SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY
Alma 53:20-21

"And they were all young men, and they were exceedingly valiant for courage, and also for strength and activity; but behold, this was not all---they were men who were true at all times in whatsoever thing they were entrusted. Yea, they were men of truth and soberness, for they had been taught to keep the commandments of God and to walk uprightly before him."
Joseph F. Smith
 
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Joseph F. Smith
"May peace abide in your souls, and the love of truth abound in you. May virtue garnish all your ways. May you live uprightly and honestly before the Lord, keep the faith, and be valiant in the testimony of Jesus Christ; for he that is valiant will receive his reward" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph F. Smith, p. 111).

 
 
Because of his righteousness (Mosiah 3:4), an angel from God came to King Benjamin to teach him "glad tidings of great joy" (Mosiah 3:3) for him and for his people.  For the Lord Omnipotent would soon come to earth to provide salvation for his people.

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY
May 18

For more events in Church History,
1843 - The Prophet Joseph Smith, while dining with Judge Stephen A. Douglas in Carthage, Illinois, prophesies that the judge would aspire to the Presidency of the United States, saying: "Judge, you will aspire to the presidency of the United States; and if ever you turn your hand against me or the Latter-day Saints, you will feel the weight of the hand of Almighty upon you; and you will live to see and know that I have testified the truth to you" (History of the Church, 5:394).  Judge Douglas later slanders the Saints and loses the Presidential election to Abraham Lincoln and dies shortly thereafter.
