Kimball, en ese entonces JOSÉ SMITH FUE UN MUCHACHO presidente del Quórum de los Doce Apóstoles, escribió: VALIENTE Y RESUELTO “Cuando se vuelve imperante la necesidad de disi- par las nubes del error, de penetrar la oscuridad espiri- tual y de que los cielos se abran, nace un niño. Apenas unos pocos vecinos de la apartada región boscosa y es- carpada [de Vermont] se habían enterado de que Lucy [Mack Smith] estaba esperando un bebé. En ese rústico ambiente no hay cuidado prenatal, ni enfermeras, ni hospital, ni ambulancia ni sala de partos; y los niños viven y mueren y muy pocos se enteran de ello. “¡Lucy tuvo otro hijo! No suenan las trompetas ni hay anuncios de última hora; nadie saca fotografías ni se avisa a nadie; sólo unos cuantos vecinos de la comu- nidad se pasan la voz entre ellos. ¡Fue un varón! Sus hermanos y hermanas están lejos de imaginar que ha Pintura por Theodore S.

Ancestors, Actors and Arachnids: Interesting Things Found in 1 Billion Historic Images By Trent Toone, Deseret News Published: Thursday, June 26 2014 5:00 a.m. MDT Summary This month, FamilySearch reached the milestone of publishing its 1 billionth image of historic records online. What rich nugget of information might you find among 1 billion searchable images? Lisa McBride was browsing through FamilySearch.org's digitized collection of War of 1812 military records online when she found 1st Lt. Robert Puckett of White County, Tennessee, her fifth great-grandfather. Because she knew it was his duty to keep the company rolls, it occurred to her that the handwriting on the image may very well be his. "I connected with him and the sorrow he must have felt as he recorded the deaths of men who served under him," McBride said. "A hunch to browse through a digitized record not only proved a relationship, but told a story of a brave and respected ancestor." McBride's experience of finding Puckett illustrates how taking the time to search through the vast collections of digital images and historic records on FamilySearch.org can yield priceless treasures of family history information. People can also just have fun. Documents, signatures, photos and other records of famous people can be found within the massive mountain of digital data. Earlier this week, FamilySearch International announced the publication of its 1 billionth image.

  • EDUCATION in ZION We Move Forward Faithfully Into the Future Only by Understanding Our Past
    EDUCATION IN ZION We move forward faithfully into the future only by understanding our past. Our founding stories reveal to us the higher purposes for which our forebears strove, and help us know the path that we should follow. Come unto me … and learn of me. —Matthew 11:28–29 I am the light, and the life, and the truth of the world. —Ether 4:12 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit. —John 15:5 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. —John 10:11 Feed my lambs. … Feed my sheep. —John 21:15–17 As Latter-day Saints, we believe Christ to be the Source of all light and truth, speaking through His prophets and enlightening and inspiring people everywhere. Therefore, we seek truth wherever it might be found and strive to shape our lives by it. In the Zion tradition, we share the truth freely so that every person might learn and grow and in turn strengthen others. From our faith in Christ and our love for one another, our commitment to education flows.

  • From Missionary Resort to Memorial Farm: Commemoration and Capitalism at the Birthplace of Joseph Smith, 1905–1925
    Keith A. Erekson: Joseph Smith Memorial Farm 1905–1925 69 From Missionary Resort to Memorial Farm: Commemoration and Capitalism at the Birthplace of Joseph Smith, 1905–1925 Keith A. Erekson For The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the twentieth century was a century of commemoration. Opening with statues of Brigham Young and Joseph Smith in Salt Lake City and closing with temples in Palmyra and Nauvoo, these ten decades witnessed a flurry of activity at historic sites, from monuments and celebrations to pageants and re-enactments. During the first half of the century, LDS historic sites developed individually and displayed a wide variety of functions. A suc- cessful exhibit at the 1964 New York World’s Fair prompted Church leaders to integrate proselytizing efforts into the sites, and during the 1960s and 1970s, the tourist-drawing work of the (non-institutional but member-owned) Nauvoo Restoration Inc. demonstrated the practicality and appeal of authentic site reconstruction. The past quarter century has been marked by both proselytizing and authenticity: Church President Spencer W. Kimball addressed a general conference audience via satellite from a newly constructed Peter Whitmer Farm home in 1980, global cel- ebrations commemorated the 1997 sesquicentennial of the pioneer entry in the Salt Lake Valley, and the Church’s internet site presently adver- tises dozens of historic sites.1 The current ubiquity of historic sites belies the fact that the LDS Church has not always maintained them. When the Church purchased the birthplace of Joseph Smith a century ago, it owned only two other historic sites, and when President Joseph F.

  • David O. Mckay S Confrontation with Communism
    The Red Peril, the Candy Maker, and the Apostle: David O. McKay s Confrontation with Communism Gregory A. Prince THROUGHOUT HIS LONG TENURE as a General Authority, David O. McKay was consistently opposed to Communism, as were his fellow General Au- thorities. Ironically, once he had become president of the Church, opposi- tion to Communism became a seriously divisive issue among the Mormons. On the one hand, McKay gave his special blessing to Ezra Taft Benson as an opponent of Communism, enabling this strong-willed apos- tle to propagate his ultra-right-wing views among Church members—views that included an endorsement of the John Birch Society, founded by candy maker Robert Welch. On the other hand, McKay also responded to Gen- eral Authorities who, despite their own opposition to Communism, took exception to the extremism of Benson and the John Birch Society. These included Apostles Joseph Fielding Smith and Harold B. Lee, as well as Hugh B. Brown and N. Eldon Tanner, McKay's counselors in the First Presidency. Neither the strong-willed Benson nor his protesting colleagues among the apostles ever achieved a clear upper hand with the aging prophet. As a result, Latter-day Saints who endorsed the extreme views of GREGORY A. PRINCE is CEO ofVirion Systems, Inc., a Maryland biotechnol- ogy company. He has published one book, Power from On High: The Development of Mormon Priesthood (Salt Lake City: Signature Books, 1995), and has been research- ing the life of David O. McKay for the past decade. This article is a chapter in his forth- coming biography of President McKay from the University of Utah Press.

  • Disciplining Father
    5 Disciplining Father “If the home does not develop obedience, society will demand it and get it. It is therefore better for the home with its kindness, sympathy, and understanding to train the child in obedience rather than callously to leave him to the brutal and unsympathetic discipline that society will impose.” —David O. McKay1 t is not easy being a parent. In fact, good parenting is one of the Imost difficult challenges that most adults will ever face.2 To be a good parent takes time; it takes effort; it takes patience; it takes con- sistency; it takes perseverance; and it certainly requires unconditional love. Nevertheless, there are many factors in dealing with children that can be out of a parent’s control. Often, while mothers and fathers give parenting their best efforts, some children refuse to cooperate or comply with their parents’ teachings or values. Yes, there are some chil- dren who would give the very best parents a run for their money. Many contemporary children are complex and can have a myriad of issues to contend with. There is no “one-size-fits-all” formula for raising suc- cessful and well-adjusted children in our modern era. Regarding parenting challenges, Elder Bruce C. Hafen shared the following experience: No Other Success I once said in exasperation to my wife, Marie, “The Lord placed Adam and Eve on the earth as full-grown people. Why couldn’t he have done that with this boy of ours, the one with the freckles and the unruly hair?” She replied, “The Lord gave us that child to make Christians out of us.” One night Marie exhausted herself for hours encouraging that child to finish a school assignment to build his own diorama of a Native American village on a cookie sheet.

Cowdery, Martin Harris, and David Whitmer affirmed in written testimony that they saw “the engravings thereon,” and more surprisingly that the voice of God declared Joseph Smith’s translation of the record to be true.1 Even though all three men eventually disassociated themselves from Joseph Smith, later members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints felt to com- memorate Cowdery, Whitmer, and Harris for their role in the Church’s genesis.
