Circular to the YMMIA, 15 December 1895
SALT LAKE CITY, .
To the Officers and Members of the
Young Men's Mutual Improvement
Associations throughout Zion:
Dear Brethren—There have already
been issued and distributed among the
Stakes of Zion 17,500 copies of the
Mutual Improvement Association
Manual, Part I, and still there is a de-
mand for this work for use among new
members of these associations. There
is also a call for a compilation of ad-
vanced lessons of Manual, Part II,
which have been and will continue to
be published in the Contributor.
Through the failure of the young
men in paying their annual fifty cent
donations the General Superintend-
ency are unable to publish and distrib-
ute free these works, upon which the
success of the associations so greatly
depends.
Under the pressing circumstances it
is deemed advisable to secure the pub-
lication of a new edition of Manual,
Part I, and a pamphlet containing
twelve lessons in each of the subjects
planned for Manual, Part II.
The Contributor Co., therefore, act-
ing under our approval and advice,
will issue another edition of Part I of
the Manual, which they will sell the
associations at twenty-five cents (25c.)
per copy postpaid, with reasonable re-
duction in quantities.
They will also issue for the use of
the associations which have completed
Part I, and need some more advanced
studies, a pamphlet containing the
first twelve (12) lessons in each of the
subjects planned for Part II. This
will be sold at fifteen cents (15c.) per
copy, postpaid.
Both of these pamphlets will be on
sale at the Contributor Office, Salt
Lake City, where they can be ob-
tained at any time after December 26,
1894.
We hope the young men will take
an interest in these lessons and pur-
chase them regularly, thus acquiring a
fund of information which will be use-
ful to them in the ministry, either at
home or abroad.
Your Brethren in the Gospel,
WILFORD WOODRUFF,
JOSEPH F. SMITH,
MOSES THATCHER.
