreciate the joys and struggles that African-Americans have had throughout the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
