He Said It the Way He Saw It

Jesse N. Smith

During the Stake Conference in Snowflake, Arizona dated March 26, 1881, Jesse N. Smith, during a talk, refers to members of the Church who do not honor the Sabbath as what?

A)                 Fighting Mormons

B)                 Jack Mormons

C)                 Governor Ford’s slaves

D)                 Missourians

Yesterday’s answer

C) $86

This looks rather inexpensive, but remember during the 1840’s a man worked for a dollar a day. This would be slightly higher in the 1850’s. Do the math yourself. Take your daily wage and multiply by 86 and this should give you a better understanding of the cost involved.
