"This study addresses the question of how and when Latter-day Saints have invoked the name of Jesus when closing their sermons. In order to elucidate the patterns of Latter-day Saint sermons I have evaluated the closing statements of sermons from the shorthand records, those published in the Journal of Discourses and in the Conference Report, and sermons from two recently available collections of women’s sermons. Evident from these data is that Latter-day Saints have not always closed their discourses in the name of Jesus Christ, and how they have invoked this name in closing has varied dramatically with time. Moreover, the most common contemporary forms of invocation are developmentally modern, arising in the latter half of the twentieth century. The evolutionary patterns in this development shed important light on the performative elements of the Latter-day Saint sermon and the development of emergent norms in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints."
