SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Omni 1:26 And now, my beloved brethren, I would that ye should come unto Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel, and partake of his salvation, and the power of his redemption.

QUOTE OF THE DAY Ezra Taft Benson |
|
“We are meeting the adversary every day. The challenges of this era will rival any of the past, and these challenges will increase both spiritually and temporally. We must be close to Christ, we must daily take His name upon us, always remember Him, and keep His commandments” (“Come unto Christ,” October 1987 General Conference).

1845 - Two brethren charged with the destruction of the Nauvoo Expositor press were tried before Judge Purple. Jesse P.

Thus fulfilled the prophecy of the Prophet Joseph that nothing would harm the men involved in the destruction of the press.
