SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Alma 34:9
"For it is expedient that an atonement should be made; for according to the great plan of the Eternal God there must be an atonement made, or else all mankind must unavoidably perish; yea, all are hardened; yea, all are fallen and are lost, and must perish except it be through the atonement which it is expedient should be made."

QUOTE OF THE DAY Joseph F. Smith
"Men can only be saved and exalted in the kingdom of God in righteousness, therefore we must repent of our sins, and walk in the light as Christ is in the light, that his blood may cleanse us from all sins, and that we may have fellowship with God and receive of his glory and exaltation" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph F. Smith, p. 101). |

1838 - The Prophet Joseph, and the other prisoners with him, arrived at the Missouri River and were "hurried across the ferry" into Jackson County.
