SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Helamen 14:30-31 "And now remember, remember, my brethren, that whosoever perisheth, perisheth unto himself; and whosoever doeth iniquity, doeth it unto himself; for behold, ye are free; ye are permitted to act for yourselves; for behold, God hath given unto you a knowledge and he hath made you free. He hath given unto you that ye might know good from evil, and he hath given unto you that ye might choose life or death; and ye can do good and be restored unto that which is good, or have that which is good restored unto you; or ye can do evil, and have that which is evil restored unto you." |
QUOTE OF THE DAY Wilford Woodruff "When we can really understand that our future destiny---future happiness, exaltation and glory, or our future misery, debasement and sorrow, all depend upon the little time we spend in this world, I can say that it is not to the advantage of any man under the heavens to spend his time in doing wrong" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Wilford Woodruff, p. 209). |

He showed them the "fallacy of Mr. Miller's data concerning the coming of Christ" who had predicted the time Jesus Christ was to return to the earth. He informed the young men that Mr. Miller "was in want of correct information upon the subject, and that he was not so much to blame as the translators [of the Bible]" (History of the Church, 5:272). He then taught them that all the prophecies must be fulfilled before the Savior would come again. 1955 - The site for building the Church College of Hawaii, later Brigham Young University-Hawaii, is dedicated by President David O.
