SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY Luke 10:33-34
"But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him."

QUOTE OF THE DAY Brigham Young
"Make sure the path for your own feet to walk to eternal life, and take as many with you as you can. Take them as they are, understand them as they are, and deal with them as they are; look at them as God looks at them" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Brigham Young, p. 218). |

The dead included nine-year-old Sardius Smith, son of Warren Smith, who had the upper part of his head blown off from a gun placed against his head. Charles Merrick, about nine years old, was also among those killed in the massacre. Some of the wounded were also young boys and teens.

Another 1000-1500 man militia, under the command of General Clark, was on its way to Far West with a copy of the extermination order of the Governor. When the Saints in Far West, not yet knowing about the Extermination Order, were informed of the arrival of the militia outside of town, some eight to nine hundred Saints being preparations to defend the city with wagons, timber, etc..
