Joseph Smith
We are all
familiar with the August 8, 1844 meeting when Brigham Young stood before the
Saints in Nauvoo, both sounding and taking on the appearance of the Prophet
Joseph Smith. Apparently, two days after Joseph’s death, Joseph appeared to
W. W. Phelps. What did Joseph tell William to drive the kingdom around?
a. The Salt Lake Valley
b. The Twelve
c. Brigham Young
d. The Temple
Yesterday’s answer:
b. It was the last name of the missionary who
converted him.
Thomas Brown
Holmes Stenhouse: Stenhouse apparently shard the English delight for long and
distinguished names, evidently affixing “Holmes” in honor of the Mormon elder
who performed his baptismal ordinance. Stenhouse was baptized in England in
1846.
