HISTORIAN'S OFFICE, Salt Lake City, . President Wilford Woodruff and Counselors Geo. Q. Cannon and Jos. F. Smith. Dear Brethren: The Mss. forwarded from Prof. N. L. Nelson, of the B. Y Academy, has been read and considered. The length of the treatise has required considerable time for proper inspection, and is herewith returned. The Mss. on "Preaching and How to Preach," consists of 715 small pages, divided into more than 100 divisions and sub-divisions, and has besides 400 and odd marginal indices. The following are a few of the captions, etc., over the subjects discussed: "Is there a need for this book?" "Parable of the sacred tree." "Ought preaching to be made a formal study among Latter Day Saints?" Answered affirmatively. "Preaching no more divine than digging canals." "The fosselized Elder and his sermon." "The brain forming process." "The Goodish Preacher." "The Melody of a Sermon." "As a people we are evidently in love with gliettering generalities" "The cow in the bovine paradise." Specific and not general statements urged. "Still grubbing mamong things earthly." "Scope and range of subjects." "The need of profound study." "The art of thinking."
