Mission Newspaper Since arming in South Africa I have labored in the Cape, Eastern, and Transvaal Provinces and worked in Branches a thousand miles apart. I worked for seven months as Associate Editor of Cunrorahs Southern Messenger, mission newspaper, and as Mission Commissarian. Then I was transferred to work as Branch President in Port Elizabeth, the branch claiming the distinction of being farthest in miles from the center of Zion. I labored for three months In Johannesburg and the Transvaal as District Clerk and now I am spending my time juggling books as Mission Secretary. I guess that I have spent a lot of time Indoors but President Wright has arranged that my last three months will be spent out In an area where I can do basic missionary work again, I love office work when it is for the Church, but I still appreciate most the fundamental proselyting activities tracting, visiting investga-tor- s and holding cottage Summer There At the time of this writing, the un is shining brightly through the window and the glorious South African summer is all around me. The temperature hovers just under 100 degrees tin the sunt and all of us here In the office must work in our shirt sleeves. Our Christmas celebration will be in full swing just now and that too will he totally different fiom yuletide in Zion. I find It Impossible to that tlierp is no snow anywhere or that this is Christmas time. Speaking of summer sunshine, there rs one misconception that I want to dispel At home, when thinking or speaking of Hie continent of Afina, the teim Darkest Aftiea" is common. My veiv first view of Cape Town with its Table Mauntain rising niaieetic like a backdiop, impiexsed me that this is teally Sunny South he-lie- Aft ica. The South Afiu.ois have Christmas customs whnli to us seem most strange. They don't even have Sant Claus they all him But Father Christmas the same sweet spirit of love and devotion prevails here amid sun- shine and flow pis as vvhete the cedar logs are burning and the snow falling. It would not be difficult to mistake Christmas for the Fourth of Julv. Elders Convention wonderful man he was. He did not come of a long line of illustrious ancestors. They were honest, hardworking farmers. They were poor people. While Josephs father had a farm most of the time, it was necessary for Joseph to work as a hired hand for various other farmers. His schooling was very limited. His travel was limited to newly settled counties of western New York. It is doubtful if he ever saw a library or was ever acquainted with a well educated man until after he himself nad become famous. His Achievements Let us consider for a few minutes some of the things he did. When he was 14 years of age he was visited by the Father and the Son. both of whom appeared to him in person. This vision was of tremendous importance to the human race. At 18 years he was visited by the Angel Moroni, who told him of the Book of Mormon, and showed him the gold plates from which the book was to betranslaied. The angel told him his (Josephs) name should be had for good and evil in all nations or that it should be both good and evil spoken of among all people. At 22 years, he received the gold plates preparatory to translating the Book of Mormon from the inscriptions thereon. At 24 years, the Book of Mormon was printed and the Church was organized. At this time he was permitted to show the plates to the eleven witnesses. At 29 years, the Doctrine and Covenants was published. It contained the revelations that had been given up to that time. At 30 years, the Kirtland Temple was dedicated. At the time of its dedication some wonderful spiritual manifestations were witnessed and some very important revelations were given. At 33 the Saints were driven from Missouri. At 34, Nauvoo was settled. It soon became thi largest city in Illinois. At 38 jAars of age he was martyred, thus bringing to a close the most eventful life in American history. Untimely Death Just when most men are coming into the most useful part of their lives, this man's life is ended. Yet, where is there a man who did as much in ninety years as thi3 man did in 38 years? He established a new religion, not related to any cf the sects of his day. It was authorized by new revelations and new authority directly from Peter, James md John the ancient apostles. He announced a new philosophy of life. Why is man, from whence did he come, what is his destiny? The Mormon philosophy answers these questions all down through the ages. It was left for the boy philosopher to give the best answers. He published the Book of Mormon when he was 24 years old. For a hundred and twenty years, the enemies of the church have attempted to prove that the Book of Mormon is not true. The fact that, after all these years, they are still bringing out new explanations shows the weakness of their arguments. On the other hand, many, many thousands of intelligent, educated men and women testify that the book is what it claims to be, the word NOTE FROM MENDON MISSIONARY i Now he: I have so many distinct laces and colors been united into a single nation. And vet even today, there ate still two South Africans the dusty humaniiv. far as I know, English-speakin- and the Afrikaans. Cruel memories of the Boer War are still uppermost in the minds of many Afrikanets. SHirt. And Politic 22, Itah. Logan, hear-rendin- g Most South Africans think about just two things viz., their sport and their politics. They are much more proud of Bobbie Locke or Eric Sturges than they are of their General Smuts or Dr. Malan. If a South African can just beat a Yank in some sport, be it tennis, golf, baseball or whist, the country virtually declares a national holiday to celebrate. And they celebrate by playing the very latest Yankee Yankee their recordings on gramophones! African Today is a South holiday called Dingaans Day. It is not the result of any athletic victory. It all started back in February 1838. Piet Retief led a group of settlers into Natal, the home of the Zulu nation. After a series of events, permission was granted by the native chief. Dingaan, to settle there. The group of sixty Europeans were invited into Dingaan's Kraal for a celebration. While drinking Kaffir Beer, the natives danced for the. guests. Without warning the dancers turned and clubbed them. They were taken on top a nearby hill, as blood was not to desecrate the Kraal, and torture-ousl- y In murdered. reprisal, Andries Pretorius led the settlers on the Zulus December against 16th. Although Dingaan was not slain, over 3,000 of his fellow- tribesman were. The river be- came red with blood. This in- cident is known as the Blood River Masacree, The power of Zulus was broken and "Dingaan's Day" has become a annual celebration. Utah Mcndon, December The Herald Journal g Dear Friends: Eighteen months ago I embarked 'on the most wonderful experiences of niv entire life fulfilling a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. To carry the message of truth to the people indeed brings peace of mind. During that time I have been privileged to visit some of the most historic spots of The Church; Independence, Missouri; the Liberty Jaii, the monument to the three witnesses and David Whitmer's grave in Richmond, Missouri, and It was always a great source of comfort to me to receive the Herald Journal as it brought me closer to friends and relatives back home. Please accept my heartfelt thanks for sending it to me. You are doing a great service to the missionaries. I am very thankful that I was released in time to be home with my family for Christmas. Merry Merry Christmas and a and happy New prosperous Year. Sincerely yours. Dorothy Mae Wood. i f j J BY PKBSTON NlBUIt Question Ilf Box If you have question about genealogy, research of end them in.
