SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Job 38:4-7
"Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?"

QUOTE OF THE DAY John Taylor
"We, as eternal beings, associated with an eternal God, having a religion that leads to that God, are desirous, as the ancients were, to know something about him, to be brought into communication with him, to fulfil the measure of our creation and our destiny on the earth, and to help the Lord to bring to pass those things that he designed from before the foundation of the world, in regard to the human family" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: John Taylor, p. 8). |

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY July 11
1839 - On about this day, sickness began to manifest itself among the Mormon refuges in Commerce, Illinois, who had fled the persecutions in Missouri. The weakened state from persecutions, the hot, muggy weather, and the swampy conditions of their new gathering place, all combined to make for an unhealthy situation in the area. The Prophet Joseph would spend time visiting and administering to the sick, "some had faith enough and were healed; others had not." The sickness would continue for several weeks with many of the sick camping outside of the Prophet's home along the river. Emma, and others, spent many hours caring for the sick during this time.
1840 - The Prophet Joseph Smith met with the High Council and "taught them the principles relating to their duty as a Council." The Prophet also records that "William Berrett, aged 17, was ordained an Elder in . . . England, . . . and took leave for South Australia, being the first Elder who went on a mission to that country" (History of the Church, 4:154).
1842 - The Prophet Joseph bought a horse, "which I named Joe Duncan" (History of the Church, 5:60).
1851 - Thomas L. Kane, a nonmember friend of the Saints with connections in Washington D.C., writes a letter to U.S. President Millard Fillmore, defending the character of Brigham Young.
1970 - The Spain Mission is organized.
2006 - Nathan E. White, Jr., a member of the Church from Texas, was installed as president general of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) at the 116th Annual Congress in Dallas, Texas. The society's members are descendants from those who supported the cause of the American Revolution. (Church News, August 12, 2006)
