SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Alma 34:40-41
"And now my beloved brethren, I would exhort you to have patience, and that ye bear with all manner of afflictions; that ye do not revile against those who do cast you out because of your exceeding poverty, lest ye become sinners like unto them; but that ye have patience, and bear with those afflictions, with a firm hope that ye shall one day rest from all your afflictions."
|
QUOTE OF THE DAY Wilford Woodruff
"When we have passed through the sorrows of mortality and have the joy and glory of the celestial kingdom conferred upon us we shall then know that the afflictions of mortality have prepared us for and enabled us to appreciate the blessings which God has in store for the faithful" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Wilford, p. 87). |

1836 - Joshua Seixas arrives in Kirtland, Ohio, and begins teaching Hebrew to the Prophet Joseph and the others attending Hebrew school in the Kirtland Temple. The class is held from ten to eleven a.m. and again from two until three p.m.. The Prophet wrote, "His instruction pleased me much" (History of the Church, 2:386).
1839 - The exodus of the Saints from Missouri to Illinois and Iowa begins as a result of mob activity and Missouri Governor Lilburn W. Bogg's October 1838 extermination order. The order to the Missouri Militia stated, "The Mormons must be treated as enemies, and must be exterminated or driven from the state." With the Prophet Joseph and other Church leaders in Liberty Jail, the exodus took place under the direction of the senior member of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles, Brigham Young, and was a precursor to the great exodus west from Nauvoo to Utah that began seven years later in 1846. Of great concern was the removal of the poor and destitute. A meeting was held on this date in Far West, Missouri, and a committee was organized to write an appeal to the citizens of the area to help in their removal out of the state.
