QUOTE OF THE DAY John Taylor
"It would seem that the coming of the Savior to the world, his suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension to the position he occupies in the eternal world before his Heavenly Father has a great deal to do with our interests and happiness; and hence this continued memorial that we partake of every Sabbath" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: John Taylor, p. 111).
