The Political Thought And Activity Of Heber J. Grant, Seventh President Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, Loman Franklin Aydelotte Jan 1965

The Political Thought And Activity Of Heber J. Grant, Seventh President Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, Loman Franklin Aydelotte

Theses and Dissertations

Heber J. Grant reflected, both consciously and unconsciously, a Mormon agrarian background and ideology. His moral fervor and idealism was in the tradition of his father, Jedediah Morgan Grant, the leading figure of the 1856 "Mormon Reformation." Grant's belief in self-sufficiency, thrift, solvency, and laissez faire government reflected the frontier environment and his business training; however, the dominant force of his life was the principles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, especially after he was appointed an Apostle and later President of that organization. His outstanding traits were his straight-forward outspokenness and his persistence which largely explain …

An Analysis Of The Accounts Relating Joseph Smith's Early Visions, Paul R. Cheesman Jan 1965

An Analysis Of The Accounts Relating Joseph Smith's Early Visions, Paul R. Cheesman

Theses and Dissertations

Joseph Smith, prophet and founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints stated that when he was fourteen years old he had received a visitation from two members of the Godhead: the Father and the Son. He was alone when he went into the woods to pray, and was therefore the only witness to the manifestation of these personages. He also declared that when he was seventeen years old he was visited by an angel named Moroni. Again he was without witnesses. For a first-hand account of these two experiences we must rely on a single source, Joseph …

A History Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints In Australia To 1900, John D. Hawkes Jan 1965

A History Of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints In Australia To 1900, John D. Hawkes

Theses and Dissertations

This work is a history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) in Australia to 1900. The first Latter-day Saint missionary to Australia was William Barret, a British convert who left directly from England and arrived at Adelaide, South Australia in 1840. In approximately 1841 Elder Andrew Anderson, also from England, arrived with his family at Sydney, New South Wales. These two Elders proselyted for the church, but the extent of their work is uncertain.

John Murdock and Charles Wandell were the first missionaries from Utah; they arrived at Sydney in October, 1851. The appointment of these …

Polygamy In Utah And Surrounding Area Since The Manifesto Of 1890, Jerold A. Hilton Jan 1965

Polygamy In Utah And Surrounding Area Since The Manifesto Of 1890, Jerold A. Hilton

Theses and Dissertations

I selected this topic in 1962 primarily from curiosity to discover the facts concerning present day polygamy in Utah, allegedly still abundant. Perhaps the motivation may be described as an amateur detective's zeal. Considerable material seemed to be available about polygamy in Utah before 1890, when the practice was mostly abandoned by the Mormon people, but, apparently, little has been written on this subject covering the period since that date. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to cover polygamy in Utah and close proximity from 1890 to the present (1965). Its scope includes: first, continued plural marriages for two …

The Other Presences In Irish Life And Literature, Douglas Hill Jan 1965

The Other Presences In Irish Life And Literature, Douglas Hill

BYU Studies

After returning from an extended stay in Ireland, the author recognizes the difficulty in describing and defining the life and literature of the Irish. The Irish literary Renaissance coincided with renewed patriotism and zeal for independence. Because of this reawakening, Ireland's history and mythology plays a major role in the contemporary collective unconscious of the Irish people, in stronger ways, perhaps, than in any other location among any other people.

Five null hypotheses were formulated hypothesizing no differences in concerns between juniors and seniors, male and female groups.
The student inventory was …

Desert Journey: A Religious Dance-Drama And An Evaluation Of Its Effect On A Selected Latter-Day Saint Audience, Frank W. Hatch Jan 1965

Desert Journey: A Religious Dance-Drama And An Evaluation Of Its Effect On A Selected Latter-Day Saint Audience, Frank W. Hatch

Theses and Dissertations

The Holy scriptures abound in references to the use of dance as a means of worship. It would seem that there is a need to understand how present day members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints feel in regard to the kind of dancing referred to in the Scriptures.

This study will be concerned with the production of "Desert Journey," a religious dance-drama depicting an episode from the Book of Mormon. A record of "Desert Journey" will be made with a movement notation system adapted from Motation, an architectual movement notation system developed by Laurence Halprin of …

A Course Of Study In Modern Scripture For The Lds Church Schools Of The Pacific, Phillip Duane Harris

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has always possessed a vigorous concept of the value of education for its youth. Programs of religious instruction have encouraged the young people to further their understanding of religious concepts. In July, 1953, all of the Church educational institutions, except those in the islands of the Pacific, were combined into one organization and named The Unified Church School System. As of January 1, 1965 the Pacific Board of Education, which directed the Church schools in the Pacific Islands, was also incorporated into the aforementioned mother unit.

The Influence Of The Southern Nevada And Southern Utah Folklore Upon The Writings Of Dr. Juanita Brooks And Dr. Leroy R. Hafen, Pansy L. Hardy Jan 1965

The Influence Of The Southern Nevada And Southern Utah Folklore Upon The Writings Of Dr. Juanita Brooks And Dr. Leroy R. Hafen, Pansy L. Hardy

Theses and Dissertations

Since no writing is entirely objective, it is the contention of this thesis that Dr. Juanita Brooks and Dr. LeRoy R. Hafen, the most authoritative writers of the Southern Nevada and Southern Utah region, were greatly influenced in their writings by the folklore of the region and of the people. The two aspects of folklore which are most prominent in their writings are, first, those which treat the supernatural aspect of divine intervention, and, second, those which surround the struggle for survival.

Folklore stories of divine intervention include the lore of divine aid given in time of great need, divine …

The Challenge And Responsibility Of The L.D.S. Teacher, Bruce B. Clark Jan 1965

The Challenge And Responsibility Of The L.D.S. Teacher, Bruce B. Clark

BYU Studies

This article, adapted from an address to graduates from Brigham Young University in English, details the challenges particular to teachers who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The author lists seven attitudes teachers should avoid and lists qualities teachers should strive to develop. These include teaching and caring about the individual, fostering in students an excitement for learning, and working hard. In addition to these qualities, Latter-day Saint teachers as well need to live with integrity and show, through their actions and examples, that religion is not diametrically opposed to philosophy, literature, and science.

A Study To Determine What Caused Students To Discontinue Attending The Burley Seminary Before Obtaining A Fourth-Year Certificate 1961-1965, Charles Durrell Salisbury Jan 1965

A Study To Determine What Caused Students To Discontinue Attending The Burley Seminary Before Obtaining A Fourth-Year Certificate 1961-1965, Charles Durrell Salisbury

Theses and Dissertations

It was the writer's purpose to determine the reason students discontinued seminary before obtaining a fourth-year certificate from the Burley L. D. S. Seminary between the years 1961-1965. In addition to this, means of helping to solve the problems of the students who discontinued seminary were sought. Questionnaires were sent to 92 students who had discontinued seminary; a questionnaire was also given to 61 students who were still in seminary. The results of these questionnaires were tabulated by the Brigham Young University Data Processing Service. Of the 92 students who discontinued seminary and received questionnaires, 66 (70 per cent) were …

Carlyle And Ruskin: An Influential Friendship, Charles H. Kegel Oct 1964

Carlyle And Ruskin: An Influential Friendship, Charles H. Kegel

BYU Studies

Although Thomas Carlyle and John Ruskin were very different from one another, the two men shared a long and influential relationship that greatly influenced the work of Ruskin. What began as a friendship eventually became one of a master and a disciple, even that of a father and a son. Ruskin himself admits the deep influence Carlyle had on his writing and thinking and even asserted that where his writing extended beyond Carlyle, he was merely acting as a disciple trying to make his master's teachings a practical reality. Without this relationship, it is likely that Ruskin would have been …

Mysteries Of The Kingdom: More Or Less, William L. Knecht Oct 1964

Mysteries Of The Kingdom: More Or Less, William L. Knecht

BYU Studies

Fawn M. Brodie, critic of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and of its founder Joseph Smith, has suggested that one of Mormonism's unique doctrines, baptism for the dead, originated not from divine revelation, but from the Dunkers, or Brethren, of Pennsylvania. A group led by Conrad Bessial known as the Ephrata Community broke off from the main body of the Brethren. This group's doctrines and practices differed from the main body of the Brethren, and for some years they practiced baptisms in behalf of their deceased loved ones. Knecht asserts that since the practice was limited and …

The Anti-Christian Background Of German Literary Naturalism, R. Max Rogers Oct 1964

The Anti-Christian Background Of German Literary Naturalism, R. Max Rogers

BYU Studies

German naturalism flourished in a time when Christianity as a whole was under attack. The philosophies of positivism and materialism, both of which challenged beliefs held by traditional Christianity, had a great impact on naturalist thinking. Charles Darwin's theories also extended beyond the discipline of natural sciences to reach the philosophical, religious, and literary realm. While some tried to reform the Christian church, others attempted to find a connection to God independent of organized religion. Others became indifferent while some became hostile toward Christianity. Each attitude found expression in German naturalism.

The Relationship Between Partonopeus De Blois And The Cupid And Psyche Tradition, Thomas H. Brown Oct 1964

The Relationship Between Partonopeus De Blois And The Cupid And Psyche Tradition, Thomas H. Brown

BYU Studies

The anonymous Old French poem Partonopeus de Blois borrows from many sources, but its links with the myth of Cupid and Psyche (as told by Apuleius in Metamorphoses or The Golden Ass) are at once obvious. With the exception of the role reversal of the sexes of the main characters, the stories appear almost identical. However, some scholars have asserted that Apuleius's work was unknown in France until after Partonopeus was composed and instead point to Celtic and Byzantine sources. The author discounts these theories and argues for a connection between Partonopeus and Apuleius's myth through the writings of Fulgentius …
