BRIGHAM YOUNG

BY LEVI EDGAR YOUNG, OF THE GENERAL BOARD Y. M. M. I. A.

Through the courtesy of the General Boards M. I. A., the joint M. I. A. programs for Sunday, June 1, are to be devoted to the life and work of President Brigham Young, by the Mutual Improvement Associations. It is recommended that suitable music be prepared, including the rendering of the hymn. "Come, come, ye Saints." Officers should choose some good speakers to give different phases of the life of the Founder of Utah. The following topics are suggestive:

Brigham Young as a leader of his people; as a statesman; as a colonizer; as a prophet of God.

Or, let some one give a lecture on the Life of Brigham Young and take up the entire time. The following will give some good ideas as to his work:

As Colonizer

David Starr Jordan has said that "Stability of national character goes with foot-hold on the soil," and Theodore Roosevelt has declared that, "Throughout our history, the success of the home-maker has been but another name for the upbuilding of the nation." Brigham Young first directed his people to the reclamation of the soil, for, said he, "Agriculture is the highest safeguard to all good government, and the surest means for building of civic, social, and intellectual life." The only self-sufficient vocation of man is that of working the earth and utilizing its products in human society. The colonists of Utah in the very early period of the state's history were forced, like all frontier societies, to the soil; and as products of the land exceeded home supply, markets grew up as a result. All this necessitated the building of roads and bridges, which in time became great highways of commerce and trade. In this regard, Brigham Young's colonizing schemes were eminently successful, and may be called scientific.
