SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Doctrine and Covenants 97:14-16 |
|
That they may be perfected in the understanding of their ministry, in theory, in principle, and in doctrine, in all things pertaining to the kingdom of God on the earth, the keys of which kingdom have been conferred upon you. And inasmuch as my people build a house unto me in the name of the Lord, and do not suffer any unclean thing to come into it, that it be not defiled, my glory shall rest upon it; Yea, and my presence shall be there, for I will come into it, and all the pure in heart that shall come into it shall see God.

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY June 11, 2021 |
|
1839 - Around this time, the first home built by a Latter-day Saint in Commerce, soon to be Nauvoo, a log structure, was built by Theodore Turley. The Prophet began to dictate his history to his clerk, James Mulholland. He recorded this description of his new home in Illinois: “The land was mostly covered with trees and bushes, and much of it so wet that it was with the utmost difficulty a footman could get through, and totally impossible for teams. Commerce was so unhealthful, very few could live there; but believing that it might become a healthful place by the blessing of heaven to the Saints, and no more eligible place presenting itself, I considered it wisdom to make an attempt to build up a city” (History of the Church, 3:375).
