An Examination Of The Junior Church And Corporate Worship As Methods Of Training Children To Worship, Allen C. Odell

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Today a great deal of discussion is going on among church leaders as to the value of graded worship as a means of training children to worship. This discussion is not new for as earl y as 1872, the question of graded literature came up. At the turn of the century the public school system began t o place great er emphasis on grading and educational psychology.

The departmental Sunday School divided the …

An Analysis Of The Physical Education Programs Of The 165 California Secondary Schools, Collie Jean Kidwell

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The Role And Function Of The Seventies In Lds Church History, James N. Baumgarten

Theses and Dissertations

Joseph Smith organized a group called Seventies in the Mormon Church early in 1835. They are one of three primary groups in the Higher or Melchizedek Priesthood. They were said to be Elders with a special calling to preach the Gospel among the nations of the earth. Their calling was said to be apostolic because they were to assist the Twelve Apostles in preaching the Gospel and administering Church affairs under their direction. They were a general Church Quorum, and not considered a part of stake organization.

The Seventies were established in their calling as missionaries in the time of …

History Of The Southern States Mission, 1831-1861, Lamar C. Berrett

Theses and Dissertations

The "History of the Southern States Mission, 1831-1861," traces the development of a system of proselyting in the southeastern United States, and its effect on the lives of both missionaries and converts who embraced the principles of the restored gospel taught by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

This study includes an examination of twenty-eight personal missionary journals, and consequently gives a valid picture of Latter-day Saint objectives and the sacrifices necessary to achieve them. Their objectives were to carry the message to the world and build up the Kingdom of God.

To reach their goal, the Mormons …

The Richmond Transit Strike Of 1903, Thomas Jefferson Headlee Jr.

Master's Theses

A general history of the American Labor movement introduces the reader to the mainstream of trade unionism in the United States. It is the purpose of this paper however, to record the events of only one of the less important incidents in the twentieth century. That this experiment of labor in Richmond, Virginia in the year 1903 should have failed, does not detract from its value to the historian, for the study of even an unsuccessful strike may add to our knowledge of the various unions and anti-unionism. In addition, it certainly behooves us, as Richmond's, to learn something further …

A Study Of The Trinity In The Cappadocian Fathers, George W. Buck

Graduate Thesis Collection

The object in writing this thesis has been to pursue the theological development of the doctrine of the trinity in the Church of the early centuries through the writings of the Church fathers. It is a continuation of a former study, A New Testament Study of Trinity, a thesis submitted for the Bachelor of Divinity degree, which was received in July, 1952. This entire study has been an attempt to soak the self in the patristic writings and to arrive at a first-hand conception of the classical doctrine of the trinity, which we believe, is a creation of the fourth …

Pride And Penalty In Hawthorne's Tales, Violet Enid Behler

Graduate Thesis Collection

For Hawthorne pride is the root evil, for it is a voluntary separation by which man sets himself aloof from conmunication with himself, his fellow men, and God. Pride is an attitude which takes possession of him first as he allows himself to become blinded to his own faults and inadequacies, next as he ignores the virtues and claims of his fellow men, and eventually as he develops the bigoted idea that since he is superior to the rest of tho human race, he must make himself a place on the Godly level. He is now completely isolated from humanity …

A Comparative Study Of Mormon And Disciple Histories, Leslie H. Payne

Graduate Thesis Collection

The subject of this study has been chosen because of the interesting histories and doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Disciples of Christ. Interest in this subject was aroused, not only by the interesting material, but also due to the fact that they both came out of the same historical period and that there were some Disciple leaders that joined the Latter-day Saints.

These facts could be coincidence or they could have a definite reason behind them. This is the study of this paper: to discover, through comparison, the similarities and the parallels of …

A Study Of The Doctrinal Significance Of Certain Textual Changes Made By The Prophet Joseph Smith In The Four Gospels Of The Inspired Version Of The New Testament, Robert J. Matthews

Theses and Dissertations

The several versions and revisions of the Bible in existence precipitate questions concerning the reliability of many Biblical texts. Each of these versions has an amount of variation from the others, yet all were done my men of accepted scholarship.
Joseph Smith also made a Bible revision, or as he termed it, a "translation," using a King James Version printed in 1828 as the basis. This amended King James Version, although not fully completed, has been published under the title of the Inspired Version of the Holy Scriptures, by the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The Differential Effects Of Bases For Moral Behavior And Major Field Of Study Upon Moral Judgment, Ray Edgar Paskett

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the individual's bases for moral behavior and his major field of study are related to his moral judgement. Previous studies have indicated that the effect of certain moral education programs was either negligible or detrimental to the accomplishment of their objectives. Because of the emphasis by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints upon fundamental principles as determinants of moral behavior, it seems appropriate to examine the effects of these concepts upon the individual.

A Study Of Selected Factors Which Influence Latter-Day Saint And Non-Latter-Day Saint Students To Attend The Church College Of Hawaii, Daniel G. Witt

Theses and Dissertations

The object of this study is to examine some of the influences associated with the decisions of Latter-day Saint and non-Latter-day Saint students to attend The Church College of Hawaii. Social scientists have found that an important aspect of any decision situation is a person's orientation to that situation. Such orientations may often have their basis in the child's early relationships with his parents.
