The Mormon Gold-Mining Mission Of 1849, Eugene E. Campbell Apr 1959

The Mormon Gold-Mining Mission Of 1849, Eugene E. Campbell

BYU Studies

Although Latter-day Saints were instrumental in discovering the California gold that led to the 1849 gold rush, as a people they remained in the Great Basin due to counsel from Brigham Young, who felt raising crops would ultimately bring more wealth than searching for gold. However, Young allowed several young men to be called on gold mining missions for the Church. Their journal entries describe their challenges and their success and their eventual founding of the Hawaiian Mission.

John Tullidge: Utah's First Music Critic, William Wilkes Jan 1959

John Tullidge: Utah's First Music Critic, William Wilkes

BYU Studies

John Tullidge's pedantic and sometimes scathing musical criticisms may seem out of place in pioneer Utah. Although music had played a role in the early Latter-day Saint community, its purpose was mainly for enjoyment. Tullidge, on the other hand, called for excellence in both selection and performance. His first review, written only days after he had crossed the plains with the pioneers, was met with varying response from the public. Tullidge's critiques, however, were unique, and he was a singular character in the history of music criticism in early pioneer Utah.

The Wages Of Sin In Hawthorne, Marden J. Clark Jan 1959

The Wages Of Sin In Hawthorne, Marden J. Clark

BYU Studies

The loss of innocence as the result of sin is a theme running throughout many of Nathaniel Hawthorne's works. Many of his works look at the consequences of sin in individuals' lives. The most common sins Hawthorne wrote into his stories are intellectual pride and the violation of another's individuality. The author follows these themes through Hawthorne's works showing that the results of sin are suffering, death, further sin, and, occasionally, a partial redemption. As Hawthorne continued to explore these themes in his works, they become increasingly more complex. Hawthorne never conclusively answers his own questions about the wages of …

What Is Humanistic About Modern Art?, Conan Mathews

The Contribution Of Existentialism, Truman G. Madsen Jan 1959

The Contribution Of Existentialism, Truman G. Madsen

BYU Studies

Although a wide gap exists between existential thought and logical empiricism, the influence of existentialism is growing. The author compares these two schools of thought by looking at their methods and language, their search for ultimate principles of being and knowing, the implications of their findings for man, and their relation to the principle of choice. These philosophies are then applied to a question of the freedom of man, and the possible contributions of existentialism to analytic thought are explored.

An Economic Interpretation Of “The Word Of Wisdom”, Leonard J. Arrington Jan 1959

An Economic Interpretation Of “The Word Of Wisdom”, Leonard J. Arrington

BYU Studies

Examining the economic impetus behind the adoption of the Word of Wisdom may give us insights into how the Latter-day Saints became known as a people who abstain from alcohol, tobacco, tea, coffee, and drugs. From the time it was revealed, the Word of Wisdom was considered by many to be good advice and not a requirement for fellowship in the Church. The author explores the economic issues that contributed to making the Word of Wisdom official church policy.

An Analysis Of The Development And Use Of Objectives For The Seminary Teachers In The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, John Paul Fugal Jan 1959

An Analysis Of The Development And Use Of Objectives For The Seminary Teachers In The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, John Paul Fugal

Theses and Dissertations

The literature on educational problems and procedures gives considerable emphasis to objectives. Sometimes called aims, goals, or values, the objectives have been variously formulated according to the philosophy and environment of their authors. Great variation is found in the many codes of objectives which have existed and which now are used in education.

In examining the code of general objectives which has been published and circulated throughout the Latter-day Saint Seminary System since 1943, the writer was of the opinion that these objectives were not fully used by the seminary teachers and that they may not be those really desired …

Factors Associated With Attendance At Church Related Activities Of Lds Male Household Heads In Selected Utah Rural Areas, C. Leroy Anderson Jan 1959

Factors Associated With Attendance At Church Related Activities Of Lds Male Household Heads In Selected Utah Rural Areas, C. Leroy Anderson

Theses and Dissertations

This study has two main purposes. First, to develop from theory hypotheses concerning the association between attendance of L.D.S., male household heads at church related activities and certain specific variables; and to test these hypotheses. The second purpose was to test certain other variables, (not related to theory) for association with church attendance of L.D.S., male household heads.

The chi-square test was used to determine whether or not the variables were significantly associated and the coefficient of contingency test to determine to what extent they were related. The .05 level of probability was chosen as the criterion for significance.

The representative examples were analyzed for their stylistic qualities to …

A Study Of Early Utah-Montana Trade, Transportation, And Communication, 1847-1881, L. Kay Edrington Jan 1959

A Study Of Early Utah-Montana Trade, Transportation, And Communication, 1847-1881, L. Kay Edrington

Theses and Dissertations

Only a few hardy men had ventured into America's intermountain west prior to the year 1847. Arriving in this year, the Mormons, under Brigham Young, slowly conquered parts of the Great Basin and within a few years had produced a self-sustaining agricultural economy. production of a surplus in farm products awaited only the emergence of a "foreign" market. This market was soon forthcoming.

The developing process of Utah-Montana relations from 1847 through 1881 was a natural occurance. From the very first, men from Utah traveled northward. The Mormon experiment at Ft. Lemhi during the late 1850's was a prime example …

A History Of Iosepa, The Utah Polynesian Colony, Dennis H. Atkin

Theses and Dissertations

The first missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints went to Hawaii in 1850. As native converts joined the Church, many desired to gather in Utah with converts from other parts of the world, in order to perform Church ordinances in the temples located there. Until about 1870, Hawaiians were prohibited by their government from leaving the Islands permanently. As the laws were relaxed they came to Utah a few at a time with returning missionaries until by 1889 about seventy-five were living in Salt Lake City.

Cultural and social problems arose causing the Church officials to …

Brigham Young's Philosophy Of History, H. Carleton Marlow Jan 1959

Brigham Young's Philosophy Of History, H. Carleton Marlow

Theses and Dissertations

"Brigham Young's Philosophy of History" attempts to describe how Brigham Young gave order and unity to the hubbub and confusion in which man lived. The laws which gave form and pattern to the baffling, diverse phenomena of and around man receive major attention. This thesis is an expository type of writing rather than an evaluation of Brigham Young's ideas and principles or laws in reference to other philosophies of history, Latter-day Saint theology, the modern natural exact sciences, or in reference to the current views of his times. This thesis is limited to a digestion of Brigham Young's works in …
