The Seventy's Course in Theology, Second Year: Outline History of the Dispensations of the Gospel
Roberts, B. H. (Brigham Henry)

1. They (the Danes) did not care for grammar, and, consequently, their
influence unsettled the inflections of the language and prepared the
way for their complete disappearance.
_Corrected._ They (the Danes) did not observe the rules of
grammar, and, consequently, their influence unsettled the language and
prepared the way for the complete disappearance of inflection.
2. General Johnson's father, also a soldier, died in battle before his
twentieth year.
_Corrected._ General Johnson's father, also a soldier, died in
battle before his son was twenty.
In the first sentence, "their" refers grammatically to "the Danes," in
sense to "inflections;" in the second, "his" refers grammatically to
"father," in sense to "General Johnson." Be careful to make a pronoun
refer grammatically to the word it modifies in sense. In all these
cases, rewriting has increased the number of words, but when clearness
is at stake, to think of the number of words is a "penny-wise,
pound-foolish policy." (Composition and Rhetoric, Herrick and Damon,
pp. 305-7.)

NOTES.
_1. Dispensation of the Fullness of Times:_ A "dispensation,"
in a general way, has been already defined (Lesson VII, note I.) By
"Dispensation of the Fullness of Times" is meant the dispensation
which includes all others; and gathers to itself all things which
bear any relation whatsoever to the work of God. Also it is the last
dispensation, the one in which will be gathered together in one all
things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth;
even in Him. It is the dispensation which will see fulfilled all the
decrees of God respecting the salvation of men and the redemption of
the earth itself; and bears such relation to all other dispensations of
the Gospel as the ocean does to all earth's streams. It receives and
reunites them all in itself. (History of the Church, Vol. I, pp. 25-6.)
_2. The Announcement of the Universal Apostacy:_ It is a most
startling announcement with which the Prophet Joseph Smith begins his
message to the world. Concerning the question, he asked God--"Which of
all the sects is right, and which shall I join?" he says:
