QUOTE OF THE DAY Joseph Fielding Smith |
|
“The founders of this nation were men of humble faith. Many of them saw in vision a glorious destiny for our government, provided we would faithfully continue in the path of justice and right with contrite spirits and humble hearts, accepting the divine truths which are found in the Holy Scriptures. The appeal of these men has echoed down the passing years with prophetic warning to the succeeding generations, pleading with them to be true to all these standards which lay at the foundation of our government. This country was founded as a Christian nation, with the acceptance of Jesus Christ as the Redeemer of the world.” (“Blessed Is the Nation Whose God Is the Lord” p. 274).

1844 - Governor Ford of Illinois arrived in Carthage, Illinois, in the morning and immediately sent a letter to the Prophet Joseph informing him that he had heard some strong statements concerning the recent acts of the Mayor and City Council. He asked that a messenger be sent to him to lay out their side of the story. Mayor Joseph Smith then called for a meeting of the City Council at 4 p. m.. The City Council gathered the affidavits collected over the last few days and sent them to Governor Ford with Dr. J. M. Bernhisel and City Council member John Taylor. Additional affidavits were gathered to be sent the next day.
