| QUOTE OF THE DAY Heber J. Grant |
|
“The keeping of the commandments of God will bring to us the light and inspiration of His Spirit. Then the desire of our hearts will be to know the mind and will of the Lord, and we will pray for strength and ability to carry it out, thereby following in the footsteps of our Lord and Master Jesus Christ” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Heber J. Grant, p. 185).

|
1844 - A special meeting of the Church was held at the East Grove in Nauvoo for the purpose of choosing a guardian for the Church. President William Marks of the Nauvoo Stake presided at the meeting. Sidney Rigdon stood in a wagon in front of the stand and spoke for one and a half hours presenting his case to be the new leader of the Church. A break for lunch was taken and the group reassembled at 2 p.m., at which time, Brigham Young arose to speak. He gave a moving speech on the position of the Quorum of the Twelve holding the keys of the kingdom of God and the rightful heir to the Prophet Joseph.
It is recorded in many testimonial statements and personal histories that during the afternoon meeting, Brigham Young was transfigured and had the appearance and voice of the Prophet Joseph while he was speaking. The transfiguration was a witness to many that the mantle of Joseph had fallen upon Brigham Young and he was the Lord’s choice to lead the Church in the absence of Joseph Smith. (History of the Church, 7:231-242)
