Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 65: August 13, 1903 Savior. _this is because the people have become acquainted with the name of the Savior and have learned from the Jewish Scriptures very much in regard to the Lord and the doctrines that were new in His day. His mission was a new revelation to them. The doctrines He then presented were different from those entertained in the world. The Christian world today have learned many of His doctrines, and although it is difficult for any to embrace the whole, yet all Christians embrace many of them. Hence we come to a people who have a portion of faith in the Savior. We come to a Christian people who have the Bible before them and are well acquainted with its doctrines, and who have learned a great deal from the Savior and His disciples. We now find men with the courage to accept the Gospel. The Christian spirit is more tolerant, than it used to be. The people are better prepared to tolerate the truth than they were anciently. When we come with the message of life and salvation, we find the world measurably prepared for our doctrines. They are in sympathy with the teachings of the Bible, not only of the Old Testament, but the New Testament also, hence our way is comparatively easy. The Lord has revealed the truth in these last days from the heavens. He has restored His word and commanded His disciples to preach it in all the world. He has revealed Himself to the Prophet Joseph Smith, and how necessary it was, for there had not been prop Ts on the earth for eighteen hundred years! Although people lived in Christian world, the living oracles were not among them. There have been many churches; they have labored faithfully with their ministers for the salvation of the people, but they have not enjoyed the holy priesthood. You remember that the Church of the Savior was not tolerated. He Himself was destroyed, as His Apostles were also. The world was not prepared at' that time to receive the message He had, hence His authority and His Church were withdrawn from men, or were driven from among them. It was necessary after eighteen hundred years that the Lord should commence to reveal Himself to the children of men. For no man that lived during that length of time knew the Father, nor had any man lived that knew the Savior. No representatives, no authorized servants of the Lord had been upon the earth during that time. If they had they would have known the Father and Jesus Christ. They would have possessed the Holy Ghost, and would have been taught by its power. The heavens would have been opened as they were to the Son of God, and the Holy Ghost would have descended upon those properly baptized. They would have known the Father and the Son. If the Christian world had had the proper authority among them they would have been one to-day instead of being numerous churches.
