| SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Doctrine and Covenants 68:25,28 |
|
And again, inasmuch as parents have children in Zion, or in any of her stakes which are organized, that teach them not to understand the doctrine of repentance, faith in Christ the Son of the living God, and of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of the hands, when eight years old, the sin be upon the heads of the parents. And they shall also teach their children to pray, and to walk uprightly before the Lord.

| QUOTE OF THE DAY Harold B. Lee |
“Greater emphasis on the teaching of the children in the home by the parents was brought forth in what we call the family home evening program. This was not new. … In the last epistle written to the Church by President Brigham Young and his Counselors, it was urged that parents bring their children together and teach them the gospel in the home frequently. So family home evening has been urged ever since the Church was established in this dispensation” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Harold B. Lee, p. 125).

1844 - Joseph and Hyrum Smith, along with a group of brethren, leave Nauvoo at 6:30 a. m. for Carthage. As they arrived at the Temple, Joseph looked with admiration on it and the city and remarked, “This is the loveliest place and the best people under the heavens; little do they know the trials that await them” (History of the Church, 6:554). At 10 a. m., they arrived at the Fellows’ farm four mile west of Carthage where they met Captain Dunn and sixty mounted militia, who presented a letter from Governor Ford requesting that they return to Nauvoo to collect the arms owned by the State of Illinois that had been loaned to the Nauvoo Legion. Upon seeing this company coming towards them, the Prophet said, “Do not be alarmed, brethren, for they cannot do more to you than the enemies of truth did to the ancient Saints—they can only kill the body” (History of the Church, 6:554-555).
