| QUOTE OF THE DAY John Taylor
"If I . . . was the head of a family, I would want to teach my family right and teach them the principles of virtue, holiness, purity, honor and integrity, that they might be worthy citizens, and that they might be able to stand before God, that when they and I get through this world, we might be worthy to meet the elect of God . . . Therefore, every morning, as head of my family, I should dedicate myself and my family to God" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: John Taylor, p. 195-1964). |

To read more events in Church History, 1844 - The Nauvoo Legion assembled in the morning to organize and prepare for any mob action against the city of Nauvoo. At 1:45 p. m. the Mayor, Joseph Smith, declared the city of Nauvoo under martial law. At 2:00 p. m. the Prophet Joseph Smith gives his last public discourse to the men of the Nauvoo Legion in full uniform from the top of the frame of a building near his mansion home. "I do not regard my own life," he said. "I am ready to be offered a sacrifice for this people; for what can our enemies do? Only kill the body . . . God has tried you. You are a good people; therefore I love you with all my heart. Greater love hath no man than that he should lay down his life for his friends. You have stood by me in the hour of trouble, and I am willing to sacrifice my life for your preservation" (History of the Church, 6:500). At 3:15 p. m., the Prophet took command of the legion and marched them up Main Street to their former parade ground. He then returned home to the mansion, keeping abreast of the situation with the mob in Carthage and the county.
