| QUOTE OF THE DAY Brigham Young |
|
“All our educational pursuits are in the service of God, for all these labors are to establish truth on the earth, and that we may increase in knowledge, wisdom, understanding in the power of faith and in the wisdom of God, that we may become fit subjects to dwell in a higher state of existence and intelligence than we now enjoy” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Brigham Young, p. 317).

1838 - A two hundred man mob attacked the small settlement of Hawn’s Mill, Missouri, killing seventeen men and boys and wounding fourteen others. The dead included nine-year-old Sardius Smith, son of Warren Smith, who had the upper part of his head blown off from a gun placed against his head. Charles Merrick, about nine years old, was also among those killed in the massacre. Some of the wounded were also young boys and teens. Also, the Missouri State Militia under the leadership of General Lucas, consisting of approximately twenty-five hundred men, arrives at Far West, Missouri, and camps about a mile outside of the city. Another 1000-1500 man militia, under the command of General Clark, was on its way to Far West with a copy of the extermination order of the Governor. When the Saints in Far West, not yet knowing about the Extermination Order, were informed of the arrival of the militia outside of town, some eight to nine hundred Saints begin preparations to defend the city with wagons, timber, etc.. (History of the Church, 3:182-188)
