"Gems for the Young Folks" by Various is a collection of narratives aimed at the instruction and encouragement of young members of the Latter-day Saint community, written in the late 19th century. This volume is part of a "Faith-Promoting Series," which includes personal accounts that highlight the principles of faith, perseverance, and the experiences of early Church members. Through its stories, the book likely aims to share valuable life lessons and spiritual insights that resonate with the challenges faced by the youth. At the start of the work, the preface outlines the intent behind this collection, emphasizing the importance of preserving the accounts of early Church Elders for future generations. The opening portion introduces the narrative "Finding a Father," recounting the early life of Abraham A. Kimball, who experiences significant hardships including the early loss of his mother and struggles with familial relationships. The story details his journey from fear and prejudice against "Mormons" to ultimately seeking out and embracing his father, Heber C. Kimball, reflecting themes of faith, identity, and reconciliation. As Kimball's experiences unfold, readers are drawn into the trials and spiritual growth that shape his understanding of family and faith. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
