SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY John 14:27
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
|
QUOTE OF THE DAY Howard W. Hunter
"Why face life's burdens alone, Christ asks, or why face them with temporal support that will quickly falter? To the heavy laden it is Christ's yoke, it is the power and peace of standing side by side with a God that will provide the support, balance, and the strength to meet our challenges and endure our tasks here in the hardpan field of mortality" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Howard W. Hunter, p. 67). |
REMEMBERING J. GOLDEN KIMBALL
Elder J. Golden Kimball served the Lord for many years and endeared himself to the Saints who returned his love. He was a common man, schooled in the ways of hard work and difficulty, willing to acknowledge his personal struggles within himself, but with a testimony of the Lord's work here on earth. This unique combination of earth and spirit gave hope to the Saints who identified with him.

It also contains instructions concerning baptism for the dead, reorganization of priesthood quorums, and the calling of Hyrum Smith as the new Patriarch to the Church and as Assistant President of the Church.

1928 - Fearing the rising Mississippi River, due to the dam built downstream from Nauvoo, Illinois, at Keokuk, Iowa, would cover the unmarked graves of Joseph and Hyrum, an archeological team associated with the RLDS (now Community of Christ) Church, begins the process locating the unmarked graves where they were secretly buried in 1844. After locating the bodies, they would be moved nearby and re-buried in their present location in the Smith Family Burial Ground. |
