Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints Millennial Star, Vol. 1: October, 1840 Let all the Elders remember the preface to Luke's gospel, and inas much as they also have a perfect understanding of those things which are daily occurring in their midst, let them write them as he did, and then, bye and bye, when the Lord will, there will be very little diliicdlty'in collect ing the histories of the different El ders, and of compiling them in one, thus forming a more full and explicit history of the Church in the last days than we have of the days of Christ and the Apostles. The gospels by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and J ohn are the histories of their lives, and of the things which they saw and heard, and of events which they were familiar with in their day; also, the Acts of the Apostles is a history of the Apostles; and this is the kind of his tory that we desire should be prepar ing concerning the servants and the work of God, at the present time.
