The Seventy's Course in Theology, Second Year: Outline History of the Dispensations of the Gospel
Roberts, B. H. (Brigham Henry)
Latter Day Saint churches -- Doctrines
Also there is in print the "Ecclesiastical History" by Eusebius
Pamphilus. Bishop of Caesarea, covering the first three Christian
centuries. Eusebius is generally styled the "Father of Ecclesiastical
History," and those who can obtain this authority are dealing with
original sources of information. The work is translated from the Greek,
and published and obtainable through any of our book stores. In this
connection we urge our members to gradually obtain; but as soon as may
be, these reference books, as no workman can get along without tools.
_The Improvement Era:_ We call attention also to the Improvement
Era, the Organ of the Seventies and of the Young Men's Mutual
Improvement Associations, with its special Seventy's department, The
Seventy's Council Table. This magazine affords the First Council
opportunity to reach every quorum of Seventy once every month
throughout the year--Twelve communications each year, of several
pages of printed matter, bearing upon Seventies work;--suggestions
in class work; dealing with questions of quorum administration; with
questions of doctrine, and history, and exposition of the scriptures.
How valuable an adjunct it has become in our work! We enjoin it upon
our presidents that they see to it that all subjects in the Era of
special interest to their several quorums be brought forth to said
quorums by the Presidents, and read for the information of the quorum,
that all may be benefited by the instruction. From reports made to
the General Secretary, Elder J. G. Kimball, we learn that some two
thousand Seventies take the Era, so that with each monthly issue of
the Era we are in touch with that many individual Seventies. Many more
of our members, however, should subscribe for this magazine, and the
Presidents should urge members to subscribe for and read it as one of
the best means of keeping in touch with the work of the Seventies.
