The papers consist of records of the LDS Church and community, mostly from the Nauvoo era from 1839 to 1846 although the Ohio and Missouri periods are also represented. Included in the collection are about 20 manuscripts of revelations found in the Doctrine and Covenants and important family documents, such as a blessing given to Whitney by Joseph Smith, Jr., in 1835 through the Urim and Thumin. 1 n 9 n history topics, presented by recognized scholars," he added.

Kimball, world leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

His classes have been well received at Provo Community School and Stevens Henager College.

Whitney obtained some of the papers in the collection when Brigham Young sent him back to Nauvoo in 1846 in search of historical documents. After the death of Newell Whitney, who was the second bishop in the Church, the papers came into the possession of his daughter, Mary Jane, who married Isaac Groo. Thereafter, the materials were preserved by the Groo family until 1974, when Barbara Groo Hansen donated the collection to the Special Collections Library at BYU.

CRAMPS IN THE NIGHT Some people get leg cramps at night, but happily there are ways to deal with the problem. Massaging the legs after exercise helps some people, as does sleeping with the legs elevated by a small pillow, or wrapping them in warm towels for a while. If cramps occur anyway, massaging, stretching or walking may help, or applying warm towels, or putting the feet in warm water. Frequent night cramps are a signal to visit the doctor.

"It's so easy to become complacent and forget about the impact the "Mormon Story" had on the settlement of America," she said in a recent interview, as she recalled that "the story of the establishment of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with their constant movement westward, until they finally settled in what is now Utah, and completely changed the face of America. They launched a thousand ships of immigration, im-migration, flooding the New World with divergent cultures, bringing skills, trades and arts with them to meld a unique commonwealth com-monwealth as they worked together to make the barren desert blossom." tour had reached church headquarters in Salt Lake City before 1947, and Miss Johnson was requested to present her "Mormon Miracle" as part of the June Conference of the LDS Church that year, commemorating the Centennial of the arrival of the first Mormon Pioneers in Utah. From there, "The Mormon Miracle" was published by Deseret Book Company and was subsequently sponsored for a tour of LDS stakes in Idaho, Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada and Utah, concluding con-cluding with a presentation presen-tation at the Assembly Hall in Salt Lake City. Miss Johnson said she thought that would be the end of it, but Brigham Young University presented it in 1964, with a cast of narrators, and with music provided by a 75-voice choir. It was also presented as a bac-calauereateservice bac-calauereateservice in the LDS Church College of Hawaii. The Mormon Miracle Pageant was performed at the Sanpete County Fairgrounds in Manti, on July 23, 1967, before a crowd of about 2,000; it was moved the next year to its present site on the Manti Temple Hill. Attendance At-tendance at the Pageant has increased each year since the beginning. Even with inflated gasoline prices in 1979, crowds were estimated between 8,000 and 10,000 for the smallest nights and between twenty-five and thirty-thousand on the weekends. Listed by the Institute of Outdoor Drama as the outdoor production with the largest average attendance at-tendance per night in America, The Mormon ! X ml Miracle Pageant is a religious drama. The story of the Mormon people, since the beginning in New York State in 1820 and following their western migration through Ohio, Missouri, Illinois and across the great plains of America is portrayed in vivid sequence. Flashbacks of scenes from the Book of Mormon, dramatized in colorful imagery, tell some of the history of a people who lived on the American Continent many hundreds of years ago, and left their ruins for us to wonder about. The settlement of the Mormon Pioneers in what is now Utah and surrounding states in the Mountain West, is poignantly recalled. Perhaps it is the simplicity sim-plicity of the story of the young couple, Robert and Mary Henshaw, who Two attend Pathfinders camporee Local Seventh-day Adventist Pathfinders, a co-educational group similar to the Boy and Girl Scouts, sent youth representatives to a camporee held in Soquel, California at the Pacific Union Conference campground recently. Those attending from Springville were Debbie Wilson and Jimmy Smith. Leader for the group is Elder Vern Pritchard, who also accompanied the youth. Over 4,000 young people attended the gathering that serves as a youth congress and camporee for those living in Utah, Nevada and California. The local Pathfinder group learns outdoor camping skills, crafts, community-aid skills and spiritual lessons. Young people attending the camporee must earn funds necessary to make the trip. The local Pathfinders Path-finders earned over $400 in order to meet their expenses. COMMMUTERIZE TO EXERCISE - The average American spends about 20 minutes driving and averages 6.9 miles to work. It takes only 15 more minutes to travel a similar distance by bicycle, or 40 more minutes to walk. The trip by bike or foot would burn a lot more calories than driving.

Or, perhaps it is the inherent need for all of us to believe and know that beyond all of the hardship, privation, turmoil, sacrifice and frustrations of this life, and even when death comes, that there is a source of strength where we can turn for help to carry our burden. It may be that it is in the promise of life eternally, where people can live together as families forever and that in this troubled world, the Lord has not forgotten his people, and still speaks to us today through his prophets. It's all part of the continuing miracle, according to Miss Johnson. "With one miracle following behind another, pushing one out as another comes in." Her admonition has always been, "When the Lord gives you an idea, it is your responsiblity to do something with it." She believes much of the material included in the Pageant is a gift from the Lord, including the title. She added her gratitude to the "Master of Ocean and Earth and Skies," as she affirmed, "He's taken care of me."
