QUOTE OF THE DAY Lorenzo Snow
"How much longer I may live, I know nothing about, and I do not worry about it. I do desire, and it is something that you should desire, to have that humility, and that meekness, and that simplicity to enjoy the spirit of revelation. It is your privilege, every one of you, to have enough of the spirit of revelation to know exactly what is proper for you to do" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Lorenzo Snow, p. 79). |

In the presence of the Prophet Joseph, he said he was "personally acquainted with Joe Smith, had heard him preach his lies, and now, since he was dead, he was glad!" Oliver Cowdery confronted Ellmer and records that he hoped others on the steamer "felt an increased anxiety to learn something further" and sold a copy of the Book of Mormon to one individual.
