QUOTE OF THE DAY Gordon B. Hinckley |
|
“Let us be true disciples of the Christ, observing the Golden Rule, doing unto others as we would have them do unto us. Let us strengthen our own faith and that of our children while being gracious to those who are not of our faith. Love and respect will overcome every element of animosity. Our kindness may be the most persuasive argument for that which we believe” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Gordon B. Hinckley, p. 279).

1878 - Lightning strikes the tower of the St. George Temple and damages it slightly. Local folklore tells us that President Brigham Young did not like the height of the tower on the Temple when he dedicated it. He thought it was too short. He died in 1877 and the lightning strike the next year required the tower to be rebuilt-this time more to President Young’s desired height.
