When the Italian mission was reopened in 1965, a newspaper reporter wrote that the missionaries had a certain “aspect” about them. What aspect did they have?
a.                  Angelic
b.                  Holier than Thou
c.                   Mystical
d.                  Satanic
Yesterday’s answer:
D   Lorenzo Snow
The passion of LDS Church leaders in proclaiming a return to and reclamation of Zion continued to flourish. President Lorenzo Snow spoke on this topic frequently, as did other LDS General Authorities through the early years of the twentieth century. For example, President Snow preached: “But a large portion of the Latter-day Saints that now dwell in these valleys will go back to Jackson County to build a holy city to the Lord.” In 1901, Apostle Rudger Clawson recorded in his diary after a meeting of the twelve: “One brother spoke in tongues to the effect that the impression given to Pres. Snow of late regarding the redemption of the Center Stake of Zion, and the building of the great temple were from the Lord, and such event would transpire much sooner than many supposed.”
