WHO IS WELLSPRING PUBLISHING AND DISTRIBUTING? Wellspring Publishing was one of the original founders of the LDS Booksellers Association as an early publishing company of inspirational material for the LDS market. It was started in 1980 with the publishing of poetry and framable prints of the Monuments to Womanhood dedicated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Nauvoo, Illinois. The company originated in Concord, CA by Gene and Marsha Newman and later moved to Sandy, UT, where it is still headquartered. The name “Wellspring” was inspired by a speech given by President Spencer W. Kimball in which he said that there is a wellspring of creativity in the church; the best books have yet to be written, and the best songs to be sung. Reasoning that their products were designed to be a part of that creativity, they named their new publishing company Wellspring Publishing and Distributing. In the course of 35 years, the company has produced books, pamphlets, bookmarks, the Latter-day Woman Magazine, and distributed many beautiful fine art prints. Many of those books are still available in print, more particularly the novels and books of poetry by Marsha Newman. These include "Joseph and Emma: A Love Story, Vol. 1 & 2, The Lightning and the Storm, A Love Beyond Time, Fire and Glory; The Millennial Story, Reflections of Eve and Her Daughters, and She Shall Be Called Woman." In 1982 Wellspring branched out into the field of greeting cards to fill a growing demand. Their efforts have proven enduring with the first issue of “Little Saints” cards – which are still being reprinted today – and the highly popular “Art Cards,” featuring the works of Del Parson along with other religious artists. Subjects include Baptism, Missionary, Temple Marriage, Endowment, Temple Sealing, Ordination, Friendship, Sympathy, and Eagle Scout cards. Offering nearly 400 cards of various styles over the years, Wellspring Publishing can still easily stock a 72 or 96 pocket display rack for all your needs pertaining to religious and inspirational greetings. This online website has been designed to allow you to order according to your wants and needs. We hope you will enjoy the selection of the finest inspirational cards on the market and contact us by email or an online order.

America has carried this torch of Liberty for more than a century. We must never let it go out!

On this day in 1886, the Statue of Liberty is dedicated by President Grover Cleveland. It was then called Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World. It was a gift from the people of France.

The idea for the statue first came from Edouard de Laboulaye, a French political thinker, in 1865. He proposed that a statue representing liberty be given to the United States for its centennial birthday. It took a few years to get started, but eventually a French sculptor, Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi, took on the task of creating the statue.

Bartholdi had help from several architects and engineers. The statue was built in France and presented to the American minister there. Afterwards, it was taken apart and shipped to America in 350 separate parts.

Would you believe that it took 214 crates to ship the Statue of Liberty across the Atlantic? Bartholdi traveled to America with his creation and oversaw its reassembly during 1886.

At around this same time, a woman by the name of Emma Lazarus wrote a poem about the many immigrants who have come to our shores in search of freedom. “The New Colossus” was donated to an auction raising funds for construction of the Statue’s pedestal. Unfortunately, the poem did not raise as much money as auction planners had hoped. Along with a handful of other drawings and manuscripts, it sold for only $1,500.

When Lazarus died a few years later, her poem was considered so inconsequential that it was not even mentioned in her obituary.

The poem gained in prominence over time. Today, the closing lines of the poem have come to hold great meaning, especially for the many immigrants who came to America in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

In 1903, the poem was inscribed on a plaque and affixed to the statue’s pedestal. The poem closes:

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

The Statue of Liberty was designated as a National Monument in 1924 during the Calvin Coolidge administration.

Oddly, you have to look pretty hard on the official Statue of Liberty website to find the text of the poem, or even very much discussion of it.
