Priesthood Quorum Classes, 1919

The Committee on Courses of Study for the Priesthood, No. 20 Bishhop's Building, Salt Lake City, Utah, sent out the following instructions to bishops throughout the Church, relating to the study for the priesthood quorums for the year 1919: For the Melchizedek Priesthood: Selections from the doctrinal writings and sayings of President Joseph F. Smith. This book will not be ready for some months, and it is suggested that the quorums go on and complete the present course until the new one is ready; the past few months, on account of health conditions, having prevented the quorums from meeting. A guide for this new text book, which will occupy two years, will be provided. Both the text book and the guide are in process of preparation and due notice will be given of their publication. In the meantime, classes are asked to continue their study of "Problems of the Age," printed in the Era, 1918, and also on sale, 15 cents each. For the Priests: ..The Ancient Apostles, by Elder David O. McKay. This book is already in print and can be obtained upon order from the Era office, the price being $1.25 and the book will not be sent out without order. All charge orders must be signed by the bishops. For the Teacher s' Quorums: the text will be The Ancient Apostles, by Elder David O. McKay, the same as for the priests, both in text, price and condition. All charge orders must be signed by the bishops. For the Deacons: Gospel Teachings, Illustrated by Biographical Incidents, a book of ninety-six pages, price 15c. This book will be mailed to the bishops of the wards under direction of the Priesthood Committee, based on 20 percent of ihe Deacons in each ward. This is done for convenience, and not with a view to push the book upon the bishops without order. If any bishop does not desire the books, let them be returned, but we trust that every effort will be made to place it in the hands of the members of the Deacons quorums so that when health conditions will permit, the work will go on immediately. Invoices for this book will be sent to the bishops direct. As soon as text books for the Melchizedek Priesthood are completed, due notice will be given by circular and through the Improvement Era. Sincerely your brother, Rudger Clawson, Chairman.
