The conception of God immanent in the world, not in bodily presence, of course, but by his spirit--a divine power, carrying with it everywhere the influence of God--proceeding forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space; the light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world--to which all men have access whether following the light of nature or of revelation, the light which is in all things and the power by which all things are sustained and in which they live and move and have their being--this conception, with the conception of the Holy Ghost as a Spirit-personage, union with whom and companionship with whom can only be secured by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel, is a conception that will correct some errors of argumentation that have here and there obtained in the literature of the subject, and leads to an understanding of things at once rational and uplifting, because it is a development of the truth as God has revealed it. This is the purpose of the treatise--The Divine Immanence, and the Holy Ghost. WORKS OF REFERENCE. Relative to works of reference I would remind the student that outside of the scriptures accepted by the Church the works that may be cited to assist one in studying the subject of this treatise are very scarce, since the doctrine of the Church on the subject is so radically different from that of the world. I can therefore only recommend as helpful the following brief list. The Seventy's Library, viz.: _The Bible,_ _The Book of Mormon,_ _The Doctrine and Covenants,_ _The Pearl of Great Price,_ containing the _Book of Moses,_ the _Book of Abraham,_ and some of the _Writings of Joseph Smith._ The above books are certainly indispensable to every Seventy, and should be owned by every member of our quorums. The First Council in their recommendations, added to the above list, _"Richards and Little's Compendium of the Doctrines of the Gospel,"_ and called the set the "Seventy's Indispensable Library." Elder James E. Talmage's _Articles of Faith,_ Orson Pratt's Works--_Kingdom of God._ _Rays of Living Light,_ by President Charles W. Penrose. _Scientific Aspects of Mormonism,_ N. L. Nelson. _The Gospel,_ Roberts. _The Mormon Doctrine of Deity,_ Roberts. The Seventy's Year Books, a complete set. There is constant reference made in the present number to previous numbers; and the student who is not in possession of those numbers is by so much deprived of the opportunity to complete his inquiry on the division of the subject he may have in hand, and as this number completes at present the set of Seventy's Year Books, each member of the respective quorums, we think, should be anxious to obtain the complete set.
