The Bishop's Message
Hello Again!
Here is a sweet book put together by Grandpa while he was Bishop. You can buy a hard copy of the book, or download from Scribd for free to print yourself...
"It is my hope and desire that my posterity will cherish these precious truths and mould them into their characters for good.
The fact that good ideas and thoughts may have belonged to someone else does not lesson their value. If they are good they are good they should be used many times until we get possession of them.
Sincerely, NAS"

P.S. Here is another word of advice from Grandpa!!!!
GET THEE UP
An explorer was once traveling through a cold Arctic winter night. He was not particularly uncomfortable, but as he proceeded he felt a sluggish, drowsy feeling coming over him. He decided to lie down and rest. Then all of a sudden he realized he was freezing to death. The thought so startled him that he got up and began to run with all his might. The excitement and vigorous exertion quickened the heart action, and he soon had a good supply of warm blood circulating through his body. Then the danger was past. His life had been saved because he "gat up" and increased his activity.
This experience has its counterpart in our spiritual affairs. It is the inspired formula of Isaiah, "Get thee up — be illuminated." Be active. Use your talents to the utmost.

Easter Message from Grandpa Nathaniel Smith
This is a picture of Linda, Cathy, Cherry, Lydia and Nathaniel taken one Easter in the early 1960s.EASTER
Each Easter we participate with the world in the observance of the resurrection of the Christ. Christianity has taken over Easter and applied it to the resurrection. Yet in spite of that, many Christians today still do not accept the resurrection as a fact, but the true Christian concept is that Jesus died an the cross. His body was carefully and tenderly placed in the tomb, and while it lay there, his immortal personal spirit went, as Peter said, and preached to the spirits in prison which were disobedient in the days of Noah.
On the third day after the crucifixion his spirit re-entered the body and the glorified Christ came forth from the tomb once again a personage of spirit and flesh, no mare subject to death. The resurrection was so real that he could eat food and be handled and felt.
So as we celebrate Easter, let us recall, if we will, that to us Jesus is the Christ. He had power over death. He is the author of the resurrection; and as he was resurrected, so all other human beings will be resurrected in their own time and according to their obedience to the gospel while here.
