QUOTE OF THE DAY Ezra Taft Benson |
|
“Let us rededicate ourselves to the lofty principles and practices of those wise men whom God raised up to give us our priceless freedom. Our liberties, our salvation, our well-being as a church and as a nation depend upon it. This nation has a spiritual foundation—a prophetic history. Every true Latter-day Saint should love the United States of America—the most generous nation under heaven—the Lord’s base of operations in these last days. May we do all in our power to strengthen and safeguard this base and increase our freedom. This nation will, I feel sure, endure. It is God-ordained for a glorious purpose. We must never forget that the gospel message we bear to the world is to go forth to the world from this nation. And that gospel message can prosper only in an atmosphere of freedom. We must maintain and strengthen our freedom in this blessed land” (“This Nation Shall Endure,” BYU Devotional, December 4, 1973).

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY April 16, 2021 |
|
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.
