Show Statements of Chuich Leadeis Compiled In New I. D. S, Book A "new" book that took 118 years to produce and over 18 months to compile was released by Bookcraft Company of Salt Lake City on September 15, 1948. LATTER-DAY PROPHETS SPEAK, as the book Is entitled, contains i statements on L D S Church doctrine doc-trine from all of the eight Presidents Presi-dents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who have served in this dispensation. Compiled by Daniel H. Ludlow, a member of the faculty of the Utah State Agricultural college and of the Mt Logan Stake High Council, the book promises to be one of the most significant L D S Church books ever released. By use of direct quotations, the compiler has enabled the Prophets Proph-ets of God to explain the doctrines doc-trines of the Gospel in their own words. The eternal plan of progression, pro-gression, from the pre-existent state to the final destiny of man, is told In the first of the book's five main divisions. The second and third divisions are concerned concern-ed with the story of the Gospel plan of Jesus Christ and the lm-portance lm-portance of the Priesthood of God in the Church. The fourth division, divis-ion, which promises to be perhaps per-haps the most interesting of the entire book, tells of the conditions condi-tions of the last days and the great events which are to precede the second coming of Christ. The story of the dispersion and the return of the lost tribes of Israel, as well as the events which will take place during the millenlum are also covered in this section. The last main division of the book is composed of 10 chapters of various Church doctrines and practices, such as: "Temple Marriage", Mar-riage", "Prophecy and Revelation", Revela-tion", "Tithing and the United Order", "Missionary Work", and others. |
