| SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY 2 Kings 22:13 |
|
Go ye, inquire of the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the Lord that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us.

| QUOTE OF THE DAY Spencer W. Kimball |
“Sometimes it seems we take the scriptures too much for granted because we do not fully appreciate how rare a thing it is to possess them, and how blessed we are because we do have them. We seem to have settled so comfortably into our experiences in this world and become so accustomed to hearing the gospel taught among us that it is hard for us to imagine it could ever have been otherwise” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Spencer W. Kimball, p. 61)

| TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY April 16 |

1839 - In the evening, a guard told them that “I shall take a good drink of grog, and go to bed, and you may do as you have a mind to. Three others of the guards drank pretty freely . . . [and] also went to bed . . . the other guard went along with us, and helped to saddle the horses” (History of the Church, 3:321). After suffering several months in Missouri prisons, Joseph Smith, and those imprisoned with him, are allowed to escape from custody and make their way to Illinois to join their families and the Saints who had been forced to leave Missouri during the previous winter. When the guards returned to Gallatin without the prisoners, they were treated harshly by the citizens. They rode Sheriff William Morgan “on a rail” and ex-sheriff William Bowman “was dragged over the square by the hair of the head” (History of the Church, 3:321) for allowing them to escape. Being escaped prisoners, the Prophet Joseph and his brethren had to keep off the main roads and travel carefully to get out of the State of Missouri safe and alive.
