Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 89: December 8, 1927
Opportunities with the same fulness do not come to them. If they die without that opportunity in this life, it will reach them in. The world of spirits and there be declared to them, and if they are willing to accept, it is counted unto them just the same as if they had embraced the Gospel in mortality. In this way justice is meted out to every man, and all are placed 011 an equality before the bar of God.
The modern world knew nothing of this doctrine until the Lord made it known to Joseph Smith, and yet it is taught in the Bible in a manner that proves that it was well understood in ancient times. There are passages in the Old Testament that touch 011 this doctrine, but these passages speak of the practice of the doctrine as being in the future, or after the coming of Christ. In fact, there was no work done for the dead until after Christ was crucified and went to the spirit-world and there prepared the way by declaring good tidings to the spirits in prison. After His resurrection He introduced the vicarious work for the dead, and it was practised in the Primitive Christian Church.
