Sermon by President Joseph Smith III of the RLDS Church, delivered on September 2, 1900. He makes a statement regarding Joseph Smith, Jr (his father) seeing an angel in the grove during the first vision experience, "I may be pardoned this morning if my discourse be somewhat discursive, and I review, as rapidly as I may, some of the things which have been done in the spiritual realm of controversy since this church was organized April 6, 1830. In the first place the statement made by the angel to him who was chosen as the earthly instrument by which the church should be represented abroad, and should find its organization, was that the declarations of belief, or the creeds, were an abomination in God's sight."

Includes the complete schedule, Friday, April 2nd to Sunday, April 18th, 1926.

Includes the Epitome of Faith for the R.L.D.S. Church.

Published by the RLDS Church. Elder Phillips states, "While divers creeds and doctrines of men are being preached throughout the world, honest-hearted men and women everywhere are longing, and their souls yearning, for the truth as Jesus and his disciples taught it; and while they pant for a refreshing drink from the fountain of the 'water of life' at which disciples of olden time were so freely filled, their eager hearts are again and again disappointed by the mirage - seemingly so real - which the delusive theories of men present before them. To such this message is addressed with confidence, nay, with certainty, that if they will step out into the sunlight of God's love by obeying the gospel as taught by those whom he has sent to proclaim it, as found in his word, their hungry souls will be fed, and their drooping spirits refreshed by that heavenly power which the followers of Christ in ancient time enjoyed."

Discusses the Church of Christ. "The phrase 'church' is used to designate a particular congregation of believers united in the gospel order; also the collective body of believers made up of all the churches throughout the world, and in all ages. Paul generally named the different congregations or assemblies, as churches. The word 'church' occurs about sixty-four times in the New Testament; the term 'Church of God' seven times; and the word 'churches' about thirty-four times."

15 minutes sermon by Evan A. Fry on Our American Scriptures, given on July 19, 1953. He states, "The Book of Mormon is not intended to displace the Bible, but to establish it more firmly and securely as the word of God. The Book of Mormon brings an added witness to the divinity of Jesus, in a time when many modern philosophies are doubting his divinity, and watering down his deity to make him just a great man who was many centuries ahead of his time. The Book of Mormon is an added witness to the impartiality and unchangeability of God, whose Only Begotten Son came as the Savior of all men, and whose message of salvation is for all nations."

Brother Fry states, "Perhaps the most important function of the Holy Spirit is to bear witness to the divinity and the resurrected and continuing life of Jesus Christ. Paul says that no man speaking by the Spirit of God can call Jesus accursed. John says that the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy. Jesus said that when the Comforter came it would testify of him."

Article by F. Henry Edwards of the RLDS Church. He states, "The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has never adopted a creed. This is not because we are without deep convictions in matters of fundamental Christianity, nor is it because we have been blown about by every wind of doctrine; it is rather because we believe that a gospel so rich and vital as the good news of Jesus defies our attempts to confine it in words and phrases. To attempt such a task would be like trying to measure the promise of youth with a foot rule, or to describe the glory of a sunrise to a blind person. Words are too inert. Only life can tell."

First in a series of six lectures given to the Melchisedec Priesthood at the RLDS Stone Church in Independence, Missouri, USA from October 3 to 13, 1966. Brother Oakman states, "Brethren, there is an outer, external world which is designed to minister the life of God to us. And there is also an invisible, interior, inner world, and it is this invisible interior world, the world that is within us, with which we have to do, so terribly important. And, all of the apparatus known to us as the universe, the whole flux of things created, the presence of our fellow men, our heritage, history, all things, are designed that we may take them inside us. And that there may be created in us, in each one of us a universe of discourse, which shall be truly in harmony with the Spirit, and the mind, and the will of our Heavenly Father."
