QUOTE OF THE DAY Lorenzo Snow |
|
"We came into the world for a great purpose, the same as Jesus, our elder brother, to do the will and works of our Father; in this there is peace, joy and happiness, an increase of wisdom, knowledge and the power of God; outside of this are no promised blessings. Thus let us devote ourselves to righteousness, help each and all to be better and happier; do good to all and evil to none; honor God and obey His Priesthood; cultivate and preserve an enlightened conscience and follow the Holy Spirit; faint not, hold fast to what is good, endure to the end, and your cup of joy shall be full even to overflowing, for great shall be your reward for your trials and your sufferings under temptations, your fiery ordeals, your heart yearnings and tears; yea, our God will give you a crown of unfading glory"(Teachings of the Presidents of the Church: Lorenzo Snow, p. 154).

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY October 31, 2021 |
|
1838 - The militia-mob outnumbered the defenders of Far West five-to-one. During the night, the families had gathered their belongings fearing a terrible battle on this day. About eight o’clock, the militia sent a flag of truce and Colonel George Hinkle of the Far West Militia went out to meet it. Colonel Hinkle made a secret truce with them to turn the Prophet Joseph and other Church leaders over to them. General Clark and his men arrived at Far West and joined General Lucas’s army. The militia-mob now numbered between 3500-4000 men surrounding the City of Far West. Towards evening, Colonel Hinkle requested the Prophet Joseph to accompany him to meet with the officers of the militia to work out a truce. The Prophet Joseph, along with Sidney Rigdon, Parley P. Pratt, and others, then accompanied Colonel Hinkle to the camp of the militia. Upon arriving, they were put in chains and arrested as prisoners of war. The men were then insulted, tormented, and threatened by men in the militia-mob. The Prophet records that, “In the evening we had to lie down on the cold ground, surrounded by a strong guard, who were only kept back by the power of God from depriving us of life” (History of the Church, 3:190). |
