Yesterday’s answer:
a.
Holiness to
the Lord
The first
all-steam company to travel to Utah’s border in 1869 made the journey from
Liverpool to Ogden in twenty-four days. Yet the event that caused real
celebration took place on 10 January 1870, when the last rail of the Utah
Central Railroad was laid, connecting the Latter-day Saint capital with the
rest of the nation. The Deseret News reported: “The last spike was driven by
President Brigham Young. A large steel mallet was used on the occasion. . . .
It was elegantly chased; on the top there was engrave a beehive, surmounted by
the inscription ‘Holiness to the Lord.’”
