| SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY 1 Samuel 16:7 |
|
But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.

| QUOTE OF THE DAY Howard W. Hunter |
“Realizing who we are and what we may become assures us that with God nothing is really impossible. From the time we learn that Jesus wants us for a Sunbeam through the time we learn more fully the basic principles of the gospel, we are taught to strive for perfection. It is not new to us, then, to talk of the importance of achievement. The difficulty arises when inflated expectations of the world alter the definition of greatness. What is true greatness? True greatness [comes from] the thousands of little deeds and tasks of service and sacrifice that constitute the giving, or losing, of one’s life for others and for the Lord” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Howard W. Hunter, p. 158).

1844 - The Nauvoo City Council meets from “10 a. m., to 1:20 p. m., and from 2:20 p. m. to 6:30 p. m. investigating the merits of the Nauvoo Expositor. An ordinance was passed by the city council against libels, an act was passed calling the Expositor a public nuisance, and the mayor was ordered to immediately have the nuisance removed. The mayor, Joseph Smith, then orders the marshal to destroy the press. “About 8 p. m., the Marshal returned and reported that he had removed the press, type, printed paper, and fixtures into the street, and destroyed them” (History of the Church, 6:432). These actions would lead to the arrest of Joseph and Hyrum Smith and their death in Carthage, Illinois.
