The contents are a classified arrangement of the doctrinal sermons and writings of the great latter-day prophet, Joseph Smith. These are carefully arranged in alphabetical order, being selected, compiled and classified by Edwin F. Parry from the authorized History of the Church, and are a very valuable collection of sentiments from the religious and doctrinal sermons and writings of the prophet. One hundred and sixty subjects are indexed, touching many of the doctrines and beliefs of the Latter-day Saints. These selections are in a large measure devoted to amplifying and expounding the Holy Scriptures, thus being largely supplementary to the contents of the standard works of the Church. The book will prove to be of great service and very handy not only to the general reader but to every student of Church history and gospel doctrine.
