Letter from Niels Christian Christiansen, 11 May 1892
TO THE
First Presidency of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
My Dear Brethren:
For a number of years past my mind has been running in the
direction as indicated in the enclosed circular.
Realizing to some extent the great anxiety of yourselves and
the Priesthood and people generally, respecting the often asked and vexed
question: "What shall we do with our boys," I, your humble servant, respectfully
ask your sanction to go forth among our people, from Ward to Ward and from place
to place, to advocate my theory, as a partial solution of the important question.
Your excellent and timely remarks upon this subject at the
Salt Lake Stake Conference, held March 2nd, 1891, and subsequently at the General
Conference held October 6th, 1891, the last named being a Priesthood meeting, and
the great desire I have to do good, is the incentive for me addressing you thus.
Very [r]eespectfully your Brother,
Nis C. Christiansen
