Excerpt from Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 39: Organ of the Deseret Sunday School Union; February 1, 1904Many caves may still be seen among those cliffs which were used by hermits fourteen hundred years ago. We have all heard the story of how St. Saba, having tired of the world made a cave in this desolate spot his home, was joined by others, a brotherhood organized, and about the year A. D. 500 a convent founded.Among these caves is one known as the Cavern of Skulls where hundreds of monks have perished while defending the place from those who coveted their hoard ed wealth, At the present time there are less than a hundred monks at this place, but it is said during the time of St. Saba there were fully twelve thousand of them. They entered as penitents, became as it were dead to this life, dead to progression, and renounced everything that' would tend to give enjoyment and happiness, took oaths never to love'a woman or even to look at one, never to listen to the prat tle of children, but to keep all the sun shine out from their lives and allow their souls to be filled with darkness and gloom. Women are forbidden, under. All circum stances, to enter the enclosure.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 47: May, 1912Winter Quarters, on the Missouri, was all bustle and excitement. Through the latter part of the winter of 1847 and, especially the early spring of 1848, the feeling of unrest had grown to be something that could no more be restrained than an avalanche coming down a steep mountain.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 44: March 1, 1909A crowd of men were standing before the little log meeting-house on the Big Blue. It was Sunday, as you could see by the tidied appear ance of them all, and meeting had just let out. In a pioneer district, such as western Missouri was in 1833, everything gets itself talked over on the front steps of the meet ing - house, if it has front steps, or on the sunny side in the winter time - but almost never in the meet ing-house. And so it being a fine October morning, these men had come out to exchange views.Not over a trivial matter, either. There was no farmer Jones present to inquire about farmer Owen's sick cow and to prescribe fresh remedy. Nor had anybody come here to swap horses. Not a man in that crowd believed in bargaining on the Sab bath day. A weightier matter bore down on the minds of these hardy frontiersmen.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
