History Of The Danish Mission Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, 1850-1964, Marius Aldrid Christensen

Theses and Dissertations

The "History of the Danish Mission, 1850-1964," gives a detailed account of the Mormon "beginnings" in Denmark and attempts to trace the development of a system of proselyting and its effect upon the lives of both missionaries and converts of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. No attempt has been made in this study to record chronological detail to any extensive degree. Rather, emphasis has been placed on "beginnings" and major historical developments.

This study includes an examination of the Scandinavian and Danish Mission records, several missionary journals and all known printed material related to the Mormon Church …

Estaunie's Naturalistic Period And Spiritual Period, Bertrand Logan Ball Jr. Jan 1966

Estaunie's Naturalistic Period And Spiritual Period, Bertrand Logan Ball Jr.

BYU Studies

French novelist Edouard Estaunie, popular in his country in the 1920s, is still of interest today. His career began with highly naturalistic novels, but by the end of his life, he was writing spiritual or metaphysical works. The author shows examples of these themes in Estaunie's writings, demonstrating that Estaunie's writings do showcase a change from emphasizing determinism to individual agency.

The Expanding Gospel, Hugh W. Nibley Jan 1966

The Expanding Gospel, Hugh W. Nibley

BYU Studies

When dealing with apocryphal texts, scholars can discount doctrines and themes that appear once or twice. However, themes that run consistently through many or most of the texts should be seriously considered. One such theme is that of a council in heaven in which a plan was presented and the opposition toward that plan. This article details the presence of these themes in ancient texts among various cultures.

The Trial Of Captain Henry Wirz, 1865: An Attempt Of Rehabilitation, Heinz K. Meier, Lukas F. Burchardt Jan 1966

The Trial Of Captain Henry Wirz, 1865: An Attempt Of Rehabilitation, Heinz K. Meier, Lukas F. Burchardt

Swiss American Historical Society Newsletter

The paper read by Dr. A. Maissen at the New York meeting of the SAHS dealt with the interesting subject of Captain Henry Wirz . Although one of the best known Swiss participating in the Civil War, he is not listed among the subjects of the book Prominent Americans of Swiss Origin. This probably was no oversight, for he was and is a controversial figure.

Three Aspects Of Postdivorce Social Adjustment In Mormon Utah And Protestant Nevada, Sonia Lillard Richardson Jan 1966

Three Aspects Of Postdivorce Social Adjustment In Mormon Utah And Protestant Nevada, Sonia Lillard Richardson

Theses and Dissertations

Since this writer has been confused by what seems to her to be radically different attitudes toward marriage and divorce in her own home town (Las Vegas, Nevada) and in Utah communities where she has been residing for the past five years, the social adjustment of female divorcees in these two locations was studied. The purpose was to begin to build knowledge about postdivorce adjustment, and it is hoped that future students of the family will be inspired to further investigate postdivorce problems.

A Collection And Analysis Of Folk Songs From Wales, Sanpete County, Utah, Leslie E. Rees Jan 1966

A Collection And Analysis Of Folk Songs From Wales, Sanpete County, Utah, Leslie E. Rees

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to collect and record folk songs known to some of the older inhabitants of Wales, Utah. An analysis was made of thirty of the forty-six songs for the purpose of attaining a knowledge of their characteristics such as form, rhythm, melody, tempo, tonality, melodic interval range, phrase and period length, theme repetition, texture, and ornamentation. Observations were also made with reference to the textual influence on the overall musical effect.

Politics And Religion On China's Mongolian Frontier, Paul V. Hyer Oct 1965

Politics And Religion On China's Mongolian Frontier, Paul V. Hyer

BYU Studies

Japanese imperialists believed that religion was an effective way to control and influence the peoples they conquered. This article traces one example: the Japanese attempt to re-establish a Mongolian Jebtsundamba Khutukhtu, a religious and temporal sovereign who would appear in subsequent incarnations. After the Soviets forbid a search for a new Jebtsundamba in 1824, the Japanese suggested the search be renewed as they moved to take control of Mongolia. This move was ultimately unsuccessful but serves as a classic example of the role of religion in the struggle for power.

Revision Of Gilia (Polemoniaceae) Section Gilmania, M. Eileen Matthews

Entropy Titration : A Calorimetric Method For Equilibrium Constant Determinations ; Iii. H And S Values For Carboxylic Acid Proton Ionization At 25c ; Iv. Site Of Proton Ionization From Adenosine, Lee D. Hansen

Theses and Dissertations

The design, construction, and calibration of a precision thermometric titration calorimeter is described. This calorimeter was tested by determining the enthalpy change for ionization of water. The result, 13.34 ±0.03 kcal/mole (standard deviation), is in exact agreement with the best literature values. This standard deviation indicates that, using this calorimeter, ΔH values can be determined with an accuracy of ±0.0.5 kcal/mole. A calorimetric procedure has been developed for the, simultaneous determination of the equilibrium constant, the enthalpy change, and the entropy change for a chemical reaction from a single titration (Entropy Titration). This procedure has been tested by determining pK, …
