“No unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God […]

I enjoyed seeing the new MormonAds every month growing up in the New Era. So I thought it would be fun to put up a few from the Chinese Liahona. See all the thumbnails here. 摩門信息 Enjoy!
I found a little church pamphlet at a used book store called “You are called to Serve” 因此你被召喚去服務 printed in 1969. The curious thing about it is that the scripture references inside refer to the Doctrine & Covenants as 聖教義和約言. A little different then we now know. Check it out:
I came across a page in an early edition of the Chinese 聖徒之聲 “Voice of the Saints” that has a well known quote by Heber J. Grant. I believe the quote is attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson, but President Grant used the quote quite frequently. “That which we persist in doing becomes easy to do; not because the […]
Good things to come? http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2010/10/13/101976/chinese-communist-party-elders.html Here is the full text of the open letter sent my the “Chinese Elders”. In English and Chinese. Interesting stuff. http://cmp.hku.hk/2010/10/13/8035/
聖徒之聲 I was able to scan in from Microfiche the first issue of the ShengTu ZhiSheng ( Voice of the Saints). The scan is poor but very readable. The pdf has been processed through OCR, so it should be fairly searchable although I doubt it was very accurate. You can download it here. Enjoy.
The Church is looking for anyone with language skills to help translate phrases and text for use with its new website. Currently they are only looking for Chinese, German, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish with more languages being added all the time. They translation needs are simple phrases and text and each assignment is small and […]

教義和聖約 20:77 Current 神啊，永恆的父，我們奉您子耶穌基督的名，祈求您為所有領受此餅之人的靈魂，祝福並聖化此餅，讓他們食用，以記得您子的身體，並向您，神啊，永恆的父，證明他們願意承受您子的名，一直記得祂，並遵守祂賜給他們的誡命，使他們能一直有祂的靈與他們同在。阿們。 1st Edition 1974 上帝，永恆的父，我們奉祢子耶穌基督的名，祈求祢為所有領受此餅之人的靈魂，祝福此餅並使之成聖，使他們得食之，以紀念祢子的身體；並向祢，上帝，永恆的父，證明他們願意承受祢子的名，常常記念祂，並遵守祂賜給他們的誡命，使他們得以常有祂的靈與他們同在。阿們。 Gospel Dialogue 1965 永恆的父上帝， 我們奉祢子耶穌基督的名， 祈求祢為所有領受此餅之人的靈魂， 祝福此餅，並使之成聖； 使他們得食之以紀念祢子的身體，並向祢證明， 他們願意承受祢子的名，永遠記念祂，並遵守祂賜的誡命；使他們因而得有祂的靈，常與他們同在。阿們。 It looks as the church is finally getting away from the term ShangDi (上帝). What do you think about the change? The other change I find interesting is the move from the “祢” (ni) to the more formal […]
Since I have in my possession a first edition copy of the chinese Book of Mormon, I thought it might be fun to compare the original translation with the final version used until 2007 with the newest translation in use today. I thought the best scripture to start off the comparison was Moroni’s promise in Moroni 10:3-5. As this […]
