Identifying the Angel


It has been said that during the dedicatory services of the Kirtland Temple that angels were present. So many different accounts attribute to this that doubt is non-existent. What’s interesting, is that Joseph Smith identified the angel that entered the building during the dedicatory prayer and sat himself in the stands. Who was the angel?
a    a. Nephi
b    b. Moses
c    c. Peter
d    d. Alma
Yesterday’s answer:
a    a. $20,000
After some months passed in this manner, persecution commenced against the Heads of the Church in consequence of the failure of the Bank of Kirtland. This institution would have been a financial success and a blessing to the Saints—which they needed very much had the Gentiles who borrowed the money of the bank fulfilled their promises. Also [Warren Parrish] Parish, the clerk and cashier, robbed the bank of about $20,000. This things crippled the bank and caused it to suspend business soon after; and false brethren in consequence forced President Smith to Missouri, seemingly to save himself.
