    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. Sincerely yours, Alyn B. Andrus MILO ANDRUS, MISSIONARY, PIONEER AND COLONIZER (PART II) by Hyrum L. Andrus Part I of this history of Milo Andrus concludes with his appointment to lead the last immigrant company from Mormon Grove to Salt Lake City, beginning in August, 1855. Since its publication the compiler of this history has found four additional documents which pertain to Milo's life to this point that should be included here before continuing the general history of his life.

  • Is the Mormon Star KOLOB a Location for “Thou Fount of Every Blessing?”
    Is the Mormon star KOLOB a location for “Thou Fount of Every Blessing?” SATAN is certainly a master at using MUSIC to sugar-coat heresy and introduce it into the minds of those who move in professing Christian circles. A lovely hymn that I have sung over my years as a Christian is ‘Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing’. There is a ‘version’ on YouTube that can be viewed on this link – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z3pjXmNq2g&fbclid=IwAR0chJe- 8kivwOn5evO2yQFJMFmJcgamkMZ7GpLSdfngmE-UFErVa7ya0Fw The title for the video reads – ‘Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing / If You Could Hie to Kolob’ – by Elenyi & Sarah Young. So, perhaps you’re wondering to yourself, what’s this ‘If You Could Hie to Kolob’. Well it relates to something that is foreign to the original hymn but that has been inserted into the rendition. Perhaps like me you would need to find out what ‘hie’ means’, well it means ‘go quickly’. Then secondly you might wonder what is this ‘KOLOB’ that you might want to ‘hie’ to. Let me quote from pages 32-33 of ‘Mormons Answered Verse by Verse’ by David Reed and John Farkas. Just by way of additional help, Mormonism recognises 4 authoritative books, The Book of Mormon, The Bible, Doctrine and Covenants and The Pearl of Great Price. This last one is actually a collection of smaller writings such as ‘The Book of Moses’ and ‘The Book of Abraham’. Keeping that in mind let’s see what we can we learn about KOLOB? Mr Reed and Mr Farkas wrote – ‘The “Book of Abraham” is unique in that it features three cuts or facsimiles of the Egyptian papyrus from which Joseph Smith claimed he “translated” it… It is described as “The writings of Abraham while he was in Egypt, called the “Book of Abraham”, written by his own hand upon papyrus”.

Bartholomew: The Patterns of Missionary Work and Emigration in Early Victorian The Patterns of Missionary Work and Emigration in Early Victorian Buckinghamshire, England, 1849–1878 Ronald E. Bartholomew atter-day Saint missionaries from America began proselyting in L Buckinghamshire, England, in the 1840s and established the first branches of the Church there in 1849, but they did not experience the same dramatic successes their colleagues encountered in other regions of the British Isles. Indeed, most of the baptisms in this more rural county came as a result of missionary work by local converts. Several factors help explain the Buckinghamshire experience, and in many ways missionary work in this region may actually be more representative of Church growth in other parts of the world than the phenomenal conversion rates experi- enced in certain more industrial areas of England in the middle to latter years of the nineteenth century.

  • Event Horizon #2 October 2019
    Event Horizon #2 October 2019 An efanzines exclusive & A Ninth Fandom Publication Fandom is a Way of Life—for Dogs and Other Trash----Squink Blog Fandom is jest a goddamn hobby—you’ll find them in Hell, working at what they cannot accomplish, suffering utter damnation in blind unknowingness. The above quotations, although they may add quality to our publication as headings due to their literary nature and link to fannish tradition, are not true and lack nobility; what are their authors but those lacking true enlightenment? This is a publication wrought by Oort Cloud Publications/VacHume Press, intended for circulation in fandom. Anyone not liking it does not respect the publisher or the press. The editor is John Thiel, 30 N. 19th Street, Lafayette, Indiana 47904, who may be accessed by email at [email protected] . The cover shows a fearless spaceman who has elected to be in outer space in the visible vicinity of a black hole. We need men like him. Of course a Live Coward has something to be said for him also, but will anyone say it? It is unintended matter that a live coward has banked up for him. But are we in fandom more like the live coward or the dead hero? We are more like the live cowards, and we write the reports, etc. Anyone who goes near a black hole isn’t going to come back arguing about what we say about him. But, again, doesn’t a black hole somewhat resemble the world we live in? We lie around in our bunks, searching for an event horizon that will be the sign of our emergence from this so-called “black hole” that we are metaphorically to be found in.

  • St. Louis Luminary: the Latter-Day Saint Experience at the Mississippi River, 1854–1855
    St. Louis Luminary: The Latter-day Saint Experience at the Mississippi River, 1854–1855 Susan Easton Black he St. Louis Luminary, an LDS newspaper printed in St. Louis, was Tshort lived but is a key to chronicling the status of the Church on the American frontier in 1854 and 1855. Although it was only one volume, the newspaper contained fifty-two issues, each spanning four pages in length with each page divided into five columns. This translates into approximately twenty-six hundred single-spaced pages on 8½" x 11" paper. From the first issue on Wednesday, November 22, 1854, to the last issue on Saturday, December 15, 1855, its masthead proclaimed the paper a “light [shining] in darkness and the darkness comprehendeth it not,” a refer- ence to the gospel being published in the Luminary in the “gentile” city of St. Louis. A new book, The Best of the St. Louis Luminary, gives an in-depth history of the newspaper and its contents, and includes a DVD of scans of the entire volume of the newspaper in a searchable format. This article is excerpted from that book. Because of the years in which this newspaper was printed, it played a significant role in the national discussion of polygamy, which had not been publicly announced until 1852.1 The paper printed an unrelenting defense of polygamy against a backdrop of exaggerated reports and sensational claims that stemmed from the halls of Congress and from eastern newspapers. Editor Erastus Snow did not hesitate to confront politicians, newspaper col- umnists, or even the president of the United States on the issue.

God teaches with symbols; it is his favorite method of teaching.—Orson F. Whitney1 Abraham 3 is one of the most enigmatic sections of the Pearl of Great Price. Teacher and student together sense there is something more to the text than the meaning they are drawing out of it. Each thorough exploration gently nudges another layer of understanding from the text, but we always feel we have unraveled only the smallest portion of what it has to offer.

Inside the coffins in connection with two mummies were two rolls and fragments of papyri. On opening the coffins, he [Michael H. Chandler] discovered that in connection with two of the bodies, was something rolled up with the same kind of linen, saturated with the same bitumen, which, when examined, proved to be two rolls of papyrus, previously Joseph Smith mentioned. Two or three other small ~ Mormonism founder pieces of papyrus, with astronomical calculations, epitaphs, &c., were found History of the Church 2:349 with others of the mummies. Since Joseph claimed to have translated "Reformed Egyptian" to produce the Book of Mormon (Mormon 9:32), and claimed to be a seer (D&C 124:125)—one who can "translate all records that are of ancient date" (Mosiah 8:13), he was approached to translate the characters on the papyri. On the 3rd of July, Michael H. Chandler came to Kirtland to exhibit some Egyptian mummies. There were four human figures, together with some two or more rolls of papyrus covered with hieroglyphic figures and devices.
