Yesterday’s answer:
a.
Lucy Mack
Smith
To take
matters completely out of the hands of the Council of Fifty or any other
similar group and to abandon the already approved Yellowstone plan would
require a forceful declaration. On January 11 [1847], Brigham told of another
dream he had received the night before of Joseph Smith and his mother, Lucy
Mack Smith, reporting that he and Joseph “conversed freely about the best
manner of organizing companies for emigration. Three days later on Thursday, 14
January, Brigham presented what in time came to be his one and only canonized
revelation to the Church. Recorded today in the Doctrine and Covenants and
received then as “The Word and Will of the Lord concerning the Camp of Israel
in their journeying to the West”, The document was a brilliant and will-timed
statement—not only because of what it said regarding the organization of
companies but also for what it declared concerning the source of final
authority. Above all, it was a lecture on apostolic authority and supremacy.
