QUOTE OF THE DAY John Taylor |
|
“We have a right to liberty—that was a right that God gave to all men; and if there has been oppression, fraud or tyranny in the earth, it has been the result of the wickedness and corruptions of men and has always been opposed to God and the principles of truth, righteousness, virtue, and all principles that are calculated to elevate mankind. The Declaration of Independence states that men are in possession of certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This belongs to us; it belongs to all humanity. I wish, and the worst wish I have for the United States, is, that they could have liberality enough to give to all men equal rights” (Journal of Discourses 23:63).

1820: Dawning of the Restoration
What was the world like in 1820? Written to commemorate the bicentennial of the First Vision, this new book introduces the vision and the Restoration of the gospel within a global setting. Seeking to capture the qualities and essential meanings of the age, Richard Bennett explores what he calls the "four dominant constellations in the skies of early nineteenth century history"—namely, revolution and reform, Romanticism, emancipation and independence, and religious revivalism. From Napoleon to Beethoven to Bolivar, 1820: Dawning of the Restoration is a biographical examination of "the year of our Lord 1820" as it broke upon a weary world that was cautiously seeking new hopes, new dreams, and bold new visions—including Joseph Smith's.
