Mutual Work

QjyLutual Work Introduction to the M. I. A. Slogan — 1926-27 March 1927 "We stand for a testimony of the divine mission of Joseph Smith." Monthly Themes: October — How to obtain a testimony. November — The announcement of the restoration of the gospel. December — The need of the restoration of the gospel. January — The heavens are opened and the Lord speaks. February — The Book of Mormon a testimony of the divine mission of Joseph Smith. March- — Authority. 1 . Authority to Baptize — The Lord restored the Gospel of Jesus Christ with all its gifts and blessings that were in the Primitive Church through Joseph Smith the Prophet. Read John 3:5. On one occasion in translating the Book of Mormon, Joseph and Oliver came to a statement respecting baptism for the remission of sins, and went into the woods to inquire of the Lord respecting this matter. While they were thus calling upon the Lord, an angel, who announced himself as John, the same that is called John the Baptist in the New Testament, came and conferred upon them the Aaronic Priesthood. He said he was acting under the direction of Peter, James and John, the ancient Apostles who held the keys of the Higher or Melchizedek Priesthood, which Joseph and Oliver were assured would be given them in due time. Joseph and Oliver were ordained to the Aaronic Priesthood by this John the Baptist, in the words found in the Doctrine and Covenants, sections 13; 84:26, 27. Joseph and Oliver were now authorized to baptize for the remission of sins, in the manner given in the Doctrine and Covenants, section 20:37, 73, which read. This authority to baptize, so conferred, is a striking testimony of the divine mission of Joseph Smith. 2. Authority to confer the Holy Ghost. — -Peter, in speaking to the multitude and calling them to repentance and baptism for the remission of sins, said further, "And ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many the Lord our God shall call." Acts 2:38-39. The ancient apostles laid their hands on baptized converts, who received the Holy Ghost. Acts 8:17. Following the appearance of John the Baptist to Joseph and Oliver, there shortly after appeared to them on the banks of the Susquehanna river, the ancient apostles, Peter, James and John, who laid their hands upon Joseph and Oliver and conferred upon them the Holy Priesthood after the order of Melchizedek and ordained them as special witnesses of the Lord Jesus Christ and conferred upon them the keys of power to the Priesthood which they themselves possessed. See History of the Church, Vol. 1, note, page 40-41 : D. and C. 27:12, 13; 128:20. By revelation through Joseph Smith, History of the Church, Vol. 1, pages 287-291, Joseph Smith and the elders of the Church were told by the Lord: "As I said unto mine apostles, I say unto you again, that every soul who believeth on your words, and is baptized by water for the remission of sins, shall receive the Holy Ghost." See D. and C. 84:64-74.

MUTUAL WORK 471 And again it is said, "And whoso having faith you shall confirm in my church, by the laying on of hands, and I will bestow the gift of the Holy Ghost upon them." D. and C. 33:15. The laying on of the hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost completes the ordinance of baptism; and the Holy Ghost has the effect of pure know- ledge and intelligence (D. and C. 121:26), and is powerful in expanding the mind, enlightening the understanding, storing the intellect with present knowledge, and can be received through the medium of no other principle than the principle of righteousness. Thousands who have received the Holy Ghost through the administration of the elders can testify of it's power, which is a strong testimony of the divine calling and mission of the Prophet Joseph. 3. Authority for Organization. — In the revelation on Church Organ- ization and Government, Doctrine and Covenants, section 20, the Prophet had shown to him upon which day, according to the Lord's will and com- mandment, the Church of Jesus Christ should be organized once more upon the earth. The Lord attested the genuineness of the Book of Mormon, gave commandment respecting baptism, defined the functions of the several offices in the Priesthood and prescribed the mode of baptism, administering the Sacra- ment, and directed the keeping of records of church membership. In these instructions the Lord speaks of apostles, high priests, elders, bishops, priests, teachers, deacons, high councilors, setting forth their duties. Joseph was called to be a seer, translator, a prophet and an apostle of the Lord, and an elder of the Church through the will of the Father and the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Sec. 21:1; 124:125. This organization and later perfections that have come from the Lord in the organization and government of his church, have aroused the wonder and admiration of many peoples. The perfection of the institution precludes the thought that it was devised by man. All of which proves beyond doubt that Joseph Smith's mission was divine. 4. Authority to lay on hands for the healing of the sick. — "Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the Church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him." James 5:14, 15. To the Prophet Joseph Smith, the Lord said in a revelation: "And whosoever among you are sick, and have not faith to be healed, but believe, shall be nourished with all tenderness, with herbs and mild food, and that not by the hand of an enemy. And the elders of the church two or more, shall be called, and shall pray for and lay their hands upon them in my name; and if they die they shall die unto me, and if they live they shall live unto me." D. and C. 42:43, 44. Thousands of Latter-day Saints who have had faith have been admin- istered to by the elders, through this authority, and have been healed, and bear witness to the promises and blessings of the Lord. These blessings and healings are a strong testimony of the divine mission' of Joseph Smith. What To Do In March This is musical and literary month, in which a splendid musical and literary evening should be provided. In connection therewith, interest should be aroused in the stake and district contests to be held in May. The out- standing idea is that each department of the M. I. A. will feature its best talent, discovered in the musical and literary evening, for use in May, and that the program for May will be made up, partly at least, of the best contest numbers found in March. In this connection we call attention to the list of contests published in the December number of the Era, pages 200. 201 and

4 72 IMPROVEMENT ERA 202, in which appear the contests for the M. I. A. Church grand finals, joint and separate. Also the stake and district contests are enumerated. See also the M. I. A. Year Round Recreation Contests, 1927, pages 22 and 25. Make efficient efforts to interest the attendance of the membership so as to keep your average up until the end of May. Make an effort to win the new reading course 1927-28. See Decem- ber Era. page 198, and arrange also for reports on the reading course books, according to blank there suggested. Check on the Senior Class and the M Men, in study and activity. Send in your ward and stake efficiency reports for March, no later than April 10. How do your statistical and efficiency reports compare with other stakes, as published in the January, February and March numbers of the Era? Try to get 10 for March in your ward and stake on Reading the Book of Mormon. It's easy, if you try. Nevada Stake When the Nevada stake was organized, E. T. Gibson, McGill, Nevada, was chosen stake board member for the Junior department, Scouting and Advanced Juniors. Several troops have been organized by him since then, notably at McGill and Preston. In McGill there is a Community League, and Mr. Gibson has been made director and is using every opportunity to work for the benefit of the Boy Scouts. Last Summer they took an outing to the surrounding creeks, and a little cabin was given to the boys and girls. They had a four-days' outing. The old cabin was torn down and moved to a new camp where a new cabin was built. The boys did all the work and made a good job of it. Understanding in Singing Nothing else can add so much to the effectiveness of the singing in the assemblies of the auxiliary organizations of the Latter-day Saints as for each individual to sing with understanding. To do so one must know the text thoroughly, and must put his whole soul into the music. Too many sing their songs meaninglessly ; without the spirit, song is dead. That is the reason the audience don't get it. In the profession they call it, "putting it over." Unless you put your song over, you may as well not sing. You must get the spirituality of a sacred song; you must feel what you are singing; get the atmosphere; sing the words clearly and distinctly, don't mouth them. Let the vowels stand out plain. A smooth tone, pure "legato" preparation, should be your first thought; to do it right should be your motto; then success will crown your efforts. Learn to be thorough in all that you do. When asked to sing, say, "Yes, I'll do my best." We ought to have songs of a high standard. You would be surprised to know how many beautiful anthems there are that we do not sing in our communities. If you want good congregational singing or a good choir, you must get music that appeals to your singers. Make use of the talents God has given you. Help to make the hearts of the people rejoice. Music must not be too difficult, but singable, with words appropriate to the services. Nothing will add more to the spirituality of a meeting than good singing. — Charles Kent, supervisor of music, public schools, Rock Springs, Wyoming. First Annual Archers' Tournament CACHE VALLEY COUNCIL, B. S. A. Logan, Utah Last November, the First Annual Archers' Tournament of the Cache Valley Council, B. S. A., was held at Logan, Utah, and prizes were awarded

MUTUAL WORK 473 by the Logan Hardware Company, both individual prize and troop prize. Troops No. 6, 12, and 4 took part. The distances were 60 yards, 50 yards and 40 yards. The winner in the individual score was Comrade Johnson. troop 6, score 624 in all scores. The second place in the individual score was Delbert Worley, troop 4, 5 33; third place, individual score, Delbert Stiener, troop 4, 450. Thirty arrows were shot at 60 yards, and the same number at 50 and 40 yards. Each contestant shot three arrows. Twenty points were awarded for every arrow making a hit. The rules and regulations may be of interest to other Boy Scout organizations, and we therefore give them in full: All materials used in contest — as bows, arrows, strings, etc. — must have been made by the contestant. 1. The regulation target — 4 feet in diameter — shall be used as follows: gold 9.6" diameter, remaining ring 4.8" wide. The value of the colors, gold 9, red 7, blue 5, black 3, white 1. 2. follows : The American Round shall be used and the points shall be awarded as A — Score. B — Total Hits — one point for each hit. C — The archer having the greatest total by adding both hits and score shall be declared winner in the individual contest. In case of'tie the award shall be made to the archer having the greatest number of hits. American Round: 30 arrows at 60 yards. 30 arrows at 50 yards. 30 arrows at 40 yards. 4 3. Distance Shooting — Each contestant shall shoot 3 arrows for distance — arrows falling short of 150 yards shall not be counted as score. 5 points shall be awarded for every arrow carrying over 150 yards. 1 point extra shall be awarded for every yard over the 150 yards. 4. Roving — The judge shall select at random objects without regard for distance and contest- ants shall be allowed three arrows each and shall shoot at the object. 20 points shall be awarded for every arrow making a hit. Points shall be counted for hits.

474 IMPROVEMENT ERA 5. Troop Score — In case of three scouts shooting for one troop, an average of the aggregate score of all events shall be taken and the result shall be called the troop score. In case just one boy represents a troop, he shall be allowed to shoot three times and take an average or he can let his individual first score stand as the troop score. The method to be used shall be determined upon before the meet. 6. Each archer shall shoot ten arrows — comprising one end of 10 arrows. The arrows shall then be drawn from the target and scored. 7. An arrow hitting two colors shall count as hitting the inner one. Golden Eagle nine weeks old; photo taken by Christen Hansen, Scoutmaster, Troop 45, Mink Creek, Idaho. Nest from which the eagle was taken is on Mr. Hansen's farm. Seminary at Midway, Idaho The picture shows the L. D. S. Seminary building at Midway, near Menan, Idaho. The ground for this building was broken August 4 ; sem- inary work began in it September 23, and it was dedicated November 21, 1926, by Elder Richard R. Lyman of the Council of the Twelve. One hundred per cent of the Latter-day Saint Midway high school students are en- rolled, besides six others not members of the Church, and the students are showing much interest in their new field of study.

4 76 IMPROVEMENT ERA Summit Stake Outing Supt. Robert S. Hillier, Y. M. M. I. A., Hoytsville, Utah, reports a splendid time at the Fathers and Sons' outing of the Summit stake in the Fall of 1926. David Sharp. Jr.. was in charge, and they had a splendid time, with activity every moment. E. L. Hansen of the stake superintendency welcomed the crowd by especially excellent preparation. They named the camp. "Camp Bald Mountain." elevation 9000 ft. This prominent mountain with its pal, "Reed's Peak," arose in majesty like a sentinel of protection. On the second day most of the crowd hiked to the top of Bald Mountain. The boys, on reaching the summit, exclaimed, "What a 'whopper' the world is!" The campfire programs in the evenings were very interesting, following the sports throughout each of the three days. When the time came for returning, all felt reluctant to leave for home, they had enjoyed so good a time in their outing. Now is a good time to consider details for the Summer outing, 1927. Maricopa in the Lead Recently we announced that, with 177 Life Memberships, the Rigby stake stood at the head of the Church in this activity of the Y. M. M. I. A. Since then the Maricopa stake, Arizona, has raised its Life Memberships to 215, placing that stake at the head of the Church to date. We certainly appreciate the splendid work of the stakes mentioned, and that of many others, for that matter, which are following up nobly in this activity, to aid materially in accelerating the splendid labors of the Y. M. M. I. A. throughout the Church, and to be a help to all the organizations. Current Events A Study for the M. I. A. Senior Classes, 1926-27 (Prepared by the Advanced Senior Committee) LESSONS FOR MARCH. 1927 I — POLITICS AND INDUSTRY 1 . The Nicaraguan Trouble. The question has been asked in Congress if certain forces are drawing us into war with Mexico because of recent armed intervention in Nicaragua. Behind the Nicaraguan problem looms our Mexican problem, which seems to be a difficult one to solve at the present time. Throughout Latin America there seems to be a feeling against the United States, whether justified or not, and Mexico seems to be taking the leading part in opposition to our government: that is. she is trying to weaken American prestige in Central America, and if she can do that she thinks that she can get the support of South American countries. Conditions which seriously threaten and affect American lives and property endanger the stability of Central America and thus jeopardize the rights granted by Nicaragua to the United States for the construction of a canal. The whole difficulty seems to have arisen over the question of the presidency of Nicaragua. Our government recognizes Adolphus Diaz, the Mexican government recognizes Juan B. Sacasa, and President Diaz has ap- pealed to the United States for help in protecting the lives and property of Americans and other foreigners in Nicaragua, and this government is coming to his support on that ground. President Coolidge thinks that it is our duty to take such steps as may be necessary for the preservation of the lives and property and interests of the citizens of Nicaragua, as well as of our own government, and that, in doing

MUTUAL WORK 4 77 so, he is only following precedent. Senator Wm. E. Borah is opposed to the administration's course and argues that Sacasa's claim to the presidency is constitutionally sound. QUESTIONS 1. Where is Nicaragua? 2. What are her principal industries? 3. Of what benefit is it to the United States to see that a stable and constitutional government in Nicaragua is preserved? 4. Why is Mexico so concerned? 5. In what way would she be benefited? 6. In what way does, the settlement of the Nicaraguan question concern nations of Europe? Reference: Literary Digest, Jan. 22, 1927, pp. 5-7; Time, 17, 1927, p. 10. 2. The Navy Question. "In 1924, Congress authorized the construction of eight cruisers. Ap- propriations were subsequently made for the beginning work on five of these vessels. President Coolidge is quite willing to agree to the authorization of ten cruisers in addition to the eight already authorized, but does not want appropriations made for them at this time, and the house has substantiated him." "The United States now has ten cruisers to forty for Great Britain and ninety for Japan, but all of these are of pre-war construction. The United States is now building two and has appropriated for three more. Great Britain is building eleven and has appropriated for three more; Japan is building six." QUESTIONS 1. What is your opinion on this subject? 2. Do you think President Coolidge is right in not wanting to make appropriations for more cruisers at the present time, or is he too economical on this question? 3. Why should we increase our navy? Why not? 4. Is economy always the best thing? If not, why not? 5. What is the difference between economy and parsimony? 6. Is there something else back of the problem besides economy? 7. Is it necessary for the United States to be mistress of the seas and thus increase her navy, or should she let England retain that status? 8. If war is going to be stopped, is it necessary to go building cruisers and battleships? If so, why? If not, why not? Reference: Literary Digest, January 2 2, 192 7, pp. 8-9. 3 . The Soldiers' Bonus. Congress at the present time is asked to pass laws to make it easier for the bonus certificate holders to realize a little ready cash, and the banks are willing to come to their assistance. Beginning January 3 of this year, the soldiers' bonus certificate has a loan value amounting to $8.79 on each $100 of face value. It is estimated that more than 2,800,000 of these insurance certificates are in existence and that the average loan value is about $90. If a national or state bank lends money on these certificates, the Federal Reserve Banks will re-discount these notes so as to give the loaning bank a 2% profit. Since January 3, veterans all over the country have flocked to the banks to get loans on these certificates, and banks consider it is a civic duty to help these men. QUESTIONS 1. What do you think about this question? 2. Would loans made against these certificates be good or bad loans from the point of view of commercial banks: that is, are they productive loans? 3. What effect would these loans have upon inflation? 4. If loans should be made upon these certificates, ought not they to be made by the government itself rather than by banks? 5. Since the Veteran's Bureau will redeem all unpaid notes at maturity, is there any danger of these loans becoming "frozen?" 6. Won't loans on these certificates likely stimulate business and trade

The present immigration law is recognized as the best one that we have ever had and yet it has many faults. When the new quota system, under which immigration has been restricted since the 1924 act, became a law. Congress provided that a nation's quota should be 2% of the number of persons born in that country who were living in the United States in 1890. This provision was made to apply until June 30, 1927. The new im- migration quotas, therefore, will go into effect soon. Many are opposed to the immigration law as it now stands, on the ground that the quota is based upon foreign born rather than upon the people who are born here. But we must remember that no matter how meritorious any law may be, it will always have its advocates and critics. By the present quota, immigration admits 2% of the foreign born of each country residing in the United States in 1890 and it seems to have proved very satisfactory. It might be amended, however, in order to admit wives and children of those who have signified their intentions of becoming natural- ized citizens of this country; but the new plan is based upon the "national origin basis" and it will greatly increase the quotas of some countries and reduce it in others. QUESTIONS 1. What is your opinion on this question? 2. Do you think the present immigration law is too strict or too liberal? 3. What countries would be affected by a law based upon estimated quotas on the "national origin" basis? 4. How would such a basis affect England, Germany and France? Reference: Literary Digest, January 22, 1927, p. 14 ii — religious and social movements 1 — Divorce See Literary Digest, January 8, 1927, page 30. Divorce in the United States is increasing alarmingly. The Department of Commerce urges the need of uniform law governing divorce and to take measures that will prevent those marriages that lead from the altar to the court. There is now one divorce to every seven marriages. In 1924 there were 170,952 divorces in the United States; in 1925, 175,495. What reason is generally given for divorce? What other reason can you give? What do you think of the statement that "those who would make divorce more difficult will attack the evil at the wrong end?" What justifies divorce? 2 — Why do men go wrong? See Literary Digest, January 8, 1927, page 32 Dean Charles R. Brown of the Yale Divinity School claims that behavior is not the result of heredity and environment, insisting that they can be over- come "even though the dice may be loaded against a man at the start." When people do wrong, he asserts, "it's because they want to and for no other reason." Do you agree with the Dean? Justify your stand. 3 — Our Greatest Problem See Literary Digest, January 1, 1927, page 24. The National Economic League recently sent out a questionnaire to the

MUTUAL WORK 4 79 members of the National Council, asking What is our greatest problem? The answers have been tabulated as follows: Lawlessness, disrespect for law 1203 Administration of justice 1 173 World Court _ 950 Prohibition _ 946 Taxation .— 75 8 Ethical, Moral and Religious Training 701 Agriculture 692 Do you think there is an abnormal amount of lawlessness and disrespect for law existing in this country at present?
