Introduction

The following series of radio presentations broadcast in 1938 by President Frederick M. Smith of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are made available in the hope that they will be given consideration in light of present day world conditions. We believe that the ideas and ideals represented here are of great worth and benefit to all those who are serious about implementing the gospel of Jesus Christ in their lives. The series clearly shows the need for a people whose dedication and commitment to the Lord, with regard to the building up of His Kingdom on earth [Zion], is paramount above all else. We commend this series to you and invite further inquiry by contacting any of the General Church officers via e-mail or in writing at the Church offices.
