Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 92: August 28, 1930 The Latter-day Saints are called Mormons because of their belief in the Book of Mormon. In like manner, the followers of Christ in ancient times were called Christians, because of their belief in Jesus Christ. Both are nicknames. The proper name for the followers of Christ in any age is Saints. Read Paul's epistle to the Romans, and you will find them repeatedly referred to as Saints. We call ourselves Latter-day Saints, not to boast of any superiority over our fellows, but simply to distinguish between ourselves and the Saints of former days. The Gospel of Christ, to all good Christians, is the power of God unto salvation. It is a spiritual life boat or fire escape, a way out of a perilous situation. To the Latter-day Saints it is all that and more. It is the plan of eternal progression, the pathway to perfection, and was instituted as such before man had fallen, before he had need of salvation.
