'What
Is This Thing
That Men Call Death'
What is
this
thing
That men call death,
This quiet passing in the night?
'Tis not the end, but genesis
Of better worlds and greater light.
O God,
touch
thou my aching heart,
And calm my troubled,
Haunting fears.
Let hope and faith,
Transcendent, pure,
Give strength and peace
Beyond my tears.
There is
no death,
But only change,
With recompense for vict'ry won.
The gift of him
Who loved all men,
The Son of God,
The Holy One.

"After pitching our tents we lay down
on the ground to get some sleep and rest. In the night the tents
all
blew over. It was all ice and snow where I was laying, and when
the
tents blew off I didn't wake up I was so
tired. One man came and looked at me.
He called some more men over saying, 'I wonder if she is dead?'
He
patted me on the head and just then I opened my eyes. He jumped
back.
I tried to raise my head but found that my hair was frozen to the
ground.
They chopped the ice all around my hair, and I got up and went over to
the
fire and melted the large pieces of ice that were clinging to my hair,"

They wanted to
create
"a city on a hill" or a "holy experiment," whose success would prove
that God's plan for his churches could be successfully realized in the
American wilderness...."as plantations of religion."....On the occasion
of the Church's centennial in 1930, the First Presidency declared: "It
was not by chance that the Puritans left their native land and sailed
away to the shores of New England, and that others followed later. They
were the advance guard of the army of the Lord, [foreordained] to
establish the God-given system of government under which we live … and
prepare the way for the restoration of the Gospel of Christ."...
