    NOTES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LINGUISTIC SOCIETY OF AMERICA 1924 TO 1950 MARTIN JOOS for JENNIE MAE JOOS FORE\\ORO It is important for the reader of this document to know how it came to be written and what function it is intended to serve. In the early 1970s, when the Executive Committee and the Committee on Pub1ications of the linguistic Society of America v.ere planning for the observance of its Golden Anniversary, they decided to sponsor the preparation of a history of the Society's first fifty years, to be published as part of the celebration. The task was entrusted to the three living Secretaries, J M. Cowan{who had served from 1940 to 1950), Archibald A. Hill {1951-1969), and Thomas A. Sebeok {1970-1973). Each was asked to survey the period of his tenure; in addition, Cowan,who had learned the craft of the office from the Society's first Secretary, Roland G. Kent {deceased 1952),was to cover Kent's period of service. At the time, CO'flal'\was just embarking on a new career. He therefore asked his close friend Martin Joos to take on his share of the task, and to that end gave Joos all his files. Joos then did the bulk of the research and writing, but the~ conferred repeatedly, Cowansupplying information to which Joos v.t>uldnot otherwise have had access. Joos and HiU completed their assignments in time for the planned publication, but Sebeok, burdened with other responsibilities, was unable to do so. Since the Society did not wish to bring out an incomplete history, the project was suspended.

My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.

    Insights on Church Leadership Marcus H. Martins, Ph.D. Brigham Young University - Hawaii Copyright © 1993, 1999, 2001 (web edition) by Marcus H. Martins All Rights Reserved This text may be printed or copied for incidental home or Church use This is not an official publication of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Chapter 9 Prejudice The Prophet Lehi taught that coincidence has no place in the plan of salvation. He said: "... all things have been done in the wisdom of him who knoweth all things.1" In the book of Psalms we find the following statement: "O Lord, how manifold [i.e. marked by diversity or variety] are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.2" With the advances in instant communication of the late twentieth century we have engaged in more frequent association with people of nationalities and cultures other than our won than probably any other civilization in the known history. Even in the Church of Christ we see congregations with varying degrees of cultural (i.e. national, ethnic, racial, or linguistic) diversity. This has been a common characteristic of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since the early days in this dispensation, although today the diversity is more along racial and ethnic lines than ever before. With this diversity comes the need to understand, respect, and accommodate individuals of many cultures in order to build a truly worldwide Zion. But going beyond recent "politically correct" trends, we can use cultural diversity as a significant advantage in the kingdom of God on earth.

  • The Religious Educator Perspectives on the Restored Gospel
    Eric Paul Rogers interviewing Tom Tyler at his home in Provo, Utah Photo by Juan Henderson “I Have Chalk in My Blood!”An Interview with Thomas L. Tyler Eric Paul Rogers Eric Paul Rogers is supervisor of strategic planning for the Church Educational System. After thirty-nine years as a religious educator, Tom Tyler retired from the Church Educational System (CES) in 2002. Brother Tyler’s unique talents as a curriculum designer, teacher, and administrator had a profound impact on countless individuals and upon CES as a whole. Although retired, he is still actively engaged in teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. I visited with him just prior to his departure for California, where he was to deliver a Know Your Religion lecture in San Luis Obispo. He remarked, “I love to teach. I have chalk in my blood!” Returning to San Luis Obispo is like going home for him. One of his early teaching assignments with CES was at the institute at California Polytechnic State University. Where did your curriculum experience come from? My mother and father were always teaching in the Church. They often shared their preparations with us kids. That was my earliest curriculum experience. I worked in curriculum from early on. I had learned printing in high school. I loved printing and graphics. When I went on my mission to Chile, we didn’t have Church distribution centers. Each mission just did its own thing in terms of Sunday School, priesthood, and Relief Society manuals. We also borrowed from other missions. When they created the Chilean Mission in 1961, President A.

  • Bea Lim De Jager Jan
    Bea Lim de Jager Jan. 6, 1927 ~ March 10, 2017 Bea Lim de Jager, age 90, loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother, passed away peacefully of natural causes. She was born in Cibinong, Indonesia to Eddy Lim and Hendrika Harmsen, and was married to Jacob de Jager in Jakarta, Indonesia. Bea studied in the Netherlands to become an English teacher and successfully taught in her homeland for several years before returning to Holland with her husband. They were baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Toronto, Canada and sealed as a family in the Bern, Switzerland temple. Her life was dedicated to teaching, Church service, and supporting her husband through 30 moves during his business career and church service as a General Authority, and charitable and humanitarian efforts. While traveling with her husband, she would always give her testimony in the native language of the people, whether Tagalog, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Indonesian, or Spanish. The church members were grateful for this special gesture. She was preceded in death by her eternal companion Jacob de Jager, parents, and sister. She is survived by her brother Guy Lim, two children, Michael de Jager, and Audrey Poulson (Ron). Eight grandchildren: Natalie de Jager,Chelsea Webb (Jay),Megan Redd (Jeremy),Jessica de Jager,Joshua Poulson (Jolee),David Poulson (Alana),Rachel Stephenson (Andrew), andMichelle Bracken (Daniel). Five great grandchildren: Max, Brennan, Maddix, Kinleigh, Rocco,and Elenor. We would like to thank Rocky Mountain Care and Hospice for their love, care, and support of our mother. We also wish to express our heartfelt appreciation to Kirsten Hansen who was mother\s loyal friend and assistant for nearly 20 years.
