SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Doctrine & Covenants 93:40
"But I have commanded you to bring up your children in light and truth."
|
QUOTE OF THE DAY Ezra Taft Benson
"One great thing the Lord requires of each of us is to provide a home where a happy, positive influence for good exists. In future years the costliness of home furnishings or the number of bathrooms will not matter much, but what will matter significantly is whether our children felt love and acceptance in the home. It will greatly matter whether there was happiness and laughter, or bickering and contention.
"I am convinced that before a child can be influenced for good by his or her parents, there must be a demonstration of respect and love" ("Great Things Required of Their Fathers," Ensign, May 1981). |

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY November 10
1831 - The Prophet Joseph receives the revelation known as Doctrine and Covenants 69. The revelations that were to be printed as the Book of Commandments in Independence, Missouri, had been prepared and Oliver Cowdery was appointed to take the manuscript and the money that had been collected for the building up of Zion to Missouri. As he was to travel a long distance through unsettled territory, John Whitmer was called to travel with him for safety and support. Today, missionaries travel in pairs for the same reason. (History of the Church, 1:234-235)
1835 - The Prophet Joseph continued his discussions with Robert Matthias, who called himself "Joshua, the Jewish Minister," who was staying in the Prophet's home. After listening to him further explain his views on the resurrection, the Prophet Joseph told him "that his doctrine was of the devil, that he was in reality in possession of a wicked and depraved spirit" (History of the Church, 2:307).
1838 - The Saints at Adam-ondi-Ahman surrender to General Moses Wilson of the Missouri militia and are ordered to leave Daviess County within ten days. They are granted permission to live in Caldwell County until spring. Permission is also given for a committee of twelve Saints to travel between Adam-ondi-Ahman and Far West for a period of four weeks to convey their crops from Daviess to Caldwell County.
1923 - The Relief Societies throughout North America receive a charge to collect and repair clothing and shoes to ease the distress of the Saints in Germany following World War I.
