The Institute of Religion's Predecessor




Prior to 1970, the Institute of Religion had a club name. What was it?


a.      The Gold and Green Club

b.      The MIA Club

c.       The Single University Club

d.      The Deseret Club

Yesterday’s answer


a.      That Parley P. Pratt would be set at liberty from a Missouri jail


The following prophecy is in relation to Parley P. Pratt escaping prison in Missouri on July 4, 1839. The story takes place in New York City while Parley joins Joseph Smith to Washington D.C. to present the Saints grievances to the President of the United States:


Brother Adison Everett, a High Priest of the Church in that city and one of the first members I had baptized there, related to me that the Church in that city were assembled in prayer for me on the evening of the 4th of July previous, that I might be delivered from prison and from my enemies in Missouri. When, on a sudden, the spirit of prophecy fell on him, and he arose and declared to the Church that they might cease their prayers on the subject; “For,” said he, “on this moment brother Parley goes at liberty.”
