Book Description

Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 88: November 4, 1926 Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection. And if a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come. The Prophet was true to his principles. He established schools and championed the cause of education. A Mormon writer has said: His educational ideals passed over the threshold of Time and strode down the halls of Eternity. '\vith a full appreciation of the knowledge that makes men and women capable and skilful in this life, he prized and taught others to prize, above all, the knowledge that maketh wise unto salvation. How to make a living here, how to solve life's every-day problems, was, of course, important; but how to grapple successfully with the mightier problems of the Great Hereafter, how to store up treasures in heaven and lay hold upon eternal life. Was far more consequential. Education meant to him the leading out of all the latent potential powers of the individual, the training to perfection of every divine attribute in man, as the child of God and as a god himself, in embryo. He stood for the full and complete development of the soul - body and spirit combined - mental, physical, moral, and spiritual education, the education contemplated and ineul cated by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
