Excerpt from Lesson for Youth: Designed as Aids to the Proper Understanding of the Scriptures I met with another hinderance to the understanding of the Scriptures that gave me considerable trouble, which was from the teachings of others, viz.: "That the Old Testament was fulfilled, and simply applied to or belonged to the Jews as a nation (or tribe), and that therefore we had nothing to do with it, and that there never was any Church until John and Jesus Christ set it up (or organized it) at Jerusalem, and the day of Pentecost had passed." This notion, with other ideas taught by some people, perplexed my mind in my efforts to understand the Scriptures. II. My Observations upon the proper understanding of the Scriptures by the majority of the people have resulted in the conviction that a few - only a few - of those who read the Scriptures know how to read them so as to understand the doctrines taught in them. My observations have resulted in another conviction, viz.: That if I can impart to others the knowledge that I needed myself while young, to aid them in understanding the Scriptures, I should afford them that aid, and I therefore offer the preceding as an introduction to what may follow.
