From the Preface: Virtually a century has passed since Joseph Smith was favored with a heavenly vision. In that time wonderful things have been done in the name of Mormonism. Since the Lord made Himself known to the Boy Prophet, a church has been established and has grown until it now has a membership approximating one-half million; the Holy Priesthood has been restored which entitles us to God's choicest blessings; a march across a continent-such a march as has but few parallels in all history-has been achieved; a desert has been reclaimed; and a religious organization has been perfected which is the wonder of the world. God's spirit of inspiration has made these things possible. Mormonism is His Church of these latter days. To promote faith in Him as our Father, and to call attention to the truths of Mormonism in such a way as to inspire boys and girls to live better, cleaner, and nobler lives, has been the aim of the author of these chapters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
