I have something that might work for that, if something from the 1950s would work. My grandparents were Jewish and given a tract by the missionaries with the 5 or 6 things every Jew should know about Mormonism. As I am unpacking I will keep an eye out for it. (Since I couldn’t get around in our old house, I wasn’t the one to pack up my desk/office space/genealogy shelf, and I have a notebook and several Manila envelopes that haven’t surfaced yet.

I’m glad you enjoyed it, Dustin, and thanks for being one of those who submitted an entry. This worked well enough that I’m on the lookout for other things that could be made into contests.

How interesting to read the actual selections from that old book. A great idea to hold the contest and a lot of fun. Thanks!

Congrats Paul!

There are some that I see now and wonder how I missed them. I am amazed that I was able to get even a few right. Thanks for the fun of guessing!

I love X.

These are worth memorizing for lessons.

*Applause* for Paul!

I should’ve channelled kids more and mom-of-kids less. I had Eden on my list and changed it at the last minute before I submitted. The initial caps are beautiful, and I’d love a scan of them. I guess from 1923 they are public domain?

Thanks, Ardis for some bloggernacle fun during a stressed week.

I stopped by Deseret Book this afternoon on the off chance that Women of Faith in the Latter Days, vol. 2 was on the shelf, and it was! I can put Paul's copy in the mail as soon as he responds to my email asking about his address, and I'll have a review up early next week. Yippee!

Well done, Paul! Very enlightening to read this. It’s been busy at work and after my initial somewhat snarky response, I never was able to get back to it, and I avoided reading everyone’s answers so as not to be influenced by them. I look back now, and suspect that I would have only gotten two or three correct. Still, fun to think about and read both everyone’s answers and the original.
