Excerpt from Young Men's Mutual Improvement Associations Manual for Junior Classes, 1904-1905: Subject, the Ancient Prophets (Continued)

This Manual is a continuation of last year's, and the general arrangement is the same. There are twenty lessons in all, twelve from the Old Testament and eight from the Book of Mormon. The notes and questions are gathered in a body and put at the end of the lessons.

In addition to giving the principal facts in the lives of the men discussed here, we have attempted to maintain a continuous thread of historical narrative in the Jewish and Nephite nations respectively. In other words, we have made a background for the characters from the general conditions prevailing at the time they lived. But these historical materials have been crowded into such a small compass that we fear the young men may experience, in a few instances, a little difficulty in getting a clear understanding of some of these lessons. This however, was altogether unavoidable, and the trouble will be easily overcome by thorough preparation on the part of the teacher.

Since the last eight lessons are devoted to characters taken from the Book of Mormon, and since the greater part of this ancient record will be pretty well covered in the study of this part of the Manual, it may not be out of place to call attention to a point which should be kept in mind as the lessons are considered. In the past it has sometimes been the case that our young people have entertained more or less extravagant notions concerning Nephite civilization, colonization, and extent of empire. Such ideas have arisen partly from the fact that the language in which this divine record comes to us is composed of words which in some instances bear larger connotations for us in our highly complex state of society than they would have when applied to the conditions of life that prevailed among the ancient inhabitants of America.
