A Vision of the Salt Lake Temple


Even prior to Brigham Young establishing the site for the Salt Lake Temple, which prophet of the Church saw in vision this magnificent edifice before he became a prophet?

 a.      Joseph Smith

b.      John Taylor

c.       Wilford Woodruff

d.      Lorenzo Snow
 
Yesterday’s answer:

 B)   A kiss from any girl of his choosing
Husking parties often began at twilight, when six or eight lanterns were hung around the large piles of accumulated corn. “Then the crowd would gather and begin the work, or fun, for it was fun,” insisted one participant. A competition might be held to determine who could do the most work. Or perhaps the color of the corn might be made into a game. If a girl found a rare red ear, it was evidence that she would be the first of the girls to marry. If a boy found one, it meant he was about to lose his girlfriend. There were variations. Occasionally the special red ear gave a boy the right to kiss a girl—a “simple past time [that] afforded a great deal of pleasure for the hard working people.”
