The Parables of James E. Talmage

by Albert L. Zobell Jr. (Editor), James E. Talmage

The Parables of James E. Talmage were found in The Improvement Era beginning in January 1914, but not in consecutive issues. They have been reprinted in the Millennial Star, "The Church News" section of The Deseret News, Liahona-The Elder's Journal, and possibly other periodicals of the Church. To me the Parables are as vital and enjoyable as the day they were written. And now, to Helen and John, the surviving children (in 1973), of Dr. Many thanks for having such a wonderful teacher as a father, and I do appreciate the opportunity of placing his Parables again in print.

I have always enjoyed the apocryphal account of someone asking Albert Einstein what it was like to be the smartest man in the world. Albert Einstein is said to have replied, "I don't know. Go ask James E. Talmage."

Talmage is the most intelligent man I have ever had the good fortune to learn about. A joy to read.

Great stories. I will keep them in mind for talks and/or lessons.
