QUOTE OF THE DAY

Joseph F. Smith

"If you love the truth, if you have received the gospel in your hearts and love it, your intelligence will be added upon; your understanding of truth will be expanded, larger than in any other way. Truth is the thing, above all other things in the world, that makes men free—free from indolence and carelessness, free from the fearful consequences of neglect, for it will be a fearful consequence, if we neglect our duty before the living God. If you will learn the truth and walk in the light of truth you shall be made free from the errors of men … ; you will be above suspicion and above wrong-doing of every description. God will approve of you and bless you and your inheritances, and make you prosper and flourish like a green bay tree" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph F. Smith, p. 314).

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY

May 16

1834 - Zion’s Camp is nearing the Ohio-Indiana state border. While traveling on this date at about 9:00 am, the Prophet said he felt “much depressed in spirit” and that “there had been a great deal of bloodshed in that place.” They then came upon a large mound sixty feet high containing human bones, now part of a farm and covered with apple trees. Some of the brethren expressed some fear about milk sickness that many people along their route had. The Prophet told them not to fear and that if they were obedient no sickness would infect the camp.
