Establishing The Church Simply, John P. Livingstone
Establishing The Church Simply, John P. Livingstone
BYU Studies Quarterly
The Church's concern for Native Americans led to the development of guidelines for simplifying curriculum and organization, thereby allowing indigenous priesthood leaders to move the Church forward more quickly and effectively where there are special language or cultural needs. The author, a former district and mission president, explores that development and shares his personal experience with the Church's simplified program.

New Photograph Of The Granite Shaft For The Brigham Young Monument, Richard Neitzel Holzapfel, J. Michael Hunter
New Photograph Of The Granite Shaft For The Brigham Young Monument, Richard Neitzel Holzapfel, J. Michael Hunter
BYU Studies Quarterly
In July 1987, Latter-day Saints from throughout the Intermountain West gathered for a five-day celebration honoring the fiftieth anniversary of the arrival of Brigham Young to the Great Basin. On the first day of the celebration, a large crowd gathered at the intersection of Main and South Temple to dedicate an unfinished monument (fig. 1). A lone statue of Brigham Young stood upon a tall granite shaft taken from Little Cottonwood Canyon in June 1897, just weeks before. A rare photograph recorded the scene after the shaft was loaded onto a wagon for the first leg of it journey to …

Newel And Lydia Bailey Knight's Kirtland Love Story And Historic Wedding, William G. Hartley
Newel And Lydia Bailey Knight's Kirtland Love Story And Historic Wedding, William G. Hartley
BYU Studies Quarterly
In October 1835, Newel Knight and Lydia Bailey, two spouseless adults still in the prime of life, found themselves living in the same boardinghouse and eating at the same dining table. As lodgers with Hyrum and Jerusha Smith in Kirtland, Ohio, they had good reason to notice each other. Lydia's husband had deserted her more than three years earlier, and Newel's wife had died, a year before. Romance developed quickly, and in a couple of months, Lydia accepted Newel's marriage proposal. Their pending wedding led Joseph Smith, who had personally converted both Lydia and newel, to declare his right to …
Joseph Smith's Performance Of Marriages In Ohio, M. Scott Bradshaw
Joseph Smith's Performance Of Marriages In Ohio, M. Scott Bradshaw
BYU Studies Quarterly
During the 1830s, ministers from a wide range of Christian denominations performed marriages in Ohio. Attempting to compile a comprehensive list of such churches would be a mammoth task, but a sampling of the court records from several Ohio counties shows that representatives from at least a dozen religious denominations were actively solemnizing marriages. These denominations included Anabaptists, Baptists, Congregationalists, Disciples of Christ, Episcopalians, Evangelicals, German Reformed, Mennonites, Methodists, Presbyterians, Unitarians, Universalists, and, of particular interest to readers here, Latter-day Saints.
A Jewel In The Gardens Of Paradise: The Art And Architecture Of The Hawai'i Temple, Paul L. Anderson
A Jewel In The Gardens Of Paradise: The Art And Architecture Of The Hawai'i Temple, Paul L. Anderson
BYU Studies Quarterly
For seventy years, the Hawai'i Temple (now called the La'ie Hawai'i Temple) has stood like a timeless vision of paradise, white and gleaming between emerald mountains and a sapphire sea. Some visitors have seen in its noble form and lush gardens a resemblance to the Taj Mahal or some wonder of the ancient world. However, my own reaction upon approaching the temple for the first time was surprise. My lifelong familiarity with the building had come from handsome and exotic color photographs in Church magazines, and I was amazed to discover how much smaller the temple is than I had …
Josiah Quincy's 1844 Visit With Joseph Smith, Jed L. Woodworth
Josiah Quincy's 1844 Visit With Joseph Smith, Jed L. Woodworth
BYU Studies Quarterly
A prophet's claims have always invited attention. The Prophet Joseph Smith took calls from an array of personalities who would not be satisfied without seeing this curiosity in the flesh. The visitors came from near and far and from every walk and station of life: politicians and priests, paupers and pundits, charlatans and seekers, and almost everything in between. Arriving first in a trickle and then in a stream, they found the Prophet wherever he had gathered the Saints. Some of the travelers left accounts of their visits, and from these sketches later generations came to know Joseph, too.

New Photographs Of Joseph F. Smith's Centennial Memorial Trip To Vermont, 1905, Richard Neitzel Holzapfel, Paul H. Peterson
BYU Studies Quarterly
President Joseph F. Smith and a group of other Latter-day Saint Church leaders, accompanied by family and friends, left Salt Lake City on December 15, 1905, for Vermont to dedicate a memorial honoring the Prophet Joseph Smith, on the hundredth anniversary of his birth. During their trip, they visited Church historical sites in Ohio, New York, and Vermont and Smith family sites in Massachusetts, Vermont, and New York. Photographs were taken during most of the trip, preserving a view of the places considered sacred to the ever growing number of members of the Church.

Recent Notes About Olives In Antiquity, Wilford M. Hess
Recent Notes About Olives In Antiquity, Wilford M. Hess
BYU Studies Quarterly
When a group of LDS scholars collaborated in 1994 under the auspices of the Foundation for Ancient Research and Mormon Studies to publish a book on the allegory of the olive tree in Jacob 5, few substantial works on olive production in the ancient world existed. Now, two new archaeological books add a wealth of information to our understanding of the importance of the olive in ancient life. Although expensive and technical, these new volumes offer further insights for anyone interested in olive culture as reflected in the scriptures, especially in the Book of Mormon.
The Campaign And The Kingdom: The Activities Of The Electioneers In Joseph Smith's Presidential Campaign, Margaret C. Robertson
The Campaign And The Kingdom: The Activities Of The Electioneers In Joseph Smith's Presidential Campaign, Margaret C. Robertson
BYU Studies Quarterly
In 1844, Joseph Smith, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, ran for president of the United States. At the April 1844 LDS general conference, a call was made for volunteers to "electioneer for Joseph to be the next President," as Heber C. Kimball put it. Immediately, 244 elders volunteered. By the time the list of names was recorded in the records of the Church a week later, the number approached 340. Even more elders eventually volunteered or were called to take up the cause. As part of the campaign, the Quorum of the Twelve scheduled public …

Revelations In Context: Joseph Smith's Letter From Liberty Jail, March 20, 1839, Dean C. Jessee, John W. Welch
Revelations In Context: Joseph Smith's Letter From Liberty Jail, March 20, 1839, Dean C. Jessee, John W. Welch
BYU Studies Quarterly
While Joseph Smith was incarcerated in Liberty Jail from December 1, 1838, to April 6, 1839, he wrote or dictated eight surviving letters. Four were addressed to Emma, his wife, and all of them display the sterling character of the Prophet Joseph under trials of the most extreme conditions imaginable. His letter of March 20, 1839, directed to "the church of Latter-day saints at Quincy Illinois and scattered abroad and to Bishop Partridge in particular," is one of the most revealing and most significant letters ever written by a prophet of God in the dispensation of the fullness of times. …
