SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
Doctrine & Covenants 4:5-6

"And faith, hope, charity and love, with an eye single to the glory of God, qualify him for the work. Remember faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, brotherly kindness, godliness, charity, humility, diligence."
 
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Joseph Smith

"It is one evidence that men are unacquainted with the principles of godliness to behold the contraction of affectionate feelings and lack of charity in the world. The power and glory of godliness is spread out on a broad principle to throw out the mantle of charity. God does not look on sin with allowance, but when men have sinned, there must be allowance made for them. . . . The nearer we get to our heavenly Father, the more we are disposed to look with compassion on perishing souls; we feel that we want to take them upon our shoulders, and cast their sins behind our backs" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith, p. 428).

The Voice of the Lord

Library: Times of Turmoil 1: Evading Babylon: Chapter 2 

"Nathan prayed fervently that he could have a peaceful night's sleep, and once again he drifted off into another dream. This one was also very vivid, but it had a much different feel to it. Nathan found himself standing in the center of a huge room with a towering ceiling. The walls appeared to sparkle like diamonds, and the floor was made of polished granite."

For more events in Church History

1843 - The Prophet Joseph issues a political statement that was to be published in The Wasp, Nauvoo's newspaper at the time, that included "my feelings revolt at the idea of having anything to do with politics . . . I think it would be well for politicians to regulate their own affairs. I wish to be let alone, that I may attend strictly to the spiritual welfare of the Church" (History of the Church, 5:259). However, political forces of the time would never allow the Prophet to avoid political matters.

1844 - Joseph Smith records that he sold the printing establishment in Nauvoo to John Taylor for $2,832. It included the Printing building and lot and equipment to print and bind publications. A cotillion party was held in the evening at the Mansion House. (History of the Church, 6:185).
