Deuteronomy 17:19-20

"And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the Lord his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them: that his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel."

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Harold B. Lee

"We develop our spiritual selves by practice. . . . We must train our spiritual selves with the same care, if we are to be fully developed, as we train our physical bodies. We must have daily exercise by our spirits by prayer, by doing daily good deeds, by sharing with others. We must feed our spirits daily by studying the scriptures every day, by [family home evening], by attendance at meetings, by the partaking of the sacrament" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Harold B. Lee, p. 176).

1942 - Lucy Gates Bowen, a grand-daughter of Brigham Young, christens the SS Brigham Young, a U.S. Liberty ship used during World War II.  It was converted into a cargo ship and renamed the Murzim in 1943 and was used in the South Pacific to transport supplies and later as an ammo ship. After the war she was decommissioned and entered the National Defense Reserve Fleet at Suisun Bay. She was scrapped in 1973. (Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships," (1969) Vol. 4, p.459)
