SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY John 7:16-17
"Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself."

QUOTE OF THE DAY Harold B. Lee
"All the principles and ordinances of the gospel are in a sense but invitations to learning the gospel by the practice of its teachings. . . . Children, or grownups for that matter, are not converted to tithing, the Word of Wisdom, keeping the Sabbath day holy, or prayer by hearing someone talk about these principles. We learn the gospel by living it" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Harold B. Lee, p. 199). |

TODAY IN CHURCH HISTORY November 24
1835 - The Prophet Joseph spent the day in "instructing those that called to inquire concerning the things of God in the last days" and in translating "some of the Egyptian records." In the evening he, with Emma, attended a wedding at the home of Hyrum Smith. The Prophet records that he solemnized "the matrimonial ceremony between Newel Knight and Lydia Goldthwaite" and that the ceremony "was original with me, and in substance as follows-You covenant to be each other's companions through life, and discharge the duties of husband and wife in every respect; to which they assented. I then pronounced them husband and wife in the name of God, and also pronounced upon them the blessings that the Lord conferred upon Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, that is, to multiply and replenish the earth, with the addition of long life and prosperity" (History of the Church, 2:320).
