| QUOTE OF THE DAY John Taylor |
“And how is it, brethren? Are we Scandinavians; are we English; are we Scotch, Swiss or Dutch, as the case may be? No; the Spirit of God, which we obtained through obedience to the requirements of the gospel, having been born again, of the water and of the Spirit, has made us of one heart, one faith, one baptism; we have no national or class divisions of that kind among us” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: John Taylor, p. 24).

| TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY June 16 |
|
1844 - The Prophet Joseph addresses the Saints in Nauvoo twice—once in the morning and again in the afternoon. He discusses the nature of God and the plurality of Gods saying, “Where was there ever a son without a father? And where was there ever a father without first being a son?” (History of the Church, 6:476). He concludes by saying, “It is in the order of heavenly things that God should always send a new dispensation into the world when men have apostatized from the truth and lost the priesthood. . . . I have got all the truth which the Christian world possessed, and an independent revelation in the bargain, and God will bear me off triumphant” (History of the Church, 6:478-479). In the afternoon he instructed them to “keep cool, and prepare their arms for defense of the city” (History of the Church, 6:479). He meets with several people from outside the City of Nauvoo and answers their questions concerning the Nauvoo Expositor situation. He wrote a letter to Governor Ford of Illinois for personal intervention in trying to stay the mobs gathering in Warsaw and Carthage and to support the Saints in their constitutional rights in the current crisis.
