Many people have indicated that they would be willing to present the library with certain books they are interested in, if we will tell them the amount and where they can be obtained. This kindness will help all the families in our valley, and we greatly appreciate your efforts. If you have a book or a dollar jmu are not using, let's make them available for genealogical research.

It is so timely and important, that it is copied for the benefit of those who missed it.) During recent months the Latter-day Saints have permitted other activities to seriously Interfere with the salvation of their dead. This has been felt in both temple ordinance work as well as in the research phase of this activity. There are various reasons for this condition. Among them are: 1. Many have felt that the war cut off all research possibilities, and so they have made no further efforts in this line. 2. Failure of research has reduced the number of names made available in the temples for vicarious work. 3. Many have undertaken other things which so occupy their time that they no longer feel they can go to the temples. It is always necessary for us to keep our major responsibilities before us, and so plan our affairs that we will set apart sufficient time to adequately cere for them. Anyone who understands the gbspel knows , that salvation of the dead is one of the most fundamental things in our religion. Yet we sometimes do little about it. The war baa not stopped research. Seldom has there been a time when there was greater opportunity for this type of work. Vast new fields have been opened recently to the earnest researcher. More records are now on file at the Genealogical library in Salt Lake City thas at any previous time. The church recently acquired of Boyd's Marriage Index, for instance, containing six million names for 15 important countries in England. They were brought to this country in spite of war conditions in the Atlantic. There are also on file at that library, two million pages of vital records recently obtained from New York, Tennessee and North Carolina. The marriage records of other states are being copied by photography and made a part of our research . library. Cemetery records in bound volumes have been obtained from many of the eastern states, and now form a part of our collection. More than a thousand volumes of county and state records representing nearly every state in the union have recently been obtained. The church now has five full time archivists performing research work in Sweden and the British Isles, as well as continuous contact with parish ministers and clerks in those areas, all sending material in response to Latter-da- y Saint queries. One of the most unusual factors In this whole picture is the change of attitude in foreign countries with respect to vital records which until now have seldom been copies SATURDAY, JUNE Cerebral's Girl 19.

Now there is a desire In those countries to have these records photographed and sent elsewhere to keep them safe from destruction. Shortly after one British library had thus copied and distributed its records, the library was demolished by bombs, but the photograph copies were secure. Our library has many of them. Latter-da- y Saints must reaiize that they can now carry on a successful research, and they should immediately take advantage of this opportunity. And having prepared their records they must take them to the temples for ordinance work. We have been told that none are exempt from thia great responsibility. It Is vital to our religion. We must allow nothing to interfere with it. Every member of the church should plan now to renew his activity in this regard, and with earnestness fully discharge his duty to his dead kindred. - The Week .
