| SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY 2 Nephi 2:27 |
|
Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself.

| QUOTE OF THE DAY Joseph Fielding Smith |
“We came here to be tested and proved by coming in contact with evil as well as the good. … The Father has permitted Satan and his hosts to tempt us, but by the guidance of the Spirit of the Lord and the commandments given through revelation, we are prepared to make our choice. If we do evil, we have been promised that we will be punished; if we do good, we will receive the eternal reward of righteousness.This mortal probation [is] a brief period, just a short span linking the eternity past with the eternity future. Yet it [is] a period of tremendous importance. … This life is the most vital period in our eternal existence” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Fielding Smith, p. 66-67).

| 1844 - At daybreak, Joseph, Hyrum, Dr. Richards, and Orrin P. Rockwell arrived on the Iowa side of the Mississippi River. Orrin P. Rockwell was sent back to Nauvoo to bring horses for travel over the river the next night. A posse arrived in Nauvoo to arrest Joseph, but not finding him they returned to Carthage. At 1 p. m. Emma sent over Orrin P. Rockwell and Reynolds Cahoon with a letter entreating Joseph to return home. Cahoon informed Joseph of the Governors promise to protect him while he went through a legal and fair trial. He, along with others, accused Joseph of cowardice and leaving the Saints to be destroyed by the mobs. Joseph replied, “If my life is of no value tomy friends it is of none to myself.” 6:546).
