Book Description

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 84: August 31, 1922 The Latter-day Saints hold pronounced views relative to these questions which I have had the temerity to pro pound for discussion. The people who embrace the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as is taught by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, believe firmly that there are, within the philosophies revealed to them, the solutions for these questions and problems and the rules of action by which men may be guided to forestall occurrences of this kind in the future, and to insure the peace of the world and the stability of righteous and lawful institutions. In the first place, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believes in and advocates a God, a Father in heaven. Its concep tion. Of that Father in heaven is such as to induce a complete confidence and trust in his providence, his mercy, his kindness and his good-will toward all men who are his children and all men are, in the conception of the Church, his children. That conception of God is conducive to a supreme faith which makes every Latter-day Saint say, in his heart, that God is over all; that he will protect that the destiny of human beings, of nations and worlds, lies in his hands; that he, in his kindness and providence, will give to men that which they should have for their welfare and progression in this world, in preparation for the eternal life which is to come.
