SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Doctrine and Covenants 121:34-36 |
|
Behold, there are many called, but few are chosen. And why are they not chosen? Because their hearts are set so much upon the things of this world, and aspire to the honors of men, that they do not learn this one lesson—That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness. |

QUOTE OF THE DAY David O. McKay |
|
“No member of this Church, no husband or father, has the right to utter an oath in his home, or ever to express a cross word to his wife or to his children. By your ordination and your responsibility, you cannot do it as a man who holds the priesthood and be true to the spirit within you. You contribute to an ideal home by your character, controlling your passion, your temper, guarding your speech, because those things will make your home what it is, and what it will radiate to the neighborhood. You do what you can to produce peace and harmony, no matter what you may suffer” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: David O McKay, p. 119).

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY November 23, 2020 |
|
1843 - The Prophet Joseph Smith met in council at his “old house,” known as the Homestead, and then walked down to the river. He “suggested the idea of petitioning Congress for a grant to make a canal over the falls, or a dam to turn the water to the city, so that we might erect mills and other machinery” (History of the Church, 6:80). In 1877, the government did build a canal with three locks to overcome the navigation problems of the Des Moines rapids. In the early 1900's a series of dams were built on the Mississippi River, including one built at Keokuk, Iowa, about twelve miles south of Nauvoo which stands today. Construction on U.S. Lock and Dam #19 began in 1910, and when completed in 1913, it was the largest electrical generating plant in the world. Lock 19 is the largest lock on the Mississippi and is on the National Register of Historic places.
