Weathering the Tide

In Ann Burt’s 1854 journal, she mentions a time when her husband sold the house out from under her at a moment when she was pregnant, then left her. About this time she received a letter from a rich Uncle offering her his estate if she did what?

 a.      Leave the Church

b.      Burn the Lion House

c.       Return to her native Wales

d.      Ask to be the first Sister missionary to her native Wales

Yesterday’s answer:

 B.   Joseph Smith

 William E. Berrett [Supervisor of Church Institutes and Seminaries during the 1960’s] recounted that shortly after World War II, a prominent Russian who had spent a year studying in the United States was asked who were the great Americans. He replied, “You have had only one great American—Joseph Smith the Mormon Prophet. He is the only man in your culture who has given to the world ideas which if followed would revolutionize the human race.”
