Today you
belong to a ward and have a calling in that ward. Never does it happen that you
have a calling in more than one ward, however, it hasn’t always been this way.
At the time of Brigham Young it was not uncommon for individuals in this
organization to have callings in more than one ward. What was the organization?
a. The Relief Society
b. Young Men’s
c. The Priesthood
d. The Primary

Religion
At the
dedication of the Brigham Young Academy on January 4, 1892, Wilford Woodruff
stated to all teachers: “Don’t fail to teach the children to honor God if you
are told that religion should not be taught in Schools. Tell such persons that
there is a God in heaven and He has lead His people, preserved and guided them,
and that nothing exists in the Constitution prohibiting such from teaching our
children religion.”

A The Bible
The
following comments appeared in the Millennial
Star of February 1, 1892: “It is pleasing to note the success which is
attending such institutions as the Brigham Young Academy in Utah, the new
building for which was dedicated on January 4, and is now occupied. The
advanced educational facilities afforded in such places to the children of the
Latter-day Saints receive due appreciation. Religious instruction and the use
of the Bible are forbidden in the public schools of the United States, but in
the colleges and academies which exist and are increasing under the direction
of the General Church Board of Education, the young people of Israel are
afforded ample opportunities for being instructed in the worship of the true
and living God. The Young University, which has just been inaugurated, is destined
to take the front place in the system of schools. Its buildings are to be like
those of the great Yale and Harvard universities in America, and its course of
instruction in the sciences and classics will be second to none, while its
theological department will have the advantage over all schools outside of
those conducted by the Latter-day Saints, in that it will inculcate the
principals of pure Christianity—the everlasting gospel of Christ.”
