The fifty years' marvelous growth of the Sunday School organ- ization of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Rocky Mountains of America and in other portions of the world is reason sufficient for the appearance of this record. The period from the assembling of that little group of Sunday School pupils gathered in the humble s",hoolhouse in the Fourteenth Ward, Salt Lake City, December 9, 1849, to the grand and inspiring demonstration in the Tabernacle in the same city, October 8, 1899 nearly fifty years later we have in the following pages endeavored to briefly and faithfully chronicle. To round out that poetic period so as to embrace a few items of the local Jubilee celebrations, and include the Sunday School statistics of that year, we have continued this history to the 31st of December, 1899. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON SUNDAY SCHOOL JUBILEE AND HISTORY. General Superintendent George Q. Cannon, and Members of the Deseret Sun- day School Union Board. DEAR BRETHREN: With the completion of the JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS, our duties as your committee on the Sunday School Jubilee and History close. We therefore desire to make a report to you of our labors. The general celebration held in the Tabernacle, Salt Lake City, Utah, October 8th, 1899, in commemoration of the establishment of the first Sun- day School in the Rocky Mountains, has passed into history, and serves as a monument to mark the half-century of progress of the Sunday Schools of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The program and other items of interest connected with the celebration, will be found in the volume just completed. If the general celebration held in the Tabernacle was successful, the local celebrations held in the various wards and missions throughout the Church, on the 10th of December, 1899, were none the less so. So far as we have been able to learn, the Sunday Schools generally carried out faith- fully the allotted program, and made the occasion one long to be remem- bered. In looking over the reports of the local celebrations, we can but feel that the Lord was very gracious unto all, and blessed each gathering with a rich outpouring of his Holy Spirit. The task of completing the history of our Sunday Schools, with such data relating to their establishment as we could obtain from the respective Sun- day Schools throughout the Church, has not been an easy one. Since the general and local celebrations, we have worked almost incessantly to bring our labors to a successful issue, and it has seemed at times as though this would never be realized. The completion of our general history was com- paratively easy, because we could get the desired information, as a rule, by personal visits to those who had it to give. Not so, however, with the data we desired from each school. This had to be obtained by correspond- ence; and hundreds of letters on the subject have been written to the Sun- day Schools throughout the Church. In many instances our efforts to obtain the information desired were neutralized by the inattention of the parties addressed, or their inability to furnish the information needed. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON JUBILEE AND HISTORY. V" To get the necessary data from the stake Sunday School organizations,, and the various Sunday Schools, we adopted a uniform system, which was as follows: We had two blank forms printed, containing questions, which, if properly answered, would furnish us the requisite matter for the contem- plated history. |0ne of these forms was for the stake Sunday School organ- izations to fill out, and the other for the use of the Sunday schools in the wards and missions. We mailed these blank forms to the proper parties with a request that they be returned to us correctly filled out as soon as possible. When the forms were returned, the matter contained therein was edited, typewritten, and sent back to the Stake or ward organization, for any necessary correction. With this typewritten matter, we also sent a letter requesting that the data be carefully examined by the proper parties, corrections made where needed, and the corrected copy returned to us- within ten days. Quite a number cheerfully complied with our request, but very many, we are compelled to state, in justice to ourselves, did not do so. If any mistakes have therefore occurred through this inattention to our instructions, we feel that the responsibility is not ours. The object in getting out the work, as we understood it, was to com- pile in one volume, our general Sunday School history, including a brief account of each stake Sunday School organization, the date of the establish- ment of each Sunday School, together with such other information as would be appreciated in a work of this kind, and which would serve to preserve in a brief but complete form our general history, for the use of those who- shall succeed us in the great Sunday School work. When these reports came back, however, we found that many of our brethren and sisters had made all sorts of requests of us; some wanted elaborate histories of their schools printed, others the names of all the officers and teachers inserted who had served for years in the past; still others wanted biographical articles to become part of the work. It can be readily understood that all this matter could not go into our history for the reason that it would have- been impracticable, because we could not have gotten the necessary informa- tion together to make the history of each school complete, and then even should we have succeeded in this, the matter thus collected would have filled several volumes, a proposition too costly to be undertaken, and one that would be foreign to the original intention. . However, we gave the matter due consideration, and inserted, with the dates of the establishment of the various Sunday Schools, a list of the superintendents, assistant superintendents and secretaries, and the time each one served as far as obtainable ; and have provided, at the end of the book, six- teen blank pages suitably ruled and headed, in which can be written such Sun- VI REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON JUBILEE AND HISTORY. day School history as the owner may desire to place therein. These additions have very materially increased the size of the work over the original estimate. We think it would be a good plan for each Sunday School to obtain one or more copies of this History and write in the blank pages a full list of all those faithful workers whose labors have been such a help in making the Sunday School a success; names of assistant secretaries, treas- urers, librarians, choristers, organists, teachers, and others should be enrolled, and also a more detailed history of the school might be recorded ; and when this is done the book should be preserved for future reference. Also the army of faithful Sunday School workers should each possess them- selves of one of these books, and enter their own individual Sunday School history in it, and cause it to be handed down to their children, that they may emulate the example presented in the lives and labors of these faith- ful men and women. We cannot mention the names of all to whom we are indebted for assistance in our labors, it would take several pages to do so. We do desire, however, to thank one and all who have in any way assisted us in the task we have just completed. We can assure the brethren and sisters who have so kindly aided us, that they have our heartfelt thanks. Elder Edwin F. Parry has been our editor. Much of the work of bringing the information obtained from the different sources into readable shape devolved upon him, and to him we also tender our most hearty thanks. We are also much indebted to Brother Charles R. Savage, and the members of his estab- lishment, for the care displayed by them in grouping and producing the photographs for the plates our book contains. Now brethren, we hope our labors Will meet with the approval of your- selves and the Deseret Sunday School Union over which you preside, and that the result will fill the requirements intended, namely: that those who come after us and labor in the Sunday School cause, may have historical data to build upon, and thus our early history in regard to the great Sun- day School movement among the Latter-day Saints be preserved for future generations. Should such prove to be the case we shall be more than repaid for our labors. Your brethren, JOSEPH W. SUMMERHAYS, THOMAS C. GRIGGS, LEVI W. RICHARDS, JOHN M. MILLS, GEORGE D. PYPER, HORACE S.

THE GENERAL SUNDAY SCHOOL MOVEMENT. FIRST SUNDAY SCHOOL IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS. / TX) Elder Richard Ballantyne is due the credit for establishing the 4- first Latter-day Saints Sunday School in Utah, which in fact was the first organization of the kind in the Rocky Mountain region. Brother Ballantyne came to Salt Lake valley in the fall of 1848 the year after its first settlement by the Latter-day Saints and located in the "Old Fort" which was erected on what is now know as "Pioneer Square," in the south-western quarter of Salt Lake City. In the Spring of 1849 he conceived the idea of establishing a Sunday School, and soon after he began preparations for building a house in which to hold the school he had in contemplation, and which would also serve as a residence for himself and family. He had at this time already moved from the Fort, and was living on his city lot sit- uated on what is now the corner of First West and Third South Streets, in the Fourteenth Ward. Here he had built one small room which he u^ed for a summer kitchen. Having two wagons, he used one for a sleeping apartment and the other for a store room. As many other men did in those early days, Brother Ballantyne built his own house, 10 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. doing the greater part of the work himself. To obtain material for the erection of the building he went to Mill Creek Canyon, south- east of the city, and cut down trees to provide the necessary timber. The logs thus secured he took to the mill to be sawed on shares, and then hauled his share down to his home. He procured rock from the quarry in Red Butte Canyon and "adobes" from the old yard in the western part of the city, where they were made in those days. Then, during the time he could spare from other labors necessary to pro- vide food, he put up the walls of the structure. He did all the masonry and -all the carpenter work with the exception of making the window sashes and the doors. The room to be used for school purposes was built in front of and adjoining the smaller room which he had put up earlier in the year. When completed, the new addition formed the principal part of the building, the room used as a summer kitchen forming a "lean-to" at the rear. As this house was what might be considered one typical of those days a more detailed description of it will be of interest. Its foundation was of roughly dressed red sandstone and the walls were of "adobes," large, sun-dried bricks. The school room was twenty feet long and eighteen feet wide (outside measurements), and was about ten feet from the foundation to the square of the walls, or as we would now say from floor to ceiling, but this room had no ceil- ing, although it had a floor of dressed lumber. The rafters were dressed logs. Across these logs boards were placed and the crevices between the boards were covered with slabs; the whole roof was then overlaid with several inches of soil. The house faced the street on the west. The large room was well lighted, having two windows in front and a window and a door, the upper part of which was glass, on the south side. The finished work in the building was painted and the walls were plastered on the inside. Benches for seating the pupils were made of wooden slabs. They were simply constructed by making holes in the slabs and fastening legs in them. The room was heated from an open fire-place in the south end of the room. On the west and south sides of the lot on which this building stood was a plain pole fence. With a view to -beautifying the sur- roundings of his new home, and to provide a shade in summer, Brother Ballantyne had, during the Spring when he first located 8 = 2 - = I JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 11 there, procured from City Creek Canyon a number of young native cottonwood trees, which he planted about his place. The accompanying picture is taken from a sketch of the above- described building and surroundings, made by the artist John Hafen from descriptions furnished by Brother Ballantyne. The sketching was done under the supervision of a committee appointed by the Des- eret Sunday School Union Board, in the presence of the committee and Brother Ballantyne, and was approved by the latter as being an excellent representation of the building as it appeared at the time (1849.) It may be here stated that the data for this sketch of the first Sunday School in Utah was given at the same interview to this same committee by Elder Ballantyne. When the building was completed, the children of the neighbor- hood were invited in for the purpose of forming a Sunday School. Quite a number of children responded to this invitation and at the first session held the room was pretty well filled. This was on Sun- day, the 9th day of December, 1849, and at this time Elder Ballantyne was both superintendent and teacher. His wife and child were there with the gathered children and in the presence of all assembled on that memorable day he dedicated by prayer the room for the purpose for which it was designed. Among the children who attended this school were members of the families of Apostles John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, Parley P. Pratt and Franklin D. Richards, as well as chil- dren of other prominent families; and it may be here stated that sev- eral of the pupils of this school have since attained prominence in the Church. During the first year the school numbered about fifty pupils. The children's names were not enrolled, nor were minutes of the pro- ceedings taken. The exercises began with singing and prayer, as is customary in Sunday Schools now. After the opening exercises a scripture lesson was presented. The pupils furnished their own books, such as the Bible, Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Cove- nants. The pupils were mostly small, ranging from eight or nine to fourteen years of age, and the lessons were chiefly from the New Testament. The children took a delight in attending the school, and there was no trouble in getting them there, although it opened at eight o'clock in the morning. In those days general Sabbath services 12 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. were held at ten o'clock, a. m., and the school dismissed in time to give its members an opportunity to attend them. Elder Ballantyne at this time was second counselor to John Mur- dock, the bishop of the ward, who was in full accord with what his co-worker was doing to educate the youth in the principles of the Gospel. In referring to the motive he had in organizing this Sunday School, Elder Ballantyne remarked that he saw a need for such an institution. "I felt," said he, "that the Gospel was too precious to myself to be withheld from the children. They ought to have the privilege of Gospel teaching, and that was the main purpose to teach them the Gospel because I felt it was very precious to me, and I thought it would be precious to them; and it was my duty to do that." The school continued in Brother Ballantyne's house for about a year. During the summer of 1850 a meeting house was built in the Fourteenth Ward, and as soon as it was completed the school moved into it. Brother Ballantyne continued as superintendent, but he now received some assistance. Brothers Joseph Home and Phineas Rich- ards were assistant superintendents, and several others acted as teachers, the school being divided into a number of classes. In 1852 Elder Ballantyne went upon a three years' mission to India, and Brother Joseph Home succeeded him as superintendent of the school. OTHER EARLY SUNDAY SCHOOLS- Following the example of Elder Ballantyne, many others who were inspired with a similar interest in the spiritual welfare of the young turned their efforts toward the establishment of Sunday Schools in other wards and settlements. In the year 1852 Sunday Schools were started in the Fourth Tenth and Twelfth wards, and also one in the Council House, Salt Lake City, under the auspices of the chancellor of the Deseret University, Orson Spencer; and in the same year one was established in American Fork. During the following year one each was opened in the Seventh and the Sixteenth wards of Salt Lake City, and in Manti, Sanpete County. Elder Ballantyne having returned from his JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 13 mission to India, organized, in 1856, a Sunday School in the Fifteenth Ward. The same year a Sunday School in the Seventeenth Ward, Salt Lake City, and one in Tooele, Tooele County were begun; and in 1857 the Sunday School of Draper, Salt Lake County, and that of Farmington, Davis County, were started. In the year 1858, when, at the approach of General Johnston's army, the Saints of Salt Lake City and the settlements north of it vacated their homes and moved to the south, all Sunday Schools affected by the "move" were of course discontinued. A number of early schools established in settlements south of Salt Lake City were compelled to close even before the approach of the army. The Indian attacks caused some of the settlements to be broken up and deserted for var- ious lengths of time. In -the early sixties Sunday Schools commenced to be re-established in the various settlements, and within a few years they sprang up in all parts of the country then settled. Owing to the incompleteness of data respecting their organizations, it is very diffi- cult to give Sunday School statistics for a number of years after the organization of the first school. The history of individual schools (especially of those which began at an early day), which is given in another part of this volume, will be found to be somewhat lacking in statistical information. ESTABLISHMENT OF A SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION. It must be borne in mind that all the early Sunday Schools in these valleys were organized and conducted by independent effort of those interested in the welfare of the young. There was but little unity of action among the settlements tending to the promotion of a general Sunday School movement. Those engaged in the laudable work during the early period met with many obstacles and difficulties. They were inadequately sup- plied with such text books as were then, as now, in general use in the advanced classes Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants; and there was almost an entire absence of works specially adapted to the primary classes. Besides this, they were in many instances with- out suitable meeting places. Many teachers were entirely without experience in teaching or even in having before attended such organizations. Much of the work 14 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. was therefore experimental; and in some instances far from being satisfactory. It was then a common thing to find the day school text books used in the Sunday School, and the class work often consisted merely of a reading or spelling exercise. Yet there were many faith- ful teachers full of earnestness and zeal, and although they were with- out pedagogical training and destitute of printed guides or manuals of instruction, they were not lacking in the guidance received through the Holy Spirit, and, having that, their labors were rewarded by the production of good fruits. Those who became actively engaged in Sunday School work soon realized the necessity of better methods and facilities for carrying on and continuing the good cause then in its infancy, and the importance of co-operation to attain the desired results became more and more apparent. With the beginning of the year 1866, Elder George Q. Cannon commenced the publication of a Sunday School periodical which was called the Juvenile Instructor. While on foreign missions he had become deeply impressed with the importance of taking steps at home to instruct the children of the Latter-day Saints in a systematic man. ner in the principles of the everlasting Gospel. To his mind there seemed to be a greater field at home for missionary effort among the rising generation than among any other people or anywhere else in the world. Realizing the value of the press in inculcating proper ideas upon this subject, he became convinced that a journal devoted to the Sunday School interest would be of great value. The effect of the publication of the Juvenile Instructor was almost immediately felt throughout Zion. It was a means of strength- ening the hands of those who had the Sunday School cause at heart, and it gave shape and direction to the efforts which were being made in the organization and maintenance of Sunday Schools. Its influence at that time was thus most beneficial, and was a powerful agency in bringing about concentration of effort in this direction. It performed in those early days a most excellent mission, and during the thirty-four years which have elapsed since then, it has continued this mission and has done most effective and valuable work. As early as the Spring of 1866 the organization of a Sunday School Union was suggested by William H. Shearman, in a letter writ- JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS- 15 ten to the Juvenile Instructor, and published in the issue of that paper dated April 15, 1866. The following year, at the October con- ference of the Church the desirability of an organization for the promo- tion of theSundaySchool cause throughout Zion received some attention, and on the 4th of November following a meeting of interested Sunday School workers was held in the Thirteenth Ward Assembly Hall, Salt Lake City, for the purpose of effecting a central organization. This was the first move made among the Latter-day Saints for such a pur- pose. There were not so many present as was expected at this gather- ing, so an adjournment was made until one week later. At the second meeting there was a better attendance. Among those present were Presidents Brigham Young and Daniel H. Wells, Apostles George A. Smith, Wilford Woodruff, George Q. Cannon and Brigham Young, Jr. George Q. Cannon presided at this meeting, and stated that the objects in assembling were to endeavor to arrive at an under- standing of the best system of teaching in Sunday School, and to organize a Sunday School Union. At this meeting it was proposed to call the organization about to be formed the "Parent Sunday School Union," the idea prevailing then that this organization would be but the first of such a character and that others would be established through- out the Territory after the pattern of this one. Apostle George Q. Cannon was elected president of the Union, Elder Edward L. Sloan, secretary, and Elders George Goddard and Robert L. Campbell corresponding secretaries. Apostles Brigham Young, Jr., Albert Carrington and George A. Smith were chosen as a committee to examine and decide upon books suitable for Sunday School libraries. During the meeting President Brigham Young in- structed those present on various points connected with the Sunday School movement and the cause of education in general. He spoke of the value his early Bible reading had been to him in his ministerial labors of after years, and of the benefit the Elders had ever derived from an extensive acquaintance with the Holy Scriptures. He was followed by Apostles George A. Smith and George Q. Cannon. The latter stated that Elder David 0. Calder had kindly volunteered to teach gratu- itously the tonic-sol-fa system of music to the Sunday School teachers as soon as a sufficient number would come forward to form a class. It was not until the year 1872 that this central organization, 16 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. afterwards recognized by the name of the "Deseret Sunday School Union," assumed a more compact and definite form. On the 12th of June of that year a meeting of Sunday School superintendents and teachers was held in Salt Lake City. At that meeting the desire for a more active organization was expressed, but in the absence of the president of the Union no action was taken further than to appoint a committee, composed of Elders George Goddard, John Morgan and John B. Maiben, to present the minutes of the meeting to Apostle George Q. Cannon, who had some five years previously been elected president of the Union, for his approval, to make known to him the feel- ings expressed at the meeting, and to invite his counsel and co-opera- tion in bringing about a more extended concert of action: to give greater impetus and solidity to the efforts of the Union. The commit- tee waited upon Elder George Q. Cannon, and he heartily endorsed the sentiments of the meeting. Another meeting was held on the 24th of June, at which it was decided to hold regular meetings of Sunday School workers on the first Monday in each month. These gatherings were first held in the old City Hall, corner of State and First South Streets, Salt Lake City, then in the Council House which formerly stood on the corner of Main and South Temple Streets; afterwards in the Fourteenth Ward assembly rooms, still later they were held in the Salt Lake Assembly Hall. They continued to grow in interest until they were among the most popular and most largely attended of any of the assemblies of the people of Zion. At these meetings Sunday School topics were discussed, suggestions as to the best method of conducting Sunday Schools were offered, and lectures on teaching, etc., were delivered. In 1884 these general monthly meetings were given in charge of the Sunday School authorities of the Salt Lake Stake of Zion and be- came a stake institution; and the general meetings of the Union were appointed to be held twice a year at the times of the general con- ferences of the Church. In reading the minutes of the regular meetings of the Union, it is exceedingly interesting to note that many of the same subjects that are still considered among the most important were then can- vassed with much vigor, and that the instructions given were to a very great extent the same as those that it is still found necessary JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 17 to inculcate. The subjects of punctuality, of the grading of the schools, of rewards, of the necessity of books and publications adapted to the use of the Sunday Schools of the 1 Saints, of a collection of hymns and songs composed by members of the Church, with suitable music, of keeping a register of attendance of members, of preserving records of schools, of furnishing statistical reports, of selecting suitable works for Sunday School libraries, of securing larger average attendance, and of the spiritual development of the pupils, arejfound among those which received attention in the early meetings of the Union. It is a source of gratification to know that the consideration of these questions at those meetings was not in vain. Through the efforts of the Union Board many of the urgent wants and necessities among Sunday School workers in past years are now supplied. Their labors have brought about a greater uniformity in the methods of conduct- ing Sunday Schools, and higher efficiency in class teaching. The suggestions and instructions they have given, their missionary labors among the schools of Zion, and the numerous publications issued, have greatly aided in bringing about this better condition. GROWTH OF THE UNION. The first statistical reports received from the Sunday Schools in Zion were in 1872. From them may be gained an idea of the extent and numerical strength of these organizations at that period. These schools were then all located within twenty counties of Utah and two counties in Idaho, namely: Beaver, Box Elder, Cache, Davis, Iron, Juab, Kane, Millard, Morgan, Piute, Rich, Salt Lake, Sanpete, Sevier, Summit, Tooele, Utah, Wasatch, Washington and Weber in Utah, and Bear Lake and Oneida in Idaho. From 20 of these counties reports were received. These reports showed that there were 190 schools then established. The total membership in them, exclusive of 41 that failed to report, was 14,781, counting officers, teachers and pupils. The annual report for 1899 27 years later gives the number of schools embraced within the Deseret Sunday School Union as 982, and shows a total enrollment of 119,998 members, which includes those abroad in mission fields. From this it will readily be seen that the growth of the Union as represented by the increase of Sunday Schools and Sunday School members, has been very rapid. 18 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. The spread of Sunday Schools into new territory during the same period has been no less remarkable. The reports of 1874 show that schools had been established in Uinta County, Wyoming, and Lin- coln County, Nevada, in addition to those in counties already named. Previous to the death of President Brigham Young, which oc- curred on the 29th of August, 1877, a more thorough organization of the wards and stakes of Zion was effected by the general authori- ties of the Church, and the Sunday School reports for 1876, and con- tinuously ever since, contain statistics for each stake, instead of for each county as previously given. The stakes represented in that year's report (1876) were: Bear Lake, Beaver, Box Elder, Cache, Davis, Juab, Kanab, Millard,Morgan, Panguitch, Parowan, Salt Lake, Sanpete, Sevier, St. George, Summit, Tooele, Utah, Wasatch and Weber. With- in these stakes was embraced practically all the territory of the counties already mentioned, and of course the reports from them included all Sunday Schools of the Saints within their boundaries as well as any other schools in places adjacent. As the Saints settled in new localities other stakes of Zion were formed and new Sunday Schools were established. During the next ten years Sunday Schools were reported in five new stakes in Arizona, namely: Little Colorado, Eastern Arizona, Maricopa, St. Joseph and Snowflake, also in Emery and San Juan stakes in Utah, Bannock and Cassia stakes in Idaho, and in San Luis stake in Colorado. Later on re- ports were received from schools in other stakes formed of settle- ments in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona, and Oregon. The enforcement of prescriptive congressional enactments against the Saints caused many of them to seek homes in places outside the confines of the United States. Some went to Mexico and others to Canada, and established colonies in each of those countries. There they made homes, were organized into wards and settlements and later into stakes of Zion. Sunday Schools were established in their midst and have become permanent institutions, as they are in other stakes. Of late years the mission Sunday Schools of the Latter-day Saints throughout the world have been brought within the fold of the Deseret Sunday School Union and have been privileged to receive of the bene- fits of its supervision and fostering care. JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 19 For detailed information concerning the numerical growth of the Union the reader is referred to the tables under the heading "Statistics," which appear later on; and for date of organization of the various Sunday Schools and other information concerning them he is referred to the history of individual schools in another part of this volume. The growth of the Union, greatly increased the business devolv- ing upon its officers, and made it necessary to open an office where its affairs might be attended to, and to which application might be made for information upon matters pertaining to Sunday School work, as well as for literature and such supplies as were furnished by the Union Board. For many years after its organization the Union was without a permanent place for holding the business meetings of its officers, and its publications were handled by various business houses. In January, 1891, rooms for the office and headquarters of the Deseret Sunday School Union were secured in the Constitution Building, Salt Lake City. In November, 1897, the office was removed to the Templeton Building, its present location. ATTAINMENTS OF THE UNION- To set forth in full all that has been accomplished by the Deseret Sunday School Union, under the blessings of the Lord, and through the untiring labors of its officers and those who have assisted them, will not be attempted here. Only the most important actions of its officers and the most prominent achievements of the Union will be noted in the following pages. FIRST PUBLIC CELEBRATION. Prominent among the early undertakings of the Union officers was that of getting up a grand Sunday School celebration. This musical festival or jubilee, as it was called, was held in the Large Tabernacle, Salt Lake City, on the 24th of July, 1874 the twenty- seventh anniversary of the entrance of the Pioneers into Salt Lake Valley. It was a most pleasing and meritorious celebration, and will be ever remembered by those who participated in it. The project originated with the officers of the Union more than a year before it took place, and elaborate and well-studied preparations were made to insure a complete success. 20 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. The importance of this jubilee demands more than passing notice, as its influence upon the Sunday School work and upon the musical interests of the community, has been far-reaching. It not only awakened renewed and more extended interest in the good work, but resulted in perceptibly advancing the cause in other respects. The songs and music rendered on the occasion were written by home poets and musicians, and the appearance of these songs in print and their public rendition encouraged others who had talent in that line to compose additional pieces for publication and use in the Sun- day Schools; thus much talent that was either latent or undeveloped was brought out and made serviceable. The rehearsing of the songs for the celebration added interest to the various schools that partici- pated, and served as an initiative step towards securing better musical exercises in many of them, and caused greater attention to be given to this important feature of all our religious gatherings. The in- terest thereby created in the subject of music, and the funds realized from the receipts of the great celebration enabled the Union officers to issue music books and other publications for which the Sunday Schools were in great need. The success of this celebration led the Sunday School authorities of other places to hold similar jubilees on a smaller scale; and for several successive years afterwards musical festivals were held in the Large Tabernacle in Salt Lake City. The Deseret News of July 25, 1874, contained the following account of this first grand Sunday School celebration : THE GREAT JUVENILE JUBILEE AX IMMENSE SUCCESS. The great Juvenile Jubilee, for which there had been so much previous preparation, and to which the anticipations of thousands had, for a con- siderable time, "forward pointed the view," came off yesterday at the New Tabernacle. For at least a couple of hours before the time announced for the com- mencement of the performances, the streets in the vicinity of the Temple Block appeared alive with people, mostly children of the various Sunday Schools, who flowed in from every direction, in order of procession under the guidance of their superintendents and teachers, and the gaiety of the scene was intensified by the music from bands in the vicinity. We have several times alluded to the decorations of the interior of the huge building the great center-piece suspended from the ceiling, JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 21 -the garlands, wreaths, festoons, mottoes, flags, banners, and a thousand other things too numerous to mention now. We may merely say that they exceeded in beauty, general excellence and appropriateness any of the kind that we have ever witnessed, and expressions of admiration concerning them were, as far as we are aware, universal. The representations emblemat- ical of the condition of these valleys in 1847, contrasted with that of 1874, were well conceived and arranged, the first consisting of an archway of sun- flowers and sagebrush embellished with a massive head of a buffalo, with a tableau vivante of Indians, and the other composed of evergreens, choice flowers and a tableau of cultivated people. The pictures spoke for them- selves. ****** * The Sunday School children of four counties, Salt Lake, Utah, Davis .and Weber, were there, and the aggregate number must have been some- where between 8,000 and 10,000, and therefore every foot of space had to be utilized; even the aisles were seated, so that the body of the building appeared one mass of human faces. The gallery was occupied as the auditorium, and, like every other part was crowded. On the stand, in front of the organ, were Presidents Brigham Young, George A. Smith and Daniel H. Wells, most of the Twelve Apostles, and a number of other leading Elders. In front, on a large platform, was Professor C. J. Thomas, the con- ductor of the Jubilee, and his orchestra, and immediately behind him were the adult and juvenile choirs, numbering between two and three hundred persons. Elder George Q. Cannon, general superintendent of the Sunday School Union, George Goddard, his assistant, J. B. Maiben, the secretary and the executive committee were also in that vicinity, 'directing and managing the arrangements. * * * * At twenty-five minutes to twelve the Ogden brass band played a selec- tion from "Tancredi," giving evidence of splendid training. * * The opening hymn "0 Lord, accept our Jubilee," was then sung by the assembled thousands of children, and as their mingled voices swelled with the rising notes, or fell to gentler cadences with the lower tones, the effect was complete, and if there be a soul who could witness such a scene and listen to sounds so heavenly unmoved, he must indeed be dead to the finer vibrations of feeling of the heart, incapable of appreciating the sources of more refined enjoyment. Prayer was offered by Elder Orson Pratt. The adult and juvenile choirs and the whole of the children through- out acquitted themselves splendidly, each piece in the program being 22 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. excellently sung, showing that those who had performed the labor of training them for the occasion had not been idle. The accompaniment on the grand organ by Brother Joseph J. Daynes, was as good as could be desired, as were also his solo performances on the same instrument. Sister E. F. Thomas sang with great sweetness, "Standard of Zion" and "Hark! Listen to the Music!" of the words of which latter she is the author. The performances of the orchestral band were really fine, and would have done credit on any occasion; in fact the great Jubilee was a great success even beyond anticipation. After the opening piece of the second part was sung, President Brig- ham Young delivered a short but most eloquent, impressive and instructive address, principally directed to the children, in which he contrasted their condition with that of their fathers and their mothers twenty-seven years ago, traced the providence of God as being over the Saijits, enabling them to attain their present desirable condition of comparative prosperity, and exhorted all to be true to the principles for which their parents had suffered and which some of whom had sustained at the sacrifice of everything earthly, their lives included. After the singing of another piece, President George A. Smith also spoke in the same encouraging and edifying manner; afterwards Elder George Q. Cannon, general superintendent of the Sunday School Union, also delivered a suitable address. The singing exercises concluded with, "Praise God from whom all ble ssings flow," etc., in which the whole assemblage, including spectators, joined, making the sound like the "rushing of many waters." The benediction was pronounced by President George A. Smith. Before the children left the Tabernacle about 10,000 buns were dis- tributed among them. It is estimated that there must have been about fourteen thousand people in the building, while many stood on the outside, around the entrances, unable to gain admittance. Everybody has been lavish in deserved praise of Brother C. J. Thomas, the able conductor of the Jubilee, who acquitted himself to the entire sat- isfaction of everybody concerned, and the performance of yesterday indi- cated how incessantly he must have labored to produce such gratifying results. The labors of the officers of the Deseret Sunday School Union and the executive committee of the Jubilee have also been indefatigable. The officers are George Q Cannon, general superintendent, George Goddard, assistant general superintendent, John B. Maiben, secretary and William McLachlan, treasurer. JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 23 The following are the names of the gentlemen and ladies composing the executive committee: George Goddard, J. B.

Williams; the artificial flowers under the direction of Sister Anne Cross; and the floral decoration department was managed by John Reading. The furniture was in care of H. Dinwoodey. The upholstering department was directed by Soren P. Neve; and all needed alterations, etc., were superintended by Henry Grow. Besides the aforementioned parties a large number of gentlemen and ladies were exceedingly active in their labors, giving most hearty assist- ance in the good work. The following were appointed a committee on subscriptions: Bishop Thomas Taylor, Lewis S. Hills, James P. Freeze, Theodore McKean, Bishop E. D. Woolley, Thomas Jennings and James T. Little. The grand Sunday School Jubilee is a memorable affair, and took place on the anniversary of a memorable day. * * Such affairs are calculated to give an impetus to the grand movement whose object is the proper culture and training of the rising generation, that they may develop and progress in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and there are blessings in store for all who labor diligently, devotedly and disinterestedly in a work of such magnitude and nobility. It may be here added that the songs sung upon this occasion were selected from poetical contributions sent to the Union in response to a call for such compositions as would be suited for the purpose. To Professors Charles J. Thomas, Ebenezer Beesley, and Jos. J. Daynes was assigned the work of composing music for the songs chosen. The names of those composing other committees appointed to assist in preparing for the Jubilee are: On decoration Samuel L. Evans, William Eddington, Henry Grow, Henry Maiben, George M.

From reports received from the schools, and through personal visits, the Union officers found that there was a lack of uniformity in the conducting of the different Sunday Schools. With a view to overcome this and to improve their general discipline a code of rules for the guidance of Sunday Schools was prepared and issued in printed form and furnished to each school in Zion. This important move by the Deseret Sunday School Union Board was made in the year 1876. As stated in the circular issued in con- nection with the rules, they were suggested to the Sunday Schools "with a view to secure uniformity in their government as far as practicable." The adoption of these rules and of other suggestions were urged upon the various Sunday Schools of Zion by circular letters, at general meetings of the Deseret Sunday School Union held at the time of the annual and semi-annual conferences of the Church and by personal visits of the Union officers. As a result of these efforts great improvement in discipline and efficiency has been wrought in all schools where attention has been paid to the sugges- tions and instructions given. A copy of these rules is here repro- duced, with such additions and alterations as have been subse- quently made. RULES FOR THE GUIDANCE OF SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 1. Every school should be as fully organized as possible. A complete organization consists of a superintendent, first and second assistant super- JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 25 intendents, secretary, librarian, treasurer, assistant secretary, assistant librarian and sufficient teachers. 2. The superintendent and his assistants should see that all rules adopted for the school be strictly observed by the whole school, not for- getting to set a good example. 3. The secretary should keep a teachers' roll; and also take minutes of each school session, and the following Sunday morning, after calling the teachers' roll, read them in a clear, audible voice, for the acceptance of the school by vote. These minutes should be recorded in a suitable book, called the "Sunday School Record of - - Ward." He should also be prepared, when required, to promptly make out a correct statistical report, which, after being examined and approved by the superintendent, should be sent to the stake superintendent, and a copy kept on file. The secretary and his or her assistant should be good penmen, and take pleasure in keeping the record and reports neat, clean and ready for reference. 4. The librarian should have charge of all the books, cards, etc., pre- serve them in as good order as possible, and keep a correct register of all books loaned and returned. 5. The treasurer should keep a careful account of all funds received and expended for the school, and only disburse the same on orders from the secretary, which he should preserve as vouchers, when his accounts are audited. 6. Assistant officers should qualify themselves, and be ready to prop- erly attend to the duties of their offices whenever needed. 7. The name and attendance of every pupil should be kept in a class register. 8. Officers, teachers and pupils should be punctual and regular in their attendance. 9. The school should be graded as far as practicable, and every pupil placed under a suitable teacher, 'and not allowed to change from one class to another without permission. 10. The school should be punctually opened by singing and prayer. 11. All male members of the school should strictly observe due respect on entering by uncovering the head, and on leaving, should keep the head uncovered until they reach the door. 12. No loud talking, or playing, or running in and out should be allowed during school hours. 13. Reading should be confined as much as possible to Church works, such as the Old and New Testaments, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Cove- nants, Catechism, Sunday School Union Readers, Cards, etc. 2 26 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 14. Children should be encouraged to learn portions of the Scriptures, Articles of Faith, Catechism, etc. 15. Reading exercises should be conducted with as little noise as pos- sible, by each scholar reading, and answering questions, so as not to be heard by other classes. 16. The smallest children, where suitable teachers can be obtained, should be taught orally, and, if possible, in a separate room. 17. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper should be administered in the school, according to special counsel of the First Presidency. 18. The exercises should be made varied and interesting, with singing, instrumental music, brief addresses, asking questions, recitations, etc. 19. Those who address the School should use simple, easy language, and be brief, interesting and impressive, and always speak loud enough for every child to hear what is said. 20. The entire school should be encouraged to join with the choir in the singing. 21. After the reading exercises are over, the books used by each class, should be kept together by a strap and buckle, with the number of the class marked on the strap. 22. Children should always leave the school in an orderly manner, and not be allowed to leave their places until after the benediction. 23. Quarterly reviews of the school should be held, in order that the parents may see the progress of their children. GEORGE Q. CANNON, General Supt., GEORGE GODDARD, Assistant Supt. THE SACRAMENT OF THE LORD'S SUPPER IN THE SUNDAY SCHOOL, In the year 1877, by direction of the First Presidency of the Church, a new feature of much importance was introduced into the services of the Sunday Schools of the Saints that of administering the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper to the children. The propriety of introducing such a practice had been sensed for some time by active school workers, and they were gratified when it was directed by the presiding Church authorities that the Sacrament should be administered in the Sunday Schools of Zion by the ward Bishops or under their supervision. All children under the age of eight years, and those over that age, who have been baptized into the Church, are privileged to partake of the Sacrament. The introduction of the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper into the Sunday School service has JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 27 resulted in good. The partaking of the sacred emblems, the instruc- tions given concerning their purport, together with the singing of suitable hymns during their administration, serve to give the children a better understanding of the divine mission of the Savior; and they are thereby constantly reminded of the necessity of reverencing His name and obeying His laws. ENCOURAGEMENT OF MUSICAL TALENT. What the Union has done to develop musical talent in the midst of the Saints may be regarded with pleasant satisfaction. Its officers have ever recognized the elevating influence of the divine art, and especially the value of good singing in the Sunday School and in places of worship generally. To encourage musical talent among the youth of Israel the Union has adopted various means. The holding of annual jubilees or musical festivals has already been mentioned. Con- gregational singing has been constantly advocated, and the neces- sity of good music in the Sunday School has been urged repeatedly. From time to time classes have been formed for the purpose of training children to sing, with the view of having those thus trained take the lead in the singing exercises of the schools to which they belonged. In August, 1875, the Deseret Sunday School Musical Union was organized as an auxiliary to the general Union, for the purpose of advancing the cause of music in the Sunday Schools. It was an organization of short duration, its members however voluntarily ten- dered their services toward helping the Sunday School cause. Among those belonging to the Musical Union and others of the musical profession who deserve mention for the valuable services rendered to the Deseret Sunday School Union are: David 0. Calder, Charles J. Thomas, Ebenezer Beesley, Adam C. Smyth, John S. Lewis, Thomas C. Griggs, George Careless, Thomas Mclntyre, Joseph J. Daynes, and Evan Stephens. The last named did much towards securing better singing in the Sunday Schools of the Salt Lake Stake by conducting singing classes composed of pupils selected from the schools of Salt Lake City and vicinity. Musicians in other Stakes and settlements have also lent their aid for a similar purpose in their respective localities, and it 28 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. is proper to recognize their efforts as being of great assistance in the advancement of music in our Sunday Schools. In 1881, through the suggestion and encouragement of the Union, a number of fife and drum bands were organized in connection with the Sunday Schools in various wards and settlements. Music for them was specially arranged and printed by the Union. At a later date the Deseret Sunday School Union Brass Band was organized. While none of these musical organizations have been perpet- uated they served to awaken interest in the divine art among the young people of the community, and were productive of good. In 1883 the Union offered several hundred dollars in prizes for original poems and musical compositions suitable for use in Sunday Schools. In response to this offer a collection of songs and anthems set to music were received. These songs with others already in hand, and which had been published on cards and in pamphlet form were compiled with some few additional selections into a book and pub- lished especially for the Sunday Schools of Zion. This work was one that was greatly needed, and the several large additions of it which have been issued are evidences of its usefulness and popularity. An idea of the extensive use made of this collection of songs may be gained from the fact that since January, 1884, 35,000 copies of the songs set to music and 60,000 copies of the songs without the music have been issued. MISSIONARY WORK. The entire labors of the Union officers might be regarded as missionary work. Since the organization of the Union its officers have served without monetary compensation. They have accepted their calling as a mission and carefully performed their many arduous duties as a labor of love. But the missionary work now especially referred to is that performed among the Sunday Schools of Zion under the direction of the Union Board. From the early years of the existence of the Union its officers have been diligent in visiting the Sunday Schools for the purpose of rendering them assistance by sug- gestions, counsel and encouragement. In order that none of the schools in the settlements of the Saints might be neglected, the brethren of the Sunday School Union Board have at times taken JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 29 extended trips to distant parts of the country solely for the purpose of meeting with and assisting the schools in those places. In the latter part of 1878, Elders Samuel L. Evans, William Willes, Frederick A. Mitchell, Stephen R. Marks, John C. Cutler and Levi W. Richards were appointed, with the approval of the general Church authorities, as missionaries, to assist the Union officers in visiting among the Sunday Schools. The first two brethren named were appointed as missionaries at large, and the others were assigned to labor in the Salt Lake Stake of Zion. In May, 1881, John Alford was appointed to succeed Elder Mitchell as a Sunday School missionary, the latter having been called to be a Sun- day School superintendent. On September 19, 1890, Elder William Willes, owing to declining health was honorably released from his position as a Sunday School Union missionary. Elder Willes had been a diligent Sunday School worker for years previous to receiving his call as a missionary in the cause. The others called at the same time as missionaries under the direction of the Union Board, with the exception of those who were members of the board, had previously been assigned to labor under the direction of the Sunday School superintendency of the Salt Lake Stake, in which stake, it will be remembered, they were originally called to labor. In January, 1892, forty-one missionaries were called from differ- ent stakes to labor for a short period under the direction of the Union Board. They were sent to the several stakes of Zion, with instructions to continue their labors until they had visited every ward in the stake assigned them. They were to hold meetings, in the interest of Sunday School work, to encourage those engaged in the work, and seek to arouse renewed interest in the cause generally. Later that same year in August a number of special Sunday School missionaries were called to a similar work. Their names were: N. T. Porter, of Centerville, Davis Stake; S. S. Jones, and James Hardy of Provo, Utah Stake; William Paxman of Nephi, Juab Stake; William H. Wright, of Ogden, and Charles Wright, of Plain City, Weber Stake. Again that same year seventy-two more mission- aries were called to the same work. 30 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. In connection with the Brigham Young Academy at Provo, a Sunday School normal training class was organized in November, 1892. It was taught by the faculty of that institution under the direction of the Deseret Sunday School Union Board. The Board also contrib- uted means for carrying on the work. In January, 1893, one hundred Sunday School workers, from Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, Juab and other Stakes, were called to attend this class, for the purpose of receiving the training there given, and thus qualify themselves for more efficient service in the schools from which they were called. In the latter part of the same year forty-eight more Sunday School workers were called to take a course of the same character in the same institution, for a similar object. The call of the brethren and sisters to this work was made with the sanction and approval of the Church authori- ties, and was regarded by them in the same light as a call to perform missionary work abroad, and those who responded received due acknowledgement as having performed regular missionary labor. Another effective plan adopted by the Union Board to raise the standard of efficiency of Sunday School workers was the establishment of model Sunday Schools. On November 4, 1894, a model school was organized in Salt Lake City, under the direction of Prof. Willard Done, and one under the direction of Prof. Benjamin Cluff, Jr., at Provo; a few weeks later one was established at Ogden, under the direction of Prof. L. F. Moench. The prominent educators who con- ducted these schools gratuitously contributed their services, and labored under appointment of the Union Board. These Model Sun- day Schools were held each Sabbath morning for a term of weeks during the winter season. Sunday School workers from the schools of the respective stakes in which these model schools were held were called to attend them, and received practical instruction in the art of conducting a Sunday School in all its branches. INAUGURATION OF "NICKEL DAY." The desire of its officers has ever been that the Union should not become a burden upon the people nor the Church, and with this desire in view they have sought to meet all expenses, incurred in its main- tenance by calling upon them as little as possible for assistance. For many years the only means the Union had with which to JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 31 carry on its work were derived from the proceeds of jubilees, concerts, excursions, etc., and from the sale of its publications. Previous to the year 1891 only two general calls upon the Sunday Schools for assistance were made by the Union, one was for funds with which to publish a catechism for use among the native Saints of the Hawaiian Islands. The idea of giving the members of all the Sunday Schools throughout Zion the privilege of contributing five cents annually towards the support of the Union was first suggested in July, 1891. Later in the same year it was decided to assign the first Sunday in September* as "Nickel Day" in all the Sunday Schools of the Church, and to invite the members to make a voluntary contribution of five cents, or more, for the benefit of the Union and the stake Sunday School organizations the latter to receive twenty per cent, of the amount collected in the schools of their respective stakes for their general expenses. Accordingly circulars explaining this propo- sition were sent to all the schools of the Union. The plan met with general approval, and "Nickel Day," has become an established insti- tution throughout the Sunday Schools of the stakes of Zion and the United States missions. The same day is likewise assigned for receiv- ing contributions of relative value in the Latter-day Saints Sunday Schools in foreign countries. This annual collection has been a source of revenue which is of much assistance to the Union, and at the same time it is not burdensome to the schools. Considerable of the fund collected is used for procuring books, charts, etc., for gratuitous distribution among the schools of Zion and in the Latter-day Saints missions abroad, so that what the pupils con- tribute to the Union is largely returned to them in publications for their use and benefit. SUNDAY SCHOOL CHILDREN AT THE SALT LAKE TEMPLE. A very pleasing event worthy of record in connection with Sun- day School work, is that of the visit of the Sunday School children to the Salt Lake Temple during the period of its dedicatory services. As it fell to the lot of the Union Board under the direction of the *The date was afterwards changed to the last Sunday in October. 32 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. Church authorities to make all necessary arrangements for it, this visit may very properly be mentioned in connection with the labors of that body. Friday and Saturday, April 21st and 22nd, 1893, were assigned by the Presidency of the Church for the Sunday School children to visit the Temple, and participate in suitable services to be held therein. An invitation to attend these services was extended to all children under the age of sixteen years who were enrolled in the Sunday Schools of the Saints. Reduced rates on the railways were secured for the occasion, and a large number of children from the settle- ments adjacent to Salt Lake City and from other places on the rail- way lines came to visit the Temple on the dates named. Five meetings were held with the children in the Temple, and it was esti- mated that there were thirteen thousand of them entered the build- ing during the two days. The children were first permitted to pass through the various apartments of the sacred edifice from the base- ment to the upper floor. Here, in the assembly room, services were held, consisting of congregational singing, prayer, and rendering the "Hosanna" shout. The First Presidency, the Apostles and the Superintendency of the Deseret Sunday School Union were introduced to the children and spoke to them upon appropriate topics. The ser- vices were closed with singing and prayer. The youthful visitors were very orderly and attentive while in the Temple; and no doubt were favorably and lastingly impressed with what they saw and heard. STAKE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONFERENCES. The proposition to hold Sunday School Conferences annually in each Stake of Zion first received consideration by the Union Board in June, 1893. The Presidency of the Church expressed their approval of the idea and directed that the practice be adopted. The first of these Sunday School Conferences was held in the Sevier Stake of Zion, November 4th and 5th, 1893. It was attended by Elders George Goddard and Thomas C. Griggs, as representatives of the Deseret Sunday School Union Board. Since then these confer- ences have been continued and have become an established institution connected with the Sunday School work. Almost invariably they are JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 33 attended by members of the Union Board, one object in holding them being to afford the general officers an opportunity to learn of the condition and progress of the various schools in the several stakes of Zion. In these meetings reports are made by the officers of the respec- tive schools within the stake; exhibitions of the methods of conducting class exercises are presented ; questions regarding Sunday School matters are explained; and remarks of encouragement and instruc- tion are given. HUMANE DAY. At a meeting of the Deseret Sunday School Union Board held January 7, 1897, it was decided to recommend that the last Sunday in February each year be observed as "Humane Day," in all the Sunday Schools of the Saints. An explanation of this feature, and the object sought by its introduction, are set forth by General Super- intendent George Q. Cannon in the Juvenile Instructor of January 15, 1897, as follows: The Deseret Sunday School Union Board have discussed the propriety of doing something in the direction of impressing the children with lessons concerning the proper treatment of animals, and have appointed Sunday, February 28, as Humane Day. In appointing this as Humane Day it is the design to have the usual services and lessons taken up on that day in the Sunday School, in their regular order; but that in addition to these,, addresses be given by persons selected for the purpose, which will set forth in as forcible a manner as possible the propriety of being kind and consid- erate to the animal creation, especially those domestic animals with which children are most closely brought in contact. The object of these addresses will be to teach the children kindness, mercy, forbearance and love toward all the living, creations of God. SPECIAL SUNDAY SCHOOLS ESTABLISHED BY THE UNION. While seeking to promote the spiritual welfare of the youth of Zion generally, the Union officers have not been unmindful of the needs of the less favored classes in the community. It was observed that in the School for Deaf- Mutes, conducted in connection with the Deseret University, there were a number of children of Latter-day Saints who might be benefitted by receiving 34 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. religious instruction such as is imparted in the Sunday Schools of the Church. In April, 1891, Elder Thomas C. Griggs of the Union Board, was appointed to make some investigations regarding the practica- bility of organizing a Sunday School with such members of the Deaf- Mute School as were willing to attend. Owing to the lateness of the season the time for closing the day school for the summer being near at hand the investigation was postponed for a time. The next season, when the School for Deaf-Mutes opened, the consent of the board of regents of the University and of the parents of the children were obtained, and a Sunday School was organized January 10, 1892, with a membership of eleven boys and sixteen girls. The first place of meeting was in the Nineteenth Ward Relief Society building. The school was afterwards moved to the Latter-day Saints' College building, on First North Street, Salt Lake City. Elder Charles H. Barrell was appointed superintendent and Elder Laron Pratt assist- ant. The Sunday School was conducted by these officers during the school term each year until the Deaf-Mute Institute was removed to Ogden. In October, 1896, the school was started again in the school for the Deaf-Mutes and the Blind at that place. Elder Edwin A. Stratford was ^appointed superintendent and Elder Pratt continued as an assistant. During this same month October, 1896 members of the Union Board, with the consent of the board of trustees of the now newly- named Utah State School for the Deaf- Mutes and the Blind, organized a class for the blind in connection with the Deaf-Mute Sunday School. This class met with the deaf-mutes. In 1888, while serving a term of imprisonment for conscience sake lin the Utah penitentiary, General Superintendent George Q. Cannon found opportunity to establish a Sunday School there, which he did by permission of the warden. While he remained there he took charge of the organization. The Union Board presented this school with an organ to aid in its musical exercises. Other special Sunday Schools that have been established in the community are those organized for the education of the Lamanites, or Indians. One such school is situated in the Indian town of Wa- shakie, in the Oneida Stake, and one in Indianola, Sanpete Stake, men- JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 35 tion of which will be found in the history of individual schools in another part of this volume. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION. Of recent years one of the most important moves upon the part of the Union Board was that of holding a convention of the Sunday School workers of Zion. At the Deseret Sunday School Union semi-annual conference held October 9, 1898, it was proposed that such a gathering be called for the purpose of 'Infusing new life into every department of our Sun- day Schools." The suggestion of such a project is evidence of the solicitude and vigilance of the Union Board in applying every avail- able means for the further advancement of the great work under their supervision. The labor of preparing for the proposed conven- tion was at once energetically prosecuted, and in anticipation of the coming important event much enthusiasm was aroused within^the ranks of Sunday School workers. Committees were appointed to make all necessary preparations for the convention; the delegates chosen from the various stakes were cordially received on their arrival; and during their sojourn in Salt Lake City, where the convention was held, they were comfortably provided for, and everything necessary was done to make their visit pleasant as well as profitable. On the Sunday just previous to the day of opening the convention the visiting delegates were escorted by local Sunday School workers to the various Sunday Schools of Salt Lake City and vicinity, where they had the privilege of witnessing the morning's exercises; and in the evening they were given the opportunity of addressing the meetings of the Saints in those wards upon Sunday School topics. This convention the first of the kind in the history of the Latter- day Saints was held in the Assembly Hall on November 28 and 29, 1898, General Superintendent George Q. Cannon presiding. Three sessions were held each day. Every Stake of Zion was represented at these meetings by a delegation of Sunday School workers. An idea of the nature of the exercises of the convention may be gained from the program carried out, which was as follows: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1898 MORNING SESSION. 9:30.

The published works of the Union have been without question one of its most potent means for advancing the Sunday School cause. The number of valuable works prepared and issued under the super- vision of the Union Board have proven to be of great assistance to Sunday School workers. The publications issued by the Union, aside from roll books, class registers, report blanks, etc., are herewith named: "Original Songs and Music," containing the songs set to music which were rendered at the grand celebration of July 24, 1874. It appeared in pamphlet form, and three editions were printed, aggregating 10,500 copies. Music cards, each containing two songs set to music, were issued periodically, commencing in March, 1877, numbered from one to twenty- four. Five thousand copies of each were printed as a first edition, and some were republished making a total of over 120,000. "First Book for our Little Friends," was first issued in June, 1879. It was published to supply the children of the Latter-day Saints with desir- able and appropriate reading, and to supply a much-needed text book for Sunday School pupils not far enough advanced to read and study the Holy Scriptures. Four editions of the book have been printed, aggregating 20,000 copies. "Second Book for our Little Friends," was prepared for readers a little in advance of those using the First Book. It was first issued in April, 1880. Two editions were published in all 12,000 copies. "Joseph the Prophet," containing questions and answers on the life and mission of Joseph Smith, was first published in June, 1882. An edition of 6,000 copies was printed. "Ke Alakai" is a translation of Jaques' "Catechism for Children," pub- lished in the Hawaiian language. It was issued especially for the benefit of the children of the Latter-day Saints who are natives of the Hawaiian Islands. An edition of 2,000 copies was printed. "Deseret Sunday School Union Music Book." This work was issued to JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 41 supply an urgent demand for a collection of songs set to music suitable for use in Sunday Schools. The music cards previously issued were somewhat of an experiment, but they served to awaken a desire for a more extended collection. The Music Book contained one hundred pages and eighty-eight songs. It first appeared in January, 1884. Four editions were printed, aggregating 20,000 copies. "Deseret Sunday School Song Book," is an enlarged edition of the Music Book described above, and was first issued in 1891. It contains most of the songs that appeared on the Music Cards and in the Music Book, as well as quite a number of additional pieces, making a work of 200 pages. Three editions of this book in its enlarged form have been printed, making a total of 15,000 copies. " Childrens' Sunday School Hymn Book " contains the words of the songs in the Deseret Sunday School Music Book, those on the Music Cards, and those in the Jubilee Song Book. The first edition was published in 1888. Three more editions in a revised form have been published. In all 60,000 copies have been printed. ''Guide for the Officers and Teachers of Sunday Schools." The purpose of this work is made clear by the title. It contains suggestions in regard to grading the Sunday School, what subjects should be taught in each grade, the text books and books of reference to be used, conditions of pro- motion, etc. It is a pamphlet of twenty-four pages, printed in 1892. An edition of 3,000 copies was issued. "Sunday School Work." A report of a series of lectures on the above subject delivered by Professor Karl G. Maeser, in the Salt Lake Assembly Hall, June 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 1892. An edition of 5,000 copies was printed. "Sunday School Treatise." This work is of the same character as the Sunday School Guide, previously issued, though more comprehensive, and takes the place of that little work. It treats fully upon all subjects connected with Sunday School discipline. The first edition was published in 1896. Two editions have been printed aggregating 10,000 copies. "Deseret Sunday School Union Leaflets" contain prepared Scriptural and historical lessons arranged in successive order and adapted for Sunday School class work. They are issued in sheet form, each leaflet containing one lesson. One hundred and seventy-two numbers have been issued since June, 1889 the date of the first publication. Over two and a half mill- ions of copies have already been printed, and the publication of them is being continued. "Book of Mormon Chart," Part I, contains twelve large lithographed 3 42 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. pictures in colors, illustrative of the Book of Mormon narrative. These charts were prepared at considerable labor and expense, costing over $2,000 for the work. To procure designs for the pictures, prizes to the amount of $240 were offered to competing artists and awarded to those whose pro- ductions were accepted. The chart was published in 1892, and 1,000 copies were printed. "Book of Mormon Chart," Part II, is similar in size and style to Part I, and is a continuation of the same narrative. It was issued in 1897, 1000 copies being printed. "Book of Mormon Chart Cards," Parts I and II, contain miniature copies of the pictures on the charts, together with explanations of the scenes represented. Of these cards 20,000 sets of Part I and the same number of Part II were printed. "Bible Charts." In order to obtain suitable charts illustrative of Bible scenes, selections were made from pictures issued by eastern publishers. To bring them more in conformity with the ideas of the Latter- day Saints and make them better adapted for Sunday School use, the Gen- eral Board had these charts altered both in subject and text. The first set of Bible Charts was published in 1895. An edition of 500 copies was issued. Four new sets of Bible pictures have since been prepared and sim- ilar editions published. In connection with them, Bible Chart Instructors, especially prepared under the direction of the Union Board, have also been issued. "Proceedings of the First Sunday School Convention of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." This pamphlet contains a full verbatim report of that assembly. It was published in the early part of 1899, an edition of 6,000 copies being printed. Besides the works named above a large number of catechism cards and cards containing the Articles of Faith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, have been published by the Union, and have received a wide circulation. The Juvenile Instructor. Although this magazine is not published by the Union, it has since the beginning been issued in the interest of Sun- day School work, and the education and elevation of the youth generally, and is recognized as the official organ of the Deseret Sunday School Union. Besides serving as a medium for conveying the instructions and sug- gestions of the Union officers to the Sunday Schools, the Juvenile Instructor has been of much assistance to teachers and pupils, containing as it does wholesome literature for the youth of Zion, as well as numerous helps to Sunday School workers in the way of catechisms suited to different grades JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 43 of pupils, and other prepared lessons and supplementary readings adapted to class use. SUNDAY SCHOOL STATISTICS- No general attempt was made to collect statistical information concerning the Sunday Schools of the Latter-day Saints until the year 1872. Since that time efforts have been made each year to secure full and correct reports from all schools embraced in the Deseret Sunday School Union. Roll books for keeping the names of Sunday School members and a record of their attendance have been published, and blank forms for statistical reports have been forwarded annually to each school for the purpose of procuring such informa- tion as was considered of importance and interest. The blank forms used at first merely called for a report of statistical information regarding the number of officers, teachers and pupils enrolled, the number of classes, the number of books in library, the funds received and disbursed, and the character of prizes awarded to pupils. In later years more elaborate blank forms were prepared, and when properly filled up they not only give a statistical report of a school, but furnish historical information respecting it, and a statement of its general condition. These reports have enabled the general officers of the Union to observe the condition, note the progress, and learn of the needs of the schools. The following tables of statistics will serve to indicate the extent of the Sunday School work in 1872, and its present magnitude. The summary which appears on page 48 will also show its numerical growth each year from 1872 to 1899. Owing to the fact that many of the schools were unprepared at the time to furnish statistical information, the report of September 15, 1872, is incomplete in some of its details. 44 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS.

Cannon was chosen as its president. He has stood at the head of the organization ever since that time, though subsequently recognized by the title of general superintend- ent instead of president. At the same time, Elder Edward L. Sloan was chosen as secretary; Elders George Goddard and Robert L. Campbell, recording secretaries; Apostles Brigham Young, Jr., Albert Carrington and George A. Smith, committee on books for Sunday Schools. In 1872 a change of some of the officers was made.

Goddard was chosen as an assistant to General Superintendent George Q. Cannon; John B. Maiben was chosen general secretary and William McLachlan general treasurer. Elder Goddard held the office of first assistant general superintendent until his death, January 12, 1899. In August, 1875, Elder Maiben, having been called to be bishop at Manti, Sanpete County, was honorably released from the office of general secretary and Elder McLachlan was appointed his successor. He acted as secretary and treasurer for a few months, when he was called on a mission to New Zealand. The vacancies thus caused were filled by the appointment, in December, 1875, of Elder Levi W. Rich- ards as general secretary, and of Elder George Reynolds, in Febru- ary, 1876, as general treasurer of the Union. Elder Reynolds had previously been acting as auditor and treasurer pro tern. At the time of Elder Richards' appointment as secretary, Elder Thomas Champneys was appointed assistant secretary ; and after the removal of the latter to Ogden John C. Cutler was assigned to that position as well as to that of assistant treasurer. On the 18th of September, 1878, a standing committee on finance and one on publication were appointed to labor in connection with and under the direction of the general superintendency. Those composing the finance committee were Elders John C. Cutler, Samuel L. Evans and George H. Taylor. The publication committee was composed of Elders George Reynolds, Thomas C. Griggs, Levi W. Richards, Louisa Lula Greene Richards and George C. Lambert. Upon the decease of Elder Evans of the finance committee, in May, 1881, Thomas E. Taylor was appointed to succeed him, and upon the departure of Elder Lambert on a mission to Europe, in November* 1882, Abraham H. Cannon succeeded him as a member of the publi- cation committee. Elder Cannon died, July 19, 1896. In June, 1883, the organization of the general superintendency of the Union was made complete by the appointment of Elder John Morgan as second assistant to Superintendent George Q. Cannon. In January, 1887, Elders Karl G. Maeser, Joseph W. Summerhays and Charles F.Wilcox were called to the assistance of the Union officers. In April, 1887, Elder George H. Taylor was honorably released from his position as a member of the finance committee on account of other public duties. JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 51 In April, 1889, the Executive Board of the Deseret Sunday School Union was formed, consisting of the general officers and such of the standing committees as were in a position to continue their labors with the Union. Previous to that time the executive power rested with the general officers alone, but owing to the increase of labors demanded of them by reason of the growth of the work, and the frequent absence of the general superintendent on account of his many other duties, this strengthening of the Executive Board was considered .advisable. The names of those composing the Board at this time were: George Q. Cannon, George Goddard, John Morgan, George Reynolds, Levi W. Richards, John C. Cutler, Thomas C. Griggs, Abraham H. Cannon, and Joseph W. Summerhays. At the close of the year 1890, Elder Levi W. Richards, owing to other public duties requiring his attention, and the increase labors devolving upon the secretary of the Union, was honorably released from the secretaryship. For more than fifteen years he had faithfully and efficiently performed the duties of this office. Elder John M. Whittaker was appointed to succeed him as secretary. In December, 1890, Elder John C. Cutler was called upon a mission to Europe, and was released from acting as a member of the Board and assistant secretary. On April 5, 1891, Apostles F. M. Lyman and Heber J. Grant were sustained as members of the General Board; and November 30, 1892, Elder John C. Cutler, upon his return from a mission, was again added to that body. The latter was released October 3, 1897, having been chosen as counselor to the bishop of the 4th ward, Salt Lake City. After the death of Elder John Morgan, which occurred July 14, 1894, Elder Karl G. Maeser was chosen as his successor in the superintendency. Elder Joseph M. Tanner was chosen as a member of the General Board August 15, 1895; and December 29, 1896, Apostle George Teasdale and Elder Hugh J. Cannon were called to act in the same capacity. In 1897, Elder Whittaker, was called upon a mission to the Eastern States, and December 1 of that year Elder George D. Pyper succeeded him as general secretary. On November 15 of this same year Elder Leo Hunsaker was appointed assistant secretary. 52 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. Other members of the General Board of the Union are: Elder Andrew Kimball, chosen and sustained at the general Sunday School conference held October 3, 1897; President Joseph F. Smith, chosen and sustained at the general Sunday School conference held April 10, 1898; and Apostle John W. Taylor, chosen and sustained at the gen- eral Sunday School conference held April 9, 1899. The following named Elders were chosen, on the dates given, as aids to the General Board: L. John Nuttall, James W. Ure, October 3, 1897; John F. Bennett, John M. Mills, William B. Dougall, W. D. Owen, December 2, 1897; Seymour B. Young, Christian D. Fjeldsted, January 13, 1898. The death of Elder George Goddard, January 12, 1899, left the position of first assistant general superintendent vacant. The officers of the Union December 31, 1899, were: GENERAL SUPERINTENDENCY.

Fjeldsted In reflecting upon the Sunday School work of the Latter-day Saints, one cannot fail to be deeply impressed with the extraordinary JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 53 magnitude to which it has grown. From its humble and obscure beginning it has spread forth upon all sides with accelerating speed, and developed in excellence and usefulness until it has enlisted the interest and awakened the admiration and pride of the Saints every- where, and is recognized by all as a mighty power for good in the land, as well as a constant source of strength and support to the Church. That the Deseret Sunday School Union has, by the blessings of the Lord, aided very materially in bringing about this desirable con- dition will not be denied; and what it has accomplished for the pro- gress of the Sunday School work may be regarded with satisfaction and gratitude. The growth of the Sunday School movement and the principal projects inaugurated by the officers of the Union for its continued development and advancement have been dwelt upon in preceding pages. It is fitting, before concluding this sketch of the general Sunday School work to acknowledge the valuable services of those who have been prominently connected with it. Too much cannot be said in commendation of the self-sacrificing devotion to the cause which these noble workers have manifested by freely contributing their time, energies and talents towards its promotion. Among those whose efforts were exerted at an early day to establish a union of the Sunday Schools of Zion, and to promote the Sunday School cause generally, Apostle George Q. Cannon was, and has ever since been, one of the leading spirits. During the winter of 1864, at a time when the few earlier schools had mostly discontinued, he established a school in the 14th Ward, Salt Lake City. A short time later in January, 1866 he started the publica- tion of the Juvenile Instructor, which he designed as an educator of the youth; and through its columes he has done much to further the Sunday School movement among the Saints by the useful instruc- tions, lessons and other helps to Sunday School workers which this periodical contains. His executive ability, his wise counsel and suggestions, together with the influence of his position in the Church, have also been a most valuable aid to the cause. Not- withstanding his many other public labors, Elder Cannon has ever found time to give attention to the duties of his office as general 54 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. superintendent of the Deseret Sunday School Union a position he has ably filled since its first organization. Elder George Goddard was connected with the Union from the beginning until his death first as corresponding secretary and later as first assistant general superintendent. The latter appointment he received in 1872. Elder Goddard was an indefatigable worker in the Sunday School cause, and was remarkably fitted for the position he held. His marked individuality and earnestness of character were such that they impressed themselves for good upon those about him. For many years he devoted nearly the whole of his time and energies to the duties of his calling as an officer of the Union. He traveled extensively in its interests, continuing his visits to schools of the various stakes until within a few weeks of the time of his death. He became known throughout every stake of Zion, and wher- ever he went he won the hearts of both young and old by his attract- ive manner and loving disposition. The name of Brother Goddard and the history of the Sunday School work in Zion are inseparably connected, and will ever remain so in the hearts and memories of the present generations of the Saints. Elder John Morgan, who was chosen as Second Assistant General Superintendent of the Union in June, 1883, had been prominently identified with the interests of the Sunday School Union from the earliest years of its existence, though his long service in the mission field abroad kept him away from the body of the Church during the greater part of the time for a period of some fourteen years. Elder Morgan was an experienced educator, possessed of abundant energy and exceptional executive ability; and by his pleasant, discreet man- ner and humble spirit he was enabled to wield an influence for good wherever his lot was cast. His labors for the advancement of the Sunday Schools of the Saints were ever earnest and untiring, and of a highly practical nature. After the death of Elder Morgan, Elder Karl G. Maeser was chosen as Second Assistant General Superintendent of the Union. He still holds this position, for which he is eminently qualified by edu- cation, ability, and experience. His long connection with the Brigham Young Academy, at Provo, as its principal, and his labors as general superintendent of Church schools, had already made him well known JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 55 throughout the Church, and had endeared him to those of the youth of Zion who were so favored as to have attended the places of learn- ing under his care and to have made his acquaintance. His new position did not take him into a new field, for he had been laboring for the promotion of the Sunday School movement all the time while connected with the other institutions; and his call to the superin- tendency only enlarged that same field of usefulness. Elder Maeser has traveled much throughout the stakes of Zion, and his wise, prac- tical instructions to Sunday School workers have been of great value to the Sunday School cause. Much of the detail work of the Union Board has necessarily been done by committees. On the standing committee on publication has fallen the heaviest load. The preparation of nearly all the books, charts, leaflets, cards and other works issued by the Board has devolved upon this committee. Its present chairman, Elder George Reynolds, who is also the treasurer of the Union and, with the excep- tion of the general superintendent, the senior member of the Board, has held this position from the time the committee was first appointed. No one has worked more zealously than he for the interests of the schools. The Sunday School Leaflets have been largely written by Elder James E. Talmage, George Reynolds, Willard Done and Sister Bertha Irvine, while a number of other brethren have assisted by occasional contributions. The musical publications have been gen- erally supervised by Elder Thomas C. Griggs, though assistance has often been generously given in the preparation and publication of musical and other works by brethren and sisters who are not members of the Board, but whose names appear in connection with their musi- cal and poetical contributions. The services of Elder Joseph W. Summerhays are equally deserving of mention. For many years Elder Summerhays has been identified with the General Board, and, in addi- tion to many other labors in the line of committee work, he has for years past attended mainly to the Union's business transactions with eastern publishing houses from which charts and other supplies have been obtained. The finance committee, in early years, had considerable business to attend to, but since the inauguration of the yearly nickel fund collection its labors have been reduced to a minimum. 56 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. What has been said respecting the faithfulness and diligence of the officers of the Union already mentioned will also apply to all the members of the General Board and their aids, as well as to hundreds of Sunday School workers whose labors though of a local character, are of equal necessity and great importance. While reference is made to the labors of present officers of the Union, the services of those who have been connected with it in the past should not be and are not forgotten nor overlooked. Especially deserving of praise are those who, in the early history of the move- ment, struggled with many difficulties and amid discouraging sur- roundings. Many of these early workers have passed away, while others have been called to other positions. To name all the veteran Sunday School workers both local and general would be impracticable at this time (the names of many of them will be found elsewhere in the history of the stake and ward Sunday School organizations) ; but it is considered proper to mention those who were in past years directly connected with the general officers of the Union. Among these are Elders John B. Maiben and William McLachlan, 1 chosen as Secretary and Treasurer respectively at the reorganization of the Union in 1872- Although called shortly afterwards to other duties, they nevertheless labored efficiently and interestedly while holding the positions to which they were assigned, and both have continued as Sunday School workers ever since, though in other positions. Elders Samuel L. Evans and William Willes, who, in the year 1878, were called as Sunday School Union missionaries at large, were both zealous work- ers in the cause, and continued so till within a short time of their death. Elder Evans was also for a number of years an active mem- ber of the Union's standing committee on finance. Others who have been associated with the general officers of the Union in the past are Elder George H. Taylor, a member of the standing committee on finance; Elder George C. Lambert and Sister Louisa L. G. Richards, who were for years members of the standing committee on publica- tion; Elder John C. Cutler and Abraham H. Cannon, also members of this committee and later members of the General Board. Elder Cutler was also Assistant Secretary and Assistant Treasurer of the Union for a number of years. Sister Richards was the only lady member of the standing committee of the Union. While holding ^^^^ 4 L ^y 10 ii '^^^^^ /7 MEMBERS OP THE FIRST SUNDAY S3HOOL, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, DECEMBER 9, 1849. JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 57 this position she rendered much valuable assistance in preparing for publication some of the books and other works issued by the Union. It is just and proper in this connection to acknowledge the active support the Sunday School Union, and the individual schools of which it is composed, have always received from the presiding authorities in the Church, both general and local. While the Sunday Schools are conducted as independent organizations, they are all under the direction and control of those who preside in the Priest- hood. And while presiding authorities may not in all cases be directly engaged in the Sunday Schools, they are entitled to a share of the credit for the success that has attended the institutions, through the support they have given them, and the general direction and over- sight they exercise over these as well as all other Church organiza- tions under their jurisdiction. The First Presidency and other leading authorities of the Church have ever taken a deep interest in the Sunday Schools and have aided them by their influence, counsel and encourage- ment, as well as in all other ways within their power. The same may be said of stake and ward authorities generally throughout Zion; and in the Latter-day Saint missions abroad the mission presidents, the conference presidents and the traveling elders have given their influence and support to the Sunday Schools established among the scattered Saints, recognizing them as valuable institutions to aid in the spread of the Gospel. 58 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. STAKE AND WARD SUNDAY SCHOOL ORGANIZATIONS. HOW CONSTITUTED AND CONDUCTED. All the Sunday Schools of the Latter-day Saints are included in the organization known as the Deseret Sunday School Union, and the general supervision and management of the affairs of the Union are vested in its General Board. The Sunday Schools in each of the stakes of Zion are under the immediate supervision of the stake Sunday School organization com- posed of a superintendent, first and second assistant superintendents > secretary and treasurer. In many stakes there are missionary aids who visit the Sunday Schools and labor under the direction of the stake superintendency, to whom they report their labors. Each Sunday School, when fully organized, has a superintendent, first and second assistant superintendents, secretary, treasurer, librar- ian, chorister, organist and such assistant officers; as may be needed. The school is graded into departments, namely: kindergarten, or infant, composed of the youngest members of the school ; the primary grade, as a general rule, includes the children who have advanced from the kindergarten up to the age of eight years; the first intermediate includes children from eight to twelve years; the second intermediate, from twelve to sixteen years; preparatory theological, pupils advanced beyond the grades mentioned; and the higher theological, all pupils not embraced in other departments. But the natural ability and the advancement of the pupils are considered when a school is graded. In some schools normal classes are conducted for the training of pupils for teachers. Each department usually has several teachers, one of whom is appointed to take the lead in the department. The hour for opening Sunday School is ten o'clock, a. m. The order adopted for the devotional exercises is as follows: Roll call of officers and teachers; singing by the whole school; prayer; singing by the school; reading of minutes of previous session; admin- JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 59 istration of Sacrament of the Lord's Sapper, under direction of the bishopric of the ward or presiding elder of the branch. While the sacred emblems are being passed to those present, appropriate remarks are made by one appointed, or suitable music, vocal or instrumental, is rendered by members of the school or by the organist. After the administration of the sacrament the several classes proceed separately with the lessons assigned for consideration. The lessons in the various grades are intended to suit the capaci- ties of the pupils, the aim being to cultivate their spiritual growth by inculcating the religious and moral truths of the holy scrip- tures the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price and other authorized Church works. Where practicable, each class is conducted in a separate apart- ment, and all, with the exception of those composed of the smaller children, reassemble after the class exercises are completed. The remainder of the time is occupied in a variety of ways by the repeating in concert of memorized scriptural passages, by short addresses from officers, teachers, or visitors, etc. The school is closed with congregational singing, and benediction, after which the members retire in an orderly manner from the building, while the organist renders a selection upon the organ. In the following pages is given a brief sketch of each stake and ward Sunday School organization in Zion, together with the names of successive superintendents, assistants and secretaries of the respective organizations, so far as can be ascertained, from the date of their beginning to December, 31, 1899 the latter year being the fiftieth from the time the first Sunday School was established in the Rocky Mountain region. ALBERTA STAKE. Within this stake are embraced all the Latter-day Saints Sunday Schools of the district of Alberta, North-West Territory, Canada. The stake Sunday School organization of Alberta was effected at a conference held in Cardston, August 19, 1894. The following named persons were at that time sustained as stake officers: Heber S. Allen, superintendent; Frederick W. Atkins, first assistant; William H. Steed, second assistant; David W. Rollins, 60 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. secretary and treasurer. With the exception of the first assistant superintendent, the same officers continued without change until December 31, 1899 the date on which this record closes. F. W. Atkins served as first assistant until August 20, 1898, when he was succeeded by Thomas Duce. The latter was released in August, 1899, and his position remained vacant till the time of closing this record. Thomas Duce has been a Sunday School worker for upwards of thirty years.

There was a Sunday School in Bountiful (formerly called Sessions Settlement) as early as 1853, and it is believed it was commenced as early as 1852. It was held at the home of Jeremiah Willey, who was the first superintendent. When the adobe school house was finished it was removed to that building. Some time later William H. Lee was appointed assistant superintendent. This early school was discontinued in 1857 on account of the approach of the United States army, and the schoolhouse was used as a commissary and gathering place for the home guard. When the settlers returned after the move of 1858, school was held at different times until January, 1868. In 1866 Charleston Goldsborough was superintendent. In January, 1868, a reorganization was effected. At this organi- zation a president of the school was appointed. Henry Hampton occupied this position until November 27, 1872, when he was appointed to preside over the three schools in what was then the Bountiful ward. He continued in this position until January, 1879. At the organization of January, 1868, Allen Frost was appointed superintendent, John Kynaston, assistant superintendent, and Edward Cooke, secretary, under the supervision of President Henry Rampton, of what is now known as the East Bountiful School.

Shearman is credited by old-time residents with having established the first Sunday School in this ward, while it is claimed by some that James McKnight had some time previously conducted for a short period a Sunday School class in a little log meetinghouse near where the present ward chapel stands, in which the school now convenes. The first Sunday School in the ward of which a record is preserved was organized January 3, 1863, and was held in a small adobe build- ing on First South between Fourth and Fifth East Streets.

It was in this ward that Elder Richard Ballantyne organized the first Sunday School in Utah, December 9, 1849, an account of which has already been given in the fore part of this volume. It appears that this early school after being conducted for a few years was discon- tinued for a time, the exact period not being known. There is some record of a Sunday School being in operation in 1856. It was held in what was known as Ballou's Hall. It is evident that at the time of the "move" this school with others was again discontinued.

There the Sunday School had a comfortable home; some two of the classes were held in the upper part of the building. The labors of these indefatigable Elders are remembered and appreciated by many of the rising and leading men of Provo of today. On October 10, 1865, Elder David John was called and set apart as county superintendent, with Samuel S. Jones as his assistant. In 1867, to further aid the cause, Superintendent John called to his assistance William Paxman, of American Fork, Isaiah M. Coombs, of Payson, who, with himself and Assistant S. S. Jones traveled through- out the county visiting and organizing schools. Elder John acted as superintendent for 28 years, lacking three months, and Samuel S. Jones as assistant all this time. In 1876 the Provo school was divided by organizing one in each of the four wards. February 1, 1883, Elder William Paxman resigned, being called to Juab as stake president. Elder I. M. Coombs died May 20, 1886. The vacancies were tnen filled by George Webb, of Lehi, and shortly after his appointment George H. Brimhall was also called to assist Elder John. In 1892 Alfred L. Booth and Lars E. Eggertsen were chosen as assistants and immediately made visits to the respec- tive schools under the direction of Superintendent John. On July 17, 1893, David John resigned, owing to his many duties in the stake presi- dency, of the Utah Stake and Lars E. Eggertsen was made stake superintendent, with Alfred L. Booth and William S. Rawlings as as- sistants. In 1898, with the consent of the stake presidency and Union Board there were called as aids Leonard S. Harrington, Grace Brimhall, Angle Webb and Arthur J. Southwick. Each one of these has a special department to look after. The names of successive stake secretaries are: James Hardy, from 1873 to 1895; Edward H. Holt, from 1895 to 1899; Ora Holbrook pres- ent incumbent. There are 49 Sunday Schools in the Utah Stake of Zion, histori- cal sketches of which follow: ALPINE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

This school was first estab- lished in 1852, the first session being held on the 4th of July of that year. It began with about 25 members. It continued for one year and then discontinued for three years in consequence of Indian troubles. Resuming operations in 1856, it again closed in 1858 on account of the "move," when Johnston's army came to the valley. In 1860 the school reconvened and has continued without further inter- ruption.

Early in the his- tory of the Brigham Young Academy, perhaps in the year 1882 for a record seems not to have been kept till 1883 there was organized a Sunday afternoon class known as missionary meeting. Its pro- grams consisted of singing, prayer, the sacrament, a short discourse, the answering of questions, then the bearing of testimonies, the last being considered by far the most important part of the proceedings. It was a very popular gathering and drew most of the students together on the Lord's day. When the school removed to its present quarters, however, the attendance became too large to secure the best results by a single class. Accordingly, on November 14, 1892, the Brigham Young Academy Snnday School was organized with President Benjamin Cluff, Jr.. as superintendent, and Elders G. H. Brimhall and N. L. Nelson as assistants. There being over twenty rooms at its disposal and the entire teaching force of the Academy to draw from for in- structors, classes were organized in almost every branch of religious training, the purpose at first being mainly to supplement the regular theological work of the week. During the following year the Sunday School Union Board, on an application from the Academy, established a regular normal training course for Sunday School teachers and called missionaries to attend it. In order that these missionaries might, see the practice as well as receive the theory, the school was recognized on the line of a model Sundsfy School, the Sunday School Guide being followed as closely as possible. In order to have a more thorough representation of the lower grades the Sunday School of the Fourth Ward of Provo City was merged with the Academy Sunday School and continued so from 1894 to 1896. During these two years Sunday School workers from almost every stake visited the model Sunday School to study methods of dis- 436 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. cipline and instruction. By this means, as well as by the dissemina- tion of ideas through the medium of the regular class in methods, the influence of the Academy has made itself felt far and wide in the Sunday Schools of Zion. During the year 1893 the Sunday School normal course was of only five weeks' duration. The shortness of the course led to some unlooked-for results. Students had barely time to awaken to the de- fects in old methods, and to become enthusiastic over the finding out of new and better ones, but not time enough to grow sober in the application of their discoveries. In consequence there happened what always happens when zeal is unaccompanied by proper ballast; existing methods were disturbed and the schools were able to profit but very little by proposed innovations. During the year following the course was extended to twenty weeks, and since 1895 it has been made part of the high school curriculum, open to all students like any other elective study. As before observed, the Fourth Ward Sunday School remained but two years as part of the Academy Sunday School. The undoubted advantages of more competent instructors and separate class-rooms gained by uniting with the Academy were off-set by two disadvant- ages. First, when vacation came the classes had to be reorganized under the ward instructors; and secondly, the annals of the ward showed only a blank for the years 1894 to 1896 so far as Sunday School work was concerned a circumstance not likely to appeal to the pride of the ward. After consultation with the proper Sunday School officers, the school was withdrawn early in June, 1896. The school remains, however, as nearly a model as the ability of the teaching force of the Academy can make it. Naturally enough, however, the first aim of the school has again become uppermost, that of making the religious instruction imparted, supplement and re-enforce as much as possible the regular theological training given during the week. Three classes deserve special mention: (1) a kin- dergarten, which aims to interest and instruct children below the age of six years; (2) a normal class which studies the principles of the Gospel from the special point of view of how to teach them; and (3) a missionary class which aims to fit young men for proselyting in the world. The latter is an unusually large and enthusiastic class. The JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 437 rest of the classes are in the main organized according to the pattern laid down in the Sunday School Treatise. The president of the institution has remained the superintendent. Changes in his assistants and in the minor officers have frequently occurred. The attendance since the withdrawal of the Fourth Ward Sunday School has varied from three to four hundred students, mostly grown young men and women. The school is a decided factor in the theological training of the Brigham Young Academy. CEDAR FORT SUNDAY SCHOOL. About the month of July, 1863, this school was first established.

JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 511 MISSION SUNDAY SCHOOLS. The principal purpose of this volume is to give a history of the growth of the Sunday School movement among the Latter-day Saints from 1849, the year in which the first Sunday School was established in Utah, to 1899 a period of fifty years. There were Sunday Schools organized and conducted by Latter-day Saints previous to the year 1849. These were in mission fields abroad. No doubt the earliest of them were organized in Great Britain; and it appears that they were established in that land at an early period in the history of the work there. Elder John Crook, of Heber City, Wasatch County, Utah, in a letter published in the Juvenile Instructor of August 15, 1899, says he attended a Sunday School conducted by the Latter-day Saints as early as the year 1844. A part of his letter upon the subject is herewith reproduced: I want to give my recollections of Sunday School work of the Latter- day Saints. I was born in 1831. My father was baptized in September, 1840, in Bolton, Lancashire, England, eleven miles north of Manchester. In 1844 Joseph and Hyrum were martyred in Carthage jail. It took a little time those days to get the news to Europe, say until about the first of Au- gust. There was at least one Sunday School in England about that time. The school was held in Bury Street Chapel, Bolton, in the lower room at one o'clock p. m. Meeting being in the upper room at two p. m. I was a scholar in that Sunday School, and remember that on a particular day the scholars went to meeting upstairs and found the stand decorated with crape- I asked some one older than myself, "What does this mean?" Some one said, "In memory of the martyrs Joseph and Hyrum." This was a dreadful shock to me. I remember as well as if it were yesterday. I was then not quite thirteen years old. * * I have no dates when this school was organized, but I think school had been running one year anyway at the time of the incident I mention. I can safely say I had attended a long time before that. I have said that my father was baptized in September, 1840, and my sister Alice and myself at- 512 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. tended meetings with father. I well remember us two holding to his hand and walking by his side about two and one half miles on Sunday to school and meeting. If any of the Bolton Saints who attended meeting in those early days are alive, I call their attention to the first meeting place in Bolton Back King Street;- narrow entry, upstairs. A Brother John Has- lam was one of the superintendency of the school when the above occur- rence took place. I believe he emigrated about 1846; and then a Brother James Haslam took charge of the school. Several other correspondents of the Juvenile Instructor make mention of early Sunday Schools established by members of the Church in Great Britain. Elder Evan S. Morgan, of Liberty, Bear Lake County, Idaho, says that, in the year 1851, he attended a Sunday School conducted by the Latter-day Saints in the Alltwell Branch of the Western Gla- morganshire Conference, South Wales, it being presided over at that time by a Brother Richard Gibbs. Elder Peter Greenhalgh, of Bloomington, Bear Lake County, Idaho, makes the following statement concerning the organization of another early Sunday School in the British Isles: At a meeting of the local Priesthood of the Radcliff Branch of the Manchester Conference, I suggested to the brethren the ; propriety of com- mencing a Sunday School where the children of the Saints could be brought together on the Sabbath morning. The brethren approved the suggestion and the organizing of the Sunday School was placed on me. The school was organized in the early spring of 1853, was continued up to the time I emigrated in the spring of 1854; and was continued by Brother Joseph Crosley (who was my assistant in the school) for one or two years, or until he left England for Utah. Still another school established in the early fifties is mentioned by another correspondent. Elder Robert Aveson, of Salt Lake City, writes that about the year 1854 a Sunday School was opened in Great Camden Street, Camden Town, London. One of the chief promoters of this school, the writer goes on to say, was Sister Helen R. Webb, who afterwards emigrated to this country and resided in Salt Lake City. A Brother Cornell and this lady were the teachers in this school, and it was conducted with the sanction and approval of the president of the branch, Brother George Ferguson. The books used JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 513 were the New Testament and Jaques' Catechism for Children.)) The latter work was formerly a favorite text-book in Sunday Schools abroad as well as here in Zion. Elder Joseph W. Summerhays, of Salt Lake City, states that late in the fifties he attended a Sunday School in the Chelsea Branch of the London Conference, which was conducted by Brother Thomas Wootton. Other schools besides these mentioned here were to be found in various parts of Great Britain at a comparatively early date; but, as is the case today in many of the missions, they were not permanent institutions. On account of the constant changes occasioned by the emigration of the Saints the continued existence of any one of them was uncertain. Sunday Schools are still to be found in many of the branches of the Church in that land. Some of these schools are conducted by the missionaries laboring there, while others are presided over by local brethren. In either case changes occur so frequently that it would be impracticable to note them here even if a complete record were pre- served; and where a record has been kept it is an exception and not the rule. What is said about the Sunday Schools of the Saints in the Brit- ish mission will apply to a great extent to those of many other mis- sions. As early as 1882 reports were sent from the Sunday Schools of the Hawaiian Islands, and in 1883 reports were also received from the Northwestern States Mission; but not until 1891 did the prac- tice of forwarding such reports annually from the various missions of the Church become general. Owing to a lack of further infor- mation, the few facts regarding the Sunday School work in the mis- sions abroad, presented in the following pages, are all that can now be given. In all cases where other persons have not been chosen to fill such positions, the presidents of missions of the Church abroad are recog- nized, and designated in the following reports, as mission superin- tendents of Sunday Schools. AUSTRALIA. Previous to 1897 the Sunday Schools of Australia and New Zealand were reported together. During the year named the mission was divided, and the report for 1898 shows that there '514 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. were 4 schools in Australia, having a membership of 4 officers and teachers and 154 pupils. Elder F. E. Barker was superintendent at that time and still holds the position. The report for 1899 shows 5 schools, with 17 officers and teachers and 170 pupils. CALIFORNIA. The first Sunday School report received from this mission was for the year 1892. But one school, with 3 officers and teachers and 7 pupils, was then organized, James T. Garlic being superintendent. The report for 1899 shows 6 schools with a total enrollment of 30 officers and teachers and 170 pupils. Elder Eph- raim H. Nye is the mission superintendent. COLORADO. The first missionaries of the Church appointed to labor in this State arrived in Denver in December, 1896. On Febru- ary 21, 1897, under the direction of Apostle John W. Taylor, the president of the Colorado Mission, a Sunday School was organized in Professor Martine's Hall, 1646 California Street. The officers chosen were: John H. Boshard, superintendent; Horace S. Ensign, musical director; David Mann, organist, and Charles S. Heermance, secretary. After continuing for some time this school was suspended. It was reorganized on March 20, 1898, with Charles R. Long superintend- dent. He was without assistants until December 17, 1899, when Thomas Divett was chosen first assistant, and Jane W. Skol field, second assistant. Annie Hawkins succeeded Minnie Brewer as sec- retary on January 1, 1898; and on March 20 following Laura I. Divett, the present secretary was chosen. The school is held in Woodman Hall, 1715 California Street. Its present enrollment shows 5 officers and teachers and 25 pupils. On July 4, 1897, a Sunday School was established in Overland, a suburb of Denver, where a few Saints resided. A Brother Gary was chosen superintendent; Charles S.Heermance,first assistant; and Minnie Brewer, secretary. It began with 6 officers and teachers and 15 pupils. It was discontinued after running for a short time. The Sunday School of Pueblo, Colorado, was organized under the direction of John E. Woolley, president of the South Colorado Confer- ence, on March 14, 1897. It began with 10 members, and has since increased to 83 members. H. E. Cummings is superintendent of the school, and James Thomas Johnson, secretary. JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 515 A Sunday School was organized at Colorado Springs, in 1898, under the direction of Fred J. Pack, the conference president. Owing to the emigration of the Saints this school has been discontinued. The above mentioned schools are the only ones in the mission. Apostle John W. Taylor is still president of the mission. EASTERN STATES. When first reported to the Deseret Sunday .School Union, in 1894, this mission, then presided over by Elder Samuel W. Richards, had 2 Sunday Schools, with 7 officers and teachers and 46 pupils. It now has 12 schools, 78 officers and teachers and 365 pupils. In most instances the schools are temporary organizations, con- ducted by the missionaries, but the Sunday School of Ocean Side, Long Island, is officered by local brethren, and gives promise of being a permanent institution. Elders Marcus Farr, E. D. Whiting and Henry J. Soper constitute the superintendency of this school. The mission superintendent is Elder W. H. Smart. GERMANY. Until 1897 the German and Swiss missions were combined. The earliest report of Sunday Schools in the mission is for the year ending December 31, 1891. At that time there were 2 schools, with 4 officers and teachers and 15 pupils. The report for the year ending December 31, 1899, shows 9 schools, 41 officers and teachers and 327 pupils. In 1891, J. J. Scharrer was superintendent. A. H. Schulthess is the present superintendent. GREAT BRITAIN. Reference has already been made, on page 511, to the Sunday School work in this land. The first annual report re- ceived from this mission was for 1891. It shows that there were then 11 Sunday Schools in the mission, with an enrollment of 25 officers arid teachers and 174 pupils. The mission superintendent at that time was Apostle Brigham Young. The report for 1899, gives the number of schools as 31, having a total enrollment of 136 officers and teachers and 734 pupils. Elder Platte D. Lyman, is the mission superintendent. HAWAII. Reports from the Sunday Schools of this mission, which embraces the Sandwich Island group, have been received an- 516 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. nually since 1882. The one for that year is somewhat imperfect, but the report for the year following (1883) is more complete, and shows that at that time there was 9 schools on the islands, with 43 officers and teachers and 292 pupils. Elder M. E. Pack was the mission sup- erintendent at that period. The report for 1899 contains the follow- ing exhibit: Number of schools, 32; number of officers and teachers, 184; number of pupils, 1227; Elder Charles C. Bush, mission super- intendent. As but few of the Saints have emigrated from these islands, the number of Sunday School members has steadily increased. IOSEPA COLONY is located within Tooele County, Utah. It is composed of natives of the Hawaiian Islands and their descendants. It is of recent establishment, and its first Sunday School report is for the year 1894. At that time the one school organized in the colony had 7 officers and teachers and 34 pupils. Kauleinamoku, a native Hawaiian Elder, was the superintendent. The report for 1899 shows that the school has increased in numbers to 21 officers and teachers and 75 pupils. The present officers are: Kahana Pukahi,superintendent; David Kamaawe, first assistant; J. P. Nawahine, second assistant; Hannah Kaaepa, secretary. NETHERLANDS. In 1892, when the Sunday Schools of this mis- sion were first reported, there were 4 schools there with 28 officers and teachers and 152 pupils. Elder Edwin Bennion was mission sup- perintendent at that time. The report for 1899 gives the number of schools as 9, the number of officers and teachers, 66, and the num- ber of pupils 396. Elder A. L. Farrell is the present mission super- intendent. NEW ZEALAND. Previous to the year 1897, the Sunday Schools of New Zealand and Australia were reported together, as the two countries were included in the one mission. The earliest report received from the Sunday Schools of the New Zealand Mission was for the year ending December 31, 1891. There were then 25 schools established* with a total enrollment of 1800 members. The mission superintend- ent was William T. Stewart. The report for the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1899, which presents statistics for New {Zealand only, shows- JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 517 that there are now 26 schools there, with .91 officers and teachers and 787 pupils. All but 4 of the schools are composed of Maoris. Elder Ezra T. Stevenson is the mission superintendent. NORTHERN STATES. Formerly what is now the Northern States Mission was known as the Northwestern States Mission. Since the establishment of a mission still farther towards the northwestern part of the United States the name has been changed. The mission at present embraces the States of Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, and the province of Manitoba, Canada. In 1883, the Sunday Schools of this mission were first reported. There were then 3 schools organized with 13 officers and teachers and 50 pupils. The school of Johnsonville, Warren County, Indiana, is the only one from which a complete report was received at that time. It was organized July 2, 1882, with Jonathan Small, 'superin- tendent; W. R. Newell, assistant superintendent; and Emma Bever, secretary. The other two schools were organized in the spring of that same year, and, so far as can now be learned, were the first in the mission. Elder William M. Palmer was mission superintendent at that period. The present superintendent is Elder Louis A. Kelsch. The report for 1899, shows that there are now 14 schools in the mis- sion with 78 officers and teachers and 332 pupils. Most of the schools are conducted by the missionaries. NORTHWESTERN STATES. This mission, which embraces Montana, Oregon, Washington, and that part of Idaho not included within the stakes of Zion, is of quite recent creation. The first Sunday School report received is that for the year 1898. There were then 12 schools organized and 86 officers and teachers and 232 pupils enrolled in them. The report for 1899 shows an increase to 17 schools, with 95 officers and teachers and 334 pupils. F. S. Bramwell has been mission superintendent during the past two years. SOUTHERN STATES. The earliest Sunday School report received from this mission is for 1893. It shows that there were at that period 6 schools established, with 27 officers and teachers and 143 518 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. pupils enrolled, Elder J. G. Kimball being mission superintendent. The report for 1899 presents the folio wing: exhibit: Nunber of schools, 115; number of officers and teachers, 591; number of pupils, 2262; Ben E. Rich, mission superintendent. Special attention has been given to Sunday School work in this mission during recent years, and each of its 17 conferences has a conference Sunday School superintendent who travels and labors in the interest of this work. SOUTHWESTERN STATES. This mission was formerly known as the Indian Territory Mission. It now embraces Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and the Indian Territory. The first report to the Deseret Sunday School Union, which was for the year 1894, states that there where then 4 Sunday Schools in the mission, containing 19 officers and teachers and 50 pupils. Elder Andrew Kimball was mission superintendent. The report for December 31, 1899, states that there were at that time 11 schools, with 67 officers and teachers and 284 pupils. The present mission superintendent is Elder William T. Jack. SAMOA. The first Sunday School in this mission was established by Elder Joseph H. Dean. It began August 26, 1888. On October 28, that same year, it was more fully organized with William 0. Lee, superintendent; Delbert Beesley, first assistant; and Kapule, a native of the Sandwich Islands, second assistant. In 1891, when the first Sunday School report was received, this mission had 8 schools, 16 officers and teachers and 116 pupils. The mission superintendent at that time was Elder G. E. Bowring. The present superintendent is William G. Sears; and the report for 1899 shows there are 18 schools 36 officers and teachers and 368 pupils in the mission. The natives take a deep interest in the Sunday School work. In Tuasivi, on the island of Savaii, for example, there is a school of 50, which includes the entire number of Church members; except in cases of sickness, every member is found in attendance each Sunday. The pupils are quick at learning, and are making rapid ad- vancement in their Gospel studies as well as in learning the English language.

The first Sunday School statistical report received from Scandinavia is for the year 1891. At that time Elder E. H. Anderson was the mission president. There were 6 schools reported, with 41 officers and teach- ers and 275 pupils enrolled. The report for 1899 shows 9 schools, 194 officers and teachers and 1023 pupils. The mission president is Elder Andreas Peterson. SWITZERLAND. Previous to 1897, the Swiss and the German missions of the Church were united, and the Sunday Schools of both countries were reported together. The first statistical report after the division was made is that for 1898, which only gives the number of schools, of which there were 5. A year later there were 8 schools, with an enrollment of 11 officers and teachers and 118 pupils. Elder H. E. Bowman is the mission superintendent. Owing to the scattered' condition of the Saints the schools are small and incompletely organ- ized. Usually they are conducted by the missionaries. 520 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS, COMMEMORATING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS OF THE LATTER-DAY SAINTS. The proposition to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the es- tablishment of Sunday Schools in this Rocky Mountain region was a pleasing idea entertained and put into execution by the Deseret Sun- day School Union Board. It was decided that a grand celebration be held in Salt Lake City; and to secure as full a representation as possible of Sunday School workers from the various stakes of Zion, the time of holding it was set for Sunday evening, October 8, 1899 just at the close of the semi-annual conference of the Church, which was held during the three preceding days. As only a comparatively small proportion of the vast army of Sunday School members would be able to attend this gathering, and in order that all the children might have an opportunity to celebrate, it was further suggested by the Union Board that local jubilees be held in each ward throughout the stakes of Zion, and, so far as practicable, in the mission Sunday Schools abroad. A full account of the interesting proceedings of the general celebration is herewith presented: THE GENERAL JUBILEE CELEBRATION. The general jubilee celebration commemorative of the establish- ment of the Sunday Schools of the Latter-day Saints, in the Rocky Mountains, was held in the Tabernacle, Salt Lake City, Utah, Sunday evening, October 8, 1899. The large Tabernacle was filled to its utmost capacity, before the opening hour, chiefly with Sabbath School workers, and very many people were unable to gain ingress. In addition to the general dec- orations of the building, there were placed in prominent positions large portraits of the Prophet Joseph Smith, the Patriarch Hyrum REPRESENTATIVES OF NATIONS AND PEOPLES. JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 521 Smith, and Presidents Brigham Young, John Taylor, Wilf ord Woodruff and Lorenzo Snow; also a heroic bust picture of Richard Ballantyne; life size portraits of General Superintendent George Q. Cannon, Pres- ident Joseph F. Smith, Elders George Goddard, John Morgan and most of the members of the quorum of the Apostles and Deseret Sun- day School Union Board. Besides the general and stake officers of the Sunday School organization in places reserved, there were also seats reserved for and occupied by those who had been members of the first Sunday School, those who had been Sunday School workers forty-five, forty, thirty-five, thirty and twenty-five years, and for the husbands, wives and children of members of the first Sunday School, and reciters from different nations, of the Articles of Faith, winners of the prize medals awarded to the writer of the words and the composer of the music of the "Jubilee Hymn," awarding committees, the blind and deaf representatives; also the families of the late Elders Richard Ballantyne, George Goddard and John Morgan. On the stand were, of the general authorities of the Church: Presidents Lorenzo Snow, George Q. Cannon and Joseph F. Smith; Patriarch John Smith; members of the council of the Twelve Apostles, Francis M. Lyman, John Henry Smith, Heber J. Grant, George Teas- dale, Anthon H. Lund, Matthias F. Cowley, Abraham 0. Woodruff, and Rudger Clawson; members of the first council of Seventies, Sey- mour B. Young, C. D. Fjeldsted, George Reynolds, J. Golden Kim- ball, Rulon S. Wells and Joseph W. McMurrin; and Presiding Bishop William B. Preston. Or* the Deseret Sunday School Union officers there were: George Q. Cannon, general superintendent; Karl G. Maeser, assistant gen- eral superintendent; George Reynolds, general treasurer; George D. Pyper, general secretary; and Leo Hunsaker, assistant general secre- tary; of the members of the Sunday School Union General Board, George Q. Cannon, Karl G. Maeser, George Reynolds, Thomas C. Griggs, Joseph W. Summerhays, Levi W. Richards, Francis M. Lyman, Heber J. Grant, Joseph M. Tanner, George Teasdale, and Joseph F. Smith; aids to the General Board, L. John Nuttall, James W. Ure, John F. Bennett, John M. Mills, William B. Dougall, William D. Owen and Seymour B. Young. General Superintendent George Q. Cannon presided. 33 522 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. At 7 p. m., Held's Military Band, which had kindly volunteered its services for the occasion, and which occupied a place in front of the choir seats, played an overture by Suppe, "Poet and Peasant." At 7:20 p. m., General Superintendent George Q. Cannon an- nounced the opening hymn, "Our God, we Raise to Thee," which was sung by the Tabernacle Choir and the congregation, under the leader- ship of Professor "Rvan Stephens, Professor Joseph J. Daynes being the organist. Prayer was offered by Assistant General Superintendent Karl G. Maeser. The Tabernacle Choir sang the hymn, "For the strength of the hills we bless thee, our God, our fathers' God." The roll of stakes was then called by Secretary George D. Pyper, there being present representatives from all the forty stakes of Zion, as follows: Alberta, Bannock, Bear Lake, Beaver, Bingham, Box Elder, Cache, Cassia, Davis, Emery, Fremont, Juab, Juarez, Kanab, Malad, Maricopa, Millard, Morgan, Oneida, Panguitch, Parowan, Poca- tello, Salt Lake, San Juan, San Louis, Sanpete, Seveir, Snowflake, St. George, St. John, St. Joseph, Star Valley, Summit, Tooele, Uintah, Wasatch, Utah, Wayne, Weber and Woodruff. General Superintendent George Q. Cannon then spoke as follows: It is gratifying to know that every stake has a representative here this evening. I see that I am on the program for some introductory remarks. The time is so short that what I shall say will be very brief. I am sure that every one present must be profoundly impressed with this assemblage of people this evening. Of the many sights we have had of a gratifying character, connected with the Sunday Schools, this certainly excells them all. It is exceedingly delightful to see the interest that i& taken by the whole people in this grand work. The Sunday School has be. come an institution that is very dear to the hearts of this entire people. Every day that passes impresses its importance more and more on the minds of all. Every parent that has right conceptions concerning the future of their children, feels a deep and abiding interest in the Sunday School. The Sunday School Union Board has very little occasion to find fault with the management of the Sunday School, or with the lack of interest manifested by those who ought to take interest in it. Everybody recognizes the value- of the Sunday School, and of its teachings, but there remains a great deal JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 523 yet to be done. As Sunday School workers we should not be content until we have brought all the children of the land into the Sunday School and under its influence, so that these little fellows that now grow wild may be humanized and made to feel the responsibilities that will rest upon them when they grow to manhood. I am sure that everyone that labors in the Sunday School feels the importance of training their children and getting them to observe the Sabbath day and to refrain from visiting the street corners, behaving rudely and boisterously, or going fishing or hunting on the day which has been set apart by the Almighty for his worship, and which ought to be sacred in all our hearts. Our children should be impressed with the sacredness of this day. I hope to see the time when we shall have less of this unruly element in our streets and in our homes, and when our children shall become students in the Sunday School. The Sunday School is dear to the hearts of those children who do attend. They feel interested in it, and the influence of our teachings in the Sunday School is going to make, it may be said, a new generation. It is but a few years from childhood to manhood, and in our hands, Sunday School teachers and superintendents, is the formation of the character of the rising generation. As we impress them with the proper feelings and thoughts and teach them correct habits, so will they grow up to manhood and womanhood, and their influence will be felt for good wherever they move. I pray God to bless this Sunday School movement, to bless every man and woman who labors in this cause and who devotes himself and herself to the promotion of righteousness in the midst of the rising generation. I ask this blessing in the name of Jesus. Amen. Elder Francis M. Lyman read a paper prepared for the occasion, giving a condensed history of the general Sunday School movement among the Latter-day Saints, covering the period from 1849 to 1899. (In substance this sketch is embodied in the historical account of the Sunday School cause given in the fore part of this volume.) General Superintendent George Q. Cannon next introduced the members of the first Sunday School, saying: On the left of the stand are the surviving members of the first Sunday School, of which we have heard a description by Elder Lyman, and the roll will be called. The original roll, if there ever was one, cannot be found, but after years of inquiry, a number of those who were members of that school have been found, and their names are enrolled and will be read by the secre- tary, and as they are read, we wish each member to arise and say, "present." If there are any who are absent, whose names are called, Brother Summer- 524 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. hays will explain the cause of their absence. Then badges will be given to those present. Secretary George D. Pyper called the roll of members of the first Sunday School, the response to the names of those who were absent being made by Elder Joseph W. Summerhays, of the Sunday School Union General Board. The roll is as follows: Richard Ballantyne, died November 8, 1898. Angus M. Cannon, Salt Lake City. Joseph J. Taylor, Manti, Utah. Jacob Peart, Farmers' Ward, Salt Lake County.

Cannon, Jacob Peart, Emily Hoagland Cannon, Adelia West floagland, George J. Taylor, David H. Cannon, Martha Van Cott Price, Margaret Oakley Best, Joseph S. Home, Elizabeth Pugmire Taylor, Augusta Braddock Clayton, Lydia Phelps Thorp, and Samuel H. B. Smith. Special badges had been prepared for these brethren and sisters, and they were pinned upon them by a committe composed of the daughters of the members of this first school. Elder Angus M. Cannon, a member of the first school, spoke as follows: The impression made upon my mind this evening, compared with my attendance at the first Sabbath School,is very great. There may have been fifty scholars in the original Sabbath School during the time it was held in Brother Ballantyne's house, but if there were a dozen persons present when the class was formed, I fail to remember it. The Fourteenth Ward was fenced with poles around the entire ward, bars being placed at the entrance of each street. Brother Ballantyne's house was new, and was made very comfort- able with benches constructed hastily for our accommodation. Brother Bal. lantyne's soul was swallowed up in the good effects that this school would have upon the youth of this people; and I will say that the impressions that were created upon my mind regarding the object that God has in calling us from the world unto Zion was marked and has helped to shape my character up to the present time. We were familiar with poverty. The meetinghouse that was occupied in this city stood on the southeast corner of this [Temple] block, known as the mud-covered bowery, constructed of Spanish adobes, one foot by eighteen inches in size. The meeting place we occupied in the Fourteenth Ward was in the house of Dr, Richardson, a little log hut. The meetinghouse we occupied in the Seventh Ward was Samuel Pitchf orth's residence, where testimony meet- ings were held, and faith in God was promoted in our hearts. We rejoiced in the testimony that God gave us of his truth, having been informed by Brother Ballantyne that God had indeed restored the Gospel, established his Priesthood among men, called us from darkness unto light, from the world unto Zion, and that we were not to be of the world, but that we were to be the children of God, under the everlasting covenant; being taught that Joseph the Prophet, and Hyrum, his brother, had been martyred for the testi- mony of Jesus, and that we should be devoted to his cause, deny ourselves luxuries, be content with the necessaries of life, living in houses constructed by our industry, and possessing sufficient comfort to promote our health and 526 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. give us strength, that we might cultivate these then barren wastes, procure the necessaries of life, carry the Gospel to a dark and benighted world, pro- claiming that God has spoken from heaven for the regeneration of mankind, and to teach us that he was our Heavenly Father, and that our destiny was to become his children and enter into his celestial presence. How faithfully Brother Ballantyne's testimony has been observed in the increase of Sunday Schools, is evidenced tonight in the number that are here assembled. And when I remember that God has promised us this increase and prosperity, and still greater increase and prosperity, provided we are loyal to him, every fibre of my being seems to enter in with my whole soul to pledge God loyalty, to observe faithfully, to pay my tithes and offerings unto him, in hope that he will give my children faith and make them firm supporters of his work in the establishment of his Gospel as he has revealed it and restored his Priesthood in these the last days. I thank you for this opportunity, and for the honor conferred upon me, and pray God's blessing to be upon the general superintendency, the super- intendents, the teachers and the scholars, and all the associations of Zion throughout the whole world, in the name of Jesus. Amen. "Zion's Sunday School Jubilee Hymn," (words and music written for this occasion) was sung by the Tabernacle Choir. Then followed the presentation of the gold medal awarded to Emily H. Woodmansee for the best hymn; also gold medal to the Rev- W. Daunt Scott, for the best musical composition. The presentation was made by Elder Heber J. Grant, of the Des- eret Sunday School Union Board, who spoke as follows: A committee consisting of John Nicholson, Joshua H. Paul and George H. Brimhall was selected by the Sunday School Union Board to examine all hymns that were submitted in this competition andjto decide upon the best composition. The committee were unanimous in awarding the gold medal for the words of this hymn to Sister Emily H. Woodmansee. The committee appointed to examine the music and make the award for the best musical composition consisted of Arthur Shepherd, Anthony Lund and Squire Coop. They were unanimous in awarding the gold medal to Rev. W. Daunt Scott. The Sunday School Union has always endeavored to get the best possible results by giving medals and prizes for musical compositions, and it gives me much pleasure, on behalf of the board, to present these medals to Sister Emily H. Woodmansee and to Rev. W. Daunt Scott. The medals were pinned upon the prize winners by Mary Alice Hoagland Cannon and Maggie Peart Cardall. JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS- 527 A polyglot recitation of the Articles of Faith was then given under the direction of Elder George Teasdale, of the Deseret Sunday .School Union Board. In this recitation a number of persons repre- senting different nationalities dressed in the native costume, recited in the native tongue the Articles of Faith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. On opening this exercise, Elder Teasdale read a portion of the 107th Psalm, as follows: give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city ito dwell in. Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonder- ful works to the children of men! The recitation of the Articles of Faith was in the following order: 1. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ' and in the Holy Ghost. Recitation in German, by Gustav Weileman and Lena Dana, Swiss and German representatives from Bear Lake Stake. 2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression. Recitation in Danish, by Christian T. Nelson and Jensenna M. Anderson, Danish representatives from Sevier Stake. 3. We believe that through the atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel. Recitation in Spanish, by S. C. Richardson and Pearl Whiting, representatives from Juarez Stake, Mexico. 4. We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel 528 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. are: First, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Bap- tism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the Gift of the Holy Ghost. Recitation in Lamanitish tongue (Shoshone), by Ammon Pubigee and Willie Ottogary, American Indians, representatives from Malad Stake; then in the Maori language, by Hirini Whaanga and Mere Whaanga, Maoris, representatives from Salt Lake Stake; in Samoan lan- guage, by Angus Alston, Jr., and Tessie Garn, representatives of Salt Lake Stake, in Kanaka, by Henry Halemanu and Hannah Kaaepa, Hawaiians, representatives from losepa Colony; in Tahitian, by Eugene M. Cannon and Frank Cutler, representatives from Salt Lake Stake, who had been on missions to the Society Islands. 5. We believe that a man must be called of God by "prophecy and by the laying on of hands," by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof. Recitation in Swedish, by David Holmgreen and Emma S. Jensen, Swedish representatives from Box Elder Stake. 6. We believe in the same organization that existed in the primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, etc. Recitation in Dutch, by Kryn Van and Maggie Abies, natives of the Netherlands, representatives from Weber Stake. 7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, etc. Recitation in Welsh, by Elders David L. Davis and Evan Stephens, representatives from Salt Lake Stake. 8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God, as far as it is trans- lated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God. Recitation in French, by Xavier Sager and Marie Antoinette Lang, French representatives from Salt Lake Stake. 9. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God. Italian representatives had been assigned this recitation in Ital- JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 529 ian, but they failed to respond and the article was read in English by Elder Teasdale. 10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes. That Zion will be built upon this continent. That Christ will reign personally upon the earth, and that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisaical glory. Recitation in Norwegian, by Leonard Willardson and Eleanor Olson, Norwegian representatives from Sanpete Stake. 11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where or what they may. Recitation in Icelandic, by Lof tar Bjarnason and Dena Bjarnason, Icelanders, representatives from Utah Stake. 12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers and magis- trates, in obeying, honoring and sustaining the law. Recitation in Turkish, by Philip Maycock and Alice Howarth r representatives from Salt Lake Stake, the first named having been on a mission to Turkey. 13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul, "We believe all things, we hope all things," we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything vir- tuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things- Recitation in Celtic, by William A. Morton and companion, Irish representatives from Salt Lake Stake; then in Scotch dialect, by Rob- ert Hogg and Nettie Durrant, Scotch representatives from Morgan Stake; and in English, by David Jeffs and Sister Hyde, American, (United States,) representatives from Davis Stake, by Roger Horrocks and Sarah Roberts, English representatives from Wasatch Stake, and by Ezra C. Robinson and Zina Y. Card, Canadian representatives from Alberta Stake. Elder Teasdale then stated that, in addition to the nations that had been represented in the recitation of the Articles of Faith the Gospel had been preached in other lands, as follows: Isle of Man, Channel Islands, Finland, Russia, Hungary, Bohemia, Australia, Belgium,. -530 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. Friendly Islands, Marquesas Islands, Tuamotu Islands, Cook Archipel- ago, Leeward Islands, Austral Islands, Palestine, Turkey in Europe, Danubian principalities, Spain, Hindustan, Malta, Africa, China, Siam, Chili, East Indies, West Indies, Greece, Philippines, Japan and other countries. All of those who had taken part in the recitation of the Articles of Faith then responded in unison to the following invitation from Elder Teasdale: Now we will repeat in concert what has brought this all about, this wonderful gathering from the north, south, east and west, by a recitation of the sixth and seventh verses of the fourteenth chapter of Revelation, in the English language, by the representatives of these nations. The passages recited in concert are as follows: And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the ever- lasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of water. When this had been done Elder Teasdale spoke to the vast as- semblage as follows: We bear testimony that this angel has flown through the midst of heaven, and restored the everlasting Gospel, thus bringing to pass the gath- ering of this people, whom God hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy, gathered from the north, south, east and west, and brought to the marvel- ous light of his everlasting Gospel; and this wonderful, immense, assem- blage of people gathered here tonight, to the glory of God, our Eternal Father, has been accomplished by the visitation of this angel and the restoration of the everlasting Gospel. To God and the Lamb be all glory, forever and ever. Amen. It was announced by President George Q. Cannon that the Deaf Mute Sunday School was on the program for the recitation of the Lord's Prayer, but the school was quarantined owing to the prevalence of scarlet fever. Instead of this exercise the assistant superintend- ent of the Deaf Mute and Blind Sunday School, Elder Laron Pratt, of Salt Lake City, gave, in the deaf mute sign language, the hymn, "0, JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 531 any Father," which was vocalized by his daughter, Maude Pratt Griggs, who sang the hymn in the English language. President George Q. Cannon then stated that the school for the blind being quarantined also, on account of scarlet fever, the mem- bers could not be present, but in place thereof, Elder Joseph Hodgins, 'blind from his birth, would read from 29th chapter of Isaiah, the 9th, 10th, llth, 12th, 13th, 18th and 19th verses. The reading was from a Bible for the blind, the reader following the raised letters with his fingers. The verses are as follows: 9. Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, >but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. 101 For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered. 11. And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: 12. And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. 13. Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: 18. And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. 19. The meek also shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. General Superintendent George Q. Cannon then introduced in order the Sunday School officers and teacher who had been in service for 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 years, respectively; and badges were pinned on the breasts of those present by daughters of members of the first Sunday School. Bancroft LibSfll While the badges were being distributed a selection from "Lucia di Lammermoor," by Donizetti, was played by Held's Military Band. President Lorenzo Snow then briefly addressed the vast congre- gation as follows: I wish that I had words to express my astonishment at what I have witnessed during the accomplishment of this program. I feel in my heart 532 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. to say,[God bless the Sunday School Union, and all who have taken part in pushing forward its interests. In all ray travels through the world I have never seen anything that delighted me more than that which I have wit- nessed this evening. Your superintendent, President George Q. Cannon, I ask that] the Lord will pour his Holy Spirit upon him abundantly in the future, '^as^he^has done in the past, in carrying forward the interests of this grand and glorious Sunday School work. Nothing can be shown in the world like that that has been shown tonight. God bless every person who- has been engaged in the interests of the Sunday Schools the superintend- ents, the aids, and everyone that has thus been employed, God bless them. He mostjassuredly has blessed them, and a success has been accomplished that is certainly wonderful. God bless the Sunday School Union. Amen. President Joseph F. Smith also addressed the meeting as follows: It is said somewhere in the good old book that there is nothing new under the sun. That which we have witnessed here this evening comes about as near being a contradiction of this scripture as anything I ever have seen. We will not dispute the language of the wise man in relation to this matter. We will be contented with saying that it is something new under the electric lights. The repetition of the Articles of Faith in nineteen different languages and dialects (the result of the proclamation of this Gos- pel within the last sixty years) is something of which we may well be proud. I congratulate the superintendent of the Sunday Schools and his efficient aids and assistants, on the most wonderful display that has ever been made here, this evening, of the progress that is being made in the Sunday Schools, and in this glorious effort to promulgate the truth. I can. only repeat the words of our beloved President, God bless our Sunday Schools. President George Q. Cannon then said: It is only proper that credit should be given to those who have done the work in preparing for this Jubilee. The Brethren have taken hold of this with great zeal, and, as you have seen, they have made a success of that which they have undertaken. I cannot claim any credit myself, for my other duties have absorbed my time to a great extent. Still, I have counseled and directed to some extent. The workers on the Board, however and those who have assisted them, deserve whatever credit there is for that which we have seen and heard here tonight. I am pleased to be able to give them this meed of praise. I may say that the Sunday School has been very dear to me. When I returned from Europe, after filling continuous missions for a long time, I JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 533 elt there was an immense field in Zion for the labors of the Elders. I had seen how few souls could be gathered abroad, and when I reflected upon the numbers of our children at home, I felt a burning desire to spend all the time I could in trying to teach them the principles of the Gospel. Upon my return, in 1864, I organized a Sunday School in the 14th Ward, and other schools were organized directly afterwards. As soon thereafter as I could I published a little work, which I named the Juvenile Instructor. The Juve- nile Instructor has been one of the best labors that I have ever been engaged in, because I have felt that it was doing good to our children. We can see today what an immense field is spread around us, furnishing every oppor - tunity for every one who desires to thrust in his sickle and reap. I am thankful to have President Snow and President Smith here to bless us, as they have tonight, and I pray that their blessings will be fulfilled, as I know they will be. General Superintendent George Q. Cannon announced that those entitled to badges, who had not received them, could obtain them by calling on the secretary of the Sunday School Union, in the Union office in the Templeton Building, Salt Lake City. The choir and congregation, accompanied by Held's Military Band, rendered, "Gather Round the Standard Bearer." Benediction was pronounced by Elder John B. Maiben; and as the audience dispersed Professor Joseph J. Daynes rendered selections on the grand organ. The names of those composing the several committees appointed to prepare for and assist in conducting the proceedings of this cele- bration are : Executive 'Committee Joseph W. Summerhays, Thomas C.

As has already been mentioned, the Deseret Sunday School Union Board suggested .that the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of Sunday Schools in Zion be fittingly commemorated in all the wards and branches of the Church. This idea received general favor among Sunday School workers; and much enthusiasm was manifested by many of them in carrying the suggestion into effect. The interest taken in the celebrations by the ward authorities and the people generally, also served to make them inspiring and memorable. The time for holding these local jubilee celebrations was Sunday, December 10, 1899, this being just fifty years and a day from the Sabbath on which the first Sunday School was held in Utah. The following program of exercises for the occasion, as proposed by the Union Board, was carried out generally in all the gatherings of that day: MORNING SESSION. 1 Roll-call of officers and teachers. 2 Singing, "Come Join our Celebration," (Sunday School Song Book, page 25.) JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 535 3 Invocation. 4 Singing, "Song of the Workers," (Suuday School Song Book, page 57.) 5. Reading of the minutes of the previous regular session of the school. 6 Administration of the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. 7 Introductory remarks by the superintendent followed by a brief history of the school, based upon the matter submitted in the historical report made to the Sunday School Union. 8 Singing, "Sowing," (Sunday School Song Book, page 63.) 9 Introduction, by assistant superintendent, of the member longest on the roll of the Sunday School; of the oldest (in years) member of the- Sunday School; of the youngest (in years) member of the Sunday School. 10 In memorial*. Reading by assistant superintendent or secretary of lists of names of the prominent Sunday School workers (members of the ward) deceased, in the order of their decease. 11 Singing, "Land of the Blest," (Sunday School Song Book, page 11.) 12 Remarks by the bishop of the w.ard. 13 Recitation by the school of the Articles of Faith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 14 Remarks by stake officers or others present. 15 Singing, "Zion is Growing," (Sunday School Song Book, page 50.)- 16 Benediction by patriarch if present. AFTERNOON OR EVENING SESSION. Singing, "Our God we Raise to Thee," (Sunday School Song Book, page 198.) 2 Invocation. 3 Singing, "For the Strength of the Hills we Bless Thee," (Sunday School Song Book, page 196.) 4 Preliminary remarks by superintendent or assistant, explanatory of the two celebrations the general one held in Salt Lake City, Sunday,. October 8th, 1899, and the local one then being observed. 5 Singing or instrumental music. 6 Historical sketch of the organization of the first Sunday School in 1849. 7 Singing of prize song, "Zion's Sunday School Jubilee Hymn." 8 Reading of paper on the Sunday School movement, illustrating ita growth. 9 Singing, "Thanks for the Sabbath School," (Sunday School Song. Book, page 133.) 536 JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 10. Introduction to the audience, by the bishop, of veteran Sunday School workers present, and the officers and teachers of the school. 11 Brief remarks by a pupil of the theological department (repre- senting the pupils of the school) appreciative of the labors of the officers and teachers. 12 Remarks by bishopric of the ward and others. 13 Singing, "Gather Round the Standard Bearer," (Sunday School Song Book, page 145,) and of the Doxology: "Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow," (Sunday School Song Book, page 200.) 14 Benediction. The reports of the celebrations forwarded to the office of the Union indicate that the exercises rendered were in most instances of a highly interesting and impressive character; and in some cases cer- tain features of the program were of a specially pleasing nature. In a number of schools those who had the work in hand to prepare for the occasion took particular pains to make it one that would be long remembered. Elaborate and tasty decorations of the buildings were made, neat souvenir programs were prepared and printed, some con- taining short historical sketches of the school together with the names of all its officers and teachers both past and present; and former workers in the school who were living were invited to be pres- ent at the celebration as honored guests. As was the case at the general jubilee, badges were furnished to veteran workers in the Sun- day School cause. In many of the schools that had been established for a long period of years the reading of the historical sketches, the naming of deceased officers and teachers, and the presence of former workers and pupils brought to the minds of the older members many pleasing thoughts and vivid recollections of past scenes and inci- dents. A feature of the celebration held in Farmington, Davis Stake, is worthy of special mention. It consisted of a remarkable record in favor of a former class in that school. Nineteen years previously this particular class was composed of fifteen young men. It was shown that these men have since been placed in positions of trust and honor in the Church. At the time of the jubilee two were stake presidents, five were bishops, four were Sunday School super- intendents, two were assistants to stake superintendents of Sunday JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 537 Schools, one was a president of seventies and a professor in one of the stake academies, and the remaining one a faithful worker in the Sunday School cause. Such a showing affords encouragement to the Sunday School worker, and is an impressive lesson as to the value of Sunday School training as a basis for future usefulness. 34 538 JUBILEE HISTORY OP LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS.

JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS. 541 SUNDAY SCHOOL RECORDS DEPOSITED. On November 5, 1900, at a special meeting of the Deseret Sunday School Union Board, at which most of its members were present, a copy of this JUBILEE HISTORY OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS SUNDAY SCHOOLS, and a number of mementos of the general and local Sunday School jubilee celebrations of 1899, such as badges, reports of jubilee proceedings, photographs, etc., together with Sunday School publications, current numbers of local magazines and newspapers, were placed for preservation in a suitably prepared casket. This receptacle was afterwards sealed and deposited in the Salt Lake Temple. The intention is that it shall remain there undis- turbed until the year 1949 the centennial anniversay of the estab- lishment of the first Sunday School in the Rocky Mountain region. With the records was also deposited a letter of greeting addressed to the general Sunday School officers of fifty years hence, and signed by the present members of the Deseret Sunday School Union Board. On the outside of the case containing the records mentioned is an inscription concerning their purport, and a request that the case be opened in 1949, by the general Sunday School authorities of that time.
