QUOTE OF THE DAY Heber J. Grant
"The story of Jesus the Christ is a story of old that ever remains new. The oftener I read of His life and labors the greater are the joy, the peace, the happiness, the satisfaction that fill my soul. There is ever a new charm comes to me in contemplating His words and the plan of life and salvation which He taught to men during His life upon the earth" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Heber J. Grant, p. 221). |

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY December 2
1835 - Being a "fine morning," the Prophet Joseph took his family for a sleigh ride to visit sister Harriet Howe at Painesville, Ohio. While passing through Mentor Street they came upon another sleigh and the Prophet politely asked them to let them pass. As they let the Prophet pass they called out, "Do you get any revelations lately?" The Prophet states "this is a fair sample of the character of Mentor Street inhabitants, who are ready to abuse and scandalize men who never laid a straw in their way." The Prophet and his family continue on to Painesville where he leaves his wife and children to visit with Sister Howe while he and his scribe rode into town to do some business. After dinner at the Howe's, the Prophet and his family return to Kirtland. "Had a fine ride-sleighing good, weather pleasant" (History of the Church, 2:323-324).
