SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Doctrine & Covenants 1:17-29
"Wherefore, I the Lord, knowing the calamity which should come upon the inhabitants of the earth, called upon my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., and spake unto him from heaven, and gave him commandments; and also gave commandments to others, that they should proclaim these things unto the world; and all this that it might be fulfilled, which was written by the prophets . . . And after having received the record of the Nephites, yea, even my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., might have power to translate through the mercy of God, by the power of God, the Book of Mormon."

QUOTE OF THE DAY Ezra Taft Benson
"These promises---increased love and harmony in the home, greater respect between parent and child, increased spirituality and righteousness---are not idle promises, but exactly what the Prophet Joseph Smith meant when he said the Book of Mormon will help us draw nearer to God" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Ezra Taft Benson, p. 131).

Library: Brother Joseph 1: Chapter 3: The First Vision
"Because many had been touched in their hearts by the recent religious revival, they were wondering which of the many churches they should join. Joseph was equally perplexed. This Methodist minister suggested that they should follow the advice of James."

1839 - Around this time, the first home built by a Latter-day Saint in Commerce, soon to be Nauvoo, a log structure, was built by Theodore Turley. The Prophet began to dictate his history to his clerk, James Mulholland. He recorded this description of his new home in Illinois: "The land was mostly covered with tress and bushes, and much of it so wet that it was with the utmost difficulty a footman could get through, and totally impossible for teams. Commerce was so unhealthful, very few could live there; but believing that it might become a healthful place by the blessing of heaven to the Saints, and no more eligible place presenting itself, I considered it wisdom to make an attempt to build up a city" (History of the Church, 3:375).
