The Cost of Rescuing a Prophet

What was the estimated cost of rescuing Joseph Smith at the time he was kidnapped with the intention of taking him to Missouri?
a.                  $100
b.                  $1,000
c.                   $10,000
d.                  $100,000
Yesterday’s answer:
C.   Members were placing the same importance on them as the other revelations
Some have wondered why the Lectures on Faith were removed from the Doctrine and Covenants. The answer is not difficult to find. They were part of the Doctrine and Covenants as a help to the Saints, however, when some of the members started to give them the same importance as the revelations, the lectures were removed.
