The Tabernacle was filled, all the seats being occupied both in the gallery and in the body of the house. People from all parts of the Church were present. The choir and congregation sang, "Come, come, ye Saints, no toil nor labor fear." The opening prayer was offered by Elder S. Norman Lee, presi- dent of the Box Elder stake of Zion. The choir and congregation sang, "Do what is right, the daydawn is breaking." PRESIDENT HEBER J. GRANT It is a source of great pleasure and satisfaction to me to see such a magnificent audience here today, almost completely filling this house. I am sure that those who are standing in the gallery and on the south side of the building, by a little closing up on the part of the audience, could all have a seat. I have no recollection of ever seeing an audience here on a week day, in the opening of our con- ference, where there were so many people standing when we com- menced speaking. There could be no greater evidence of the interest of the Latter-day Saints than is shown by this great outpouring of people at the first meeting of our General Conference, and I am grateful to all those who are here assembled. I know you have come here with a desire to be fed the bread of life. I have no desire whatever to say anything to you this morning except that which may be for your bene- fit, as well as for my own. ENGAGED FOR MANY YEARS IN PROCLAIMING THE GOSPEL Forty years ago this October conference, I met the late Elder George Teasdale of the Council of the Twelve, at the south gate, and he shook hands with me and said : "Brother Grant, I am delighted to see you. You and I are going to be"—and he stopped suddenly and his face turned red; but the Lord gave me the balance of the sentence. Four times in my life I have been permitted to read the thoughts of people. The balance of Brother Teasdale's sentence was "sustained this afternoon as apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ to fill the vacancies in the Quorum," and that went through me like a shock of electricity. I came to the Sunday afternoon meet- ing of the conference, because of this partial sentence, and the bal- ance that was given to me, with the assurance in my heart that Brother Teasdale and myself would be sustained as apostles. Those of you who were at that conference remember that it adjourned without fill- ing those vacancies. I do not believe that any mortal man ever more humbly supplicated God during the next few days to forgive him for his egotism than I did for thinking that I was to be chosen as an : PRESIDENT HEBER J. GRANT 3 apostle. As you are aware, within a week a revelation came to John Taylor calling Brother Teasdale and myself to those positions. For forty years I have been engaged in proclaiming the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and bearing witness to my knowledge that God lives, that Jesus is the Christ, the Savior of the world, that Joseph Smith is a prophet of the true and the living God. I have had the privilege of bearing that testimony in nearly every state of the Union, in Canada on the north, in Mexico on the south, in the Hawai- ian Islands, in far-off Japan, in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, France, Italy, Norway, Swe- den, and Denmark, and I have had exceeding great joy, during all of those forty years, in bearing this testimony. I was undecided in my mind, before coming to this meeting which of the many things that I had read in the Book of Mormon and in the Doctrine and Covenants I would speak upon. The only question was Which is the one theme to present? I have no hesitancy now as to the thing to talk about, because the opening prayer was on the identi- cal subject of the first item that I read this morning in the Doctrine and Covenants, and that was to sustain and to uphold the laws of the land. BELIEF OF THE LATTER-DAY SAINTS ON GOVERNMENT AND LAWS IN GENERAL I have been criticized, time and time again, by friends and others, and have had much splendid advice given to me not to read so much in public because nothing could be more tiresome to an audience than reading; but I am not here for the purpose of saying something to tickle your ears or to please you, but I am here with a prayer in my heart to say those things that shall be for your best good and benefit, and mine also. I honestly believe that it will be for our best good to hear every word of an entire section of the Doctrine and Covenants which is: "A Declaration of Belief regarding Governments and Laws in general, adopted by unanimous vote at a general assembly of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, held at Kirtland, Ohio, August 17, 1S35." (Section 134.) "We believe that governments were instituted of God for the benefit of man ; and that he holds men accountable for their acts in relation to them, both in making laws and administering them, for the good and safety of society. "We believe that no government can exist in peace, except such laws are framed and held inviolate as will secure to each individual the free exercise of conscience, the right and control of property, and the protection of life." (And that means the right to labor without taking the chance of being killed.) "We believe that all governments necessarily require civil officers and magistrates; to enforce the laws of the same ; and that such as will administer the law in equity and justice should be sought for and upheld by the voice of the people (if a republic) or the will of the sovereign. "We believe that religion is instituted of God ; and that men are amenable to him, and to him only, for the exercise of it, unless their religious opinions 4 GENERAL CONFERENCE prompt them to infringe upon the rights liberties and of others ; but we do not believe that human law has a right to interfere in prescribing rules of wor- ship to bind the consciences of men, nor dictate forms for public or private devotion; that the civil magistrate should restrain crime, but never control conscience ; should punish guilt, but never suppress the freedom of the soul.

    Levi Ward Hancock (Pioneer) mentioned in D&C 52:29 & 124:138 The Posterity of Nathaniel Hancock Nathaniel Hancock Nathaniel Hancock Thomas Hancock John Hancock John Hancock John Hancock Thomas Hancock John Hancock Thomas Hancock (The signer) Levi Ward Hancock (The pioneer) Our immigrant ancestor, Nathaniel Hancock, was the second great-grandfather of John Hancock, President of the Continental Congress and the first Signer of the Declaration of Independence. Nathaniel was also the second great-grandfather of Thomas Hancock, third cousin of President John Thomas had two brothers killed in the War of Independence. He then tried to enlist as a youth, but the officers thought three sons taken from one family was too much. A LOVER OF FREEDOM: Thomas Hancock had a son, Levi Ward Hancock. He was one of the Presidents of the First Council of Seventy, and a faithful Utah pioneer. He, too, was lover of freedom, and also suffered at the hands of the enemies. In the face of violence in Missouri, he wrote a patriotic song one Fourth of July, which his brother, Solomon Hancock, sang at the celebration. In it, there were appealing lines. Then God armed our fathers with power, They told the brave tale to their children, And Washington came to our aid, And told them the same to hand down And in wisdom conducted the battle To their children’s children forever, And soon made the Tories afraid. Until the great trumpet shall sound. Hark, hear how the great battle rages, Exalt then the standard of freedom, Behold him undauntedly stand.

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.

    PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE We need your help. For years now, the Milo Andrus Family Organization has operated, for the most part, on money submitted by sub- scribers to the Recorder. A subscription to the Recorder for one year amounts to $6.00. This is not enough to finance such a lication and pay the expenses of the genealogical research. We need more money. Surely we have Andrus's with extra "bucs" who could supplement our financial resources with some generous contributions. We know we can't "take it with us." And what better way to spend it than to ferret out the names of our ancestors who are undoubtedly waiting for their temple work to be done. We plead with any of you who have money you could contribute to the Organization to do so. We assure you, it will be well spent. If any of you have ideas about how to generate additional funds, we would appreciate hearing from you. Pooling our resources and working together will be the key to success in our research program. Write to: Alyn B. Andrus, President 64 S. 3rd E. Rexburg, Idaho 83440 Sharon Long, Treasurer Route #1 Box 77 Shelley, Idaho 83274 Let us hear from you. And thanks for your support.

  • “For This Ordinance Belongeth to My House”: the Practice of Baptism for the Dead Outside the Nauvoo Temple
    Alexander L. Baugh: Baptism for the Dead Outside Temples 47 “For This Ordinance Belongeth to My House”: The Practice of Baptism for the Dead Outside the Nauvoo Temple Alexander L. Baugh The Elders’ Journal of July 1838, published in Far West, Missouri, includ- ed a series of twenty questions related to Mormonism. The answers to the questions bear the editorial pen of Joseph Smith. Question number sixteen posed the following query: “If the Mormon doctrine is true, what has become of all those who have died since the days of the apostles?” The Prophet answered, “All those who have not had an opportunity of hearing the gospel, and being administered to by an inspired man in the flesh, must have it hereafter before they can be finally judged.”1 The Prophet’s thought is clear—the dead must have someone in mortality administer the saving ordinances for them to be saved in the kingdom of God. Significantly, the answer given by the Prophet marks his first known statement concerning the doctrine of vicari- ous work for the dead. However, it was not until more than two years later that the principle was put into practice.2 On 15 August 1840, Joseph Smith preached the funeral sermon of Seymour Brunson during which time he declared for the first time the doc- trine of baptism for the dead.3 Unfortunately, there are no contemporary accounts of the Prophet’s discourse. However, Simon Baker was present at the funeral services and later stated that during the meeting the Prophet read extensively from 1 Corinthians 15, then noted a particular widow in the congregation whose son had died without baptism.

U I ,·\H INTRODUCTION During the nineteenth-century, almost 85,000 Mormon emigrants crossed the oceans to America. Motivated by the doctrine of gathering, they were drawn to the Great Basin in droves. The missionaries who converted them also accompanied them on their ocean voyages and across the continent. While compiling a source guide to Mormon pioneer companies crossing the plains, we realized that a source guide to ocean narratives might also be valued by family researchers and historians. Past experience in providing reference assistance to researchers and historians di eta ted the focus of this source guide. Na r ra ti ves of ocean travel and shipboard life of Mormon emigrants and missionaries found in published and unpublished letters, reports, and journals were included. These were further limited to primary accounts of voyages across the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean to America. Accounts of voyages in large organized companies, small groups, or single Mormon individuals were included. Accounts of the ocean travels of Mormons departing from American ports to other countries were not included in this guide.

  • 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
