| Summary | "Saturday Night Thoughts" by Orson F. Whitney is a collection of essays on spiritual, historical, and philosophical themes written in the early 20th century. This work was originally published as a series of articles in the Deseret Evening News during a time of social upheaval caused by the influenza epidemic, aiming to provide spiritual reflection to those missing their Sunday services. The essays explore the relationship between spirituality and history, particularly focusing on the teachings of Joseph Smith and the broader context of Latter-day Saint beliefs. The beginning of "Saturday Night Thoughts" sets the stage by emphasizing the symbolic nature of Saturday as a time of preparation for the Sabbath, reflecting on the cycles of life and history. Whitney introduces various themes, such as the importance of spiritual readiness and the notion that current turmoil serves as a house-cleaning process leading to a promised time of peace, correlating this preparation to the significance of the seventh day. The text poses profound questions about existence, divine revelation, and the role of prophets in guiding humanity, ultimately framing the discourse for the subsequent discussions throughout the volume.
