SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Helaman 5:12
"And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."
|
QUOTE OF THE DAY Joseph Fielding Smith
"He did die for the sins of the world, he did bring to pass redemption from death, he did grant unto men the opportunity of repentance, and remission of sins through their belief and acceptance of the principles of the gospel, and of his mission. These truths are fundamental, they shall endure; they cannot be destroyed no matter what men may say or think" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Fielding Smith, p. 54-55). |

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY July 18
1833 - A number of prominent men in Independence, Missouri, prepare a document in which they state their accusations against the Mormons. The Saints later refer to it as the "Manifesto of the Mob."
1839 - Many of the newly arrived Saints in Commerce, later Nauvoo, Illinois, were becoming sick from the swamp conditions of the area. The Prophet Joseph and others, including his wife, Emma, spent much of their time for a couple of weeks caring for those who were sick and camped along the river near his home.
1846 - A grand ball is held near Council Bluffs prior to the departure of the Mormon Battalion. Music was provided by William Pitt's brass band.
1847 - Both companies of pioneers rested and observed the Sabbath with religious services. They had traveled 85 ½ miles from Fort Bridger. Many of the sick, including Brigham Young, were reported as doing much better by evening and were expected to recover soon.
1853 - The Walker War, a conflict between the Latter-day Saint settlers and local Native Americans, begins near Payson, Utah.
1857 - A contingent of the U.S. Army left Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, for the Utah Territory to "resolve the Mormon problem." Word reached three Latter-day Saint men, Abraham Smoot, Porter Rockwell, and Judson Stoddard, who were at Ft. Laramie, Wyoming, and they quickly left for Salt Lake City to warn the Saints of the approach of the Army sent to "end" the Mormon problem in Utah.
1993 - The first meetinghouse in Swaziland, Africa, is dedicated by Elder Richard P. Lindsay, a member of the Second Quorum of Seventy and President of the Africa Area.
1999 - The Mormon Tabernacle Choir reached a milestone on its weekly broadcast of "Music and the Spoken Word." The program became the longest continuous, uninterrupted network radio broadcast in the world having passed the 70 year mark of broadcasting.
2004 - The Mormon Tabernacle Choir celebrates its 75 years of uninterrupted continuous broadcasting on radio and television with a grand concert at the Conference Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.
