Which prophet changed fast day from Thursdays to Sundays?
a.                  Wilford Woodruff
b.                  Joseph F. Smith
c.                   Brigham Young
d.                  John Taylor
Yesterday’s answer:
C   Lorenzo Snow
From the life of Lorenzo Snow:   A South Carolina visitor, Reverend Prentis, described President Snow in 1898: “I had expected to find intellect, intellectuality, benevolence, dignity, composure and strength depicted upon the face of the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; but when I was introduced to President Lorenzo Snow for a second I was startled to see the holiest face but one I had ever been privileged to look upon. His face was a poem of peace, his presence a benediction of peace. In the tranquil depths of his eyes were the ‘home of silent prayer’ and the abode of spiritual strength.”
October 10, 1901:   Last Church president to know Joseph Smith personally, Lorenzo Snow died of pneumonia at age eighty-seven in the Beehive House in Salt Lake City. Buried in the Brigham City Cemetery.
