SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
2 Nephi 11:4

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Joseph Smith

"We conclude that whenever the Lord revealed Himself to men in ancient days, and commanded them to offer sacrifice to Him, that it was done that they might look forward in faith to the time of His coming, and rely upon the power of that atonement for a remission of their sins. And this they have done, thousands who have gone before us, whose garments are spotless" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith, p. 49).

 
 
CHILDREN'S LIBRARY: Thunder Ridge Fort: Chapter 1: Welcome to Thunder Ridge

Once on the ground, they took their places on either side of the wagon.  They had been up enough steep hills in this old wagon to know what was expected of them.  Pa went to the back and placed his hands on the wagon.  With everyone in place, Ma shook the reins.


LIBRARY: Times of Turmoil 2: Martial Law: Chapter  16

Suddenly the car somehow jerked upward, and only Aaron's seatbelt keep him from hitting his head on the roof of the car. He looked around and saw other vehicles doing the same bouncy maneuver. It finally dawned on him this was a severe earthquake-and possibly the Big One that the citizens of Utah had been anticipating for decades.


TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY
July 3

1841 - The Nauvoo Legion was "called out to celebrate our National Independence (the 4th being Sunday), and was reviewed by Lieutenant-General Joseph Smith, who made an eloquent and patriotic speech to the troops, and strongly testified of his regard for our national welfare, and his willingness to lay down his life in defense of his country, and closed with these remarkable words, 'I would ask no greater boon, than to lay down my life for my country.'" A dinner was then held in the grove attended by officers of the Legion, "and many others, with their ladies."  (History of the Church, 4:382)
