Bishop’s
have been known to get inventive to provide all with a calling. BYU Wards are a
prime example of such calls, all the way from setting hymn books out to
furnishing the podium with a flower or plant. What is one such call that a
youth could expect to receive during the 1860’s?
A)
Muck out the General Authority’s barns
B)
Cricket watch and destruction
C)
Learn telegraphy
D)
Assist the elderly across Salt Lake City
streets
Yesterday’s answer:
(C)
Found in a New York museum and the remnants given back to the Church
After the Prophet’s death they, along with the mummies, were sold to
non-Mormons and exhibited in various places, including Wood’s Museum in
Chicago. For years it was assumed that they all were destroyed in the great
Chicago fire of 1871, but in 1967 eleven fragments were discovered in a New
York museum and presented to the Church.
