ABSTRACT
1970
L
church
of
jesus
chri
st
of
latter
day
saints
during
the
years
christ
the
1852
1877
introduced
to
its
membership
a
form
of
rhetoric
writing
18521877
system
called
the
deseret
alphabet
phonetic
alphabet
this
experi-
ment
was intended
to
alleviate
the
problem
of non-
communication
which
noncommunication
was
created
by
the
great
influx of
foreign
speaking
saints
into
the
great
salt
lake
valley
developed
and
encouraged
by
the
prophet
brigham
young
and a
few
followers
much
to
their
dismay
the
members
of
the
church
did
not
have
the
same vision
of
its
workability
as
did
its
pro-
the
alphabet
was
moters
new
alphabet
appears
not
to
have
metthe
needs
of
the
people
met
the
meb
nor
did
it
interest
them
its
use
and
development
was
hindered
by
temple
building
farming settling
new
doctrine
and
possibly
little
faith
in following
their
prophet
president
and
leader
the
deseret
presid
ent
alphabet
died
with
brigham
young
in
1877
yet
it
appears
to
have
been
a
noble
experiment
towards
a
sp
elling
reform
perhaps
it
would
spelling
have worked
under
diff
erent
situations
and
