The Kirtland Safety Society



According to Truman O. Angell, a major factor in the failure of this bank had to do with the money that apostate Warren Parrish robbed from it. How much money did he steal?

a.      $20,000

b.      $10,000

c.       $5,000

d.      $30,000

Yesterday’s answer:

(D)   Cucumbers

There was a point in time when many believed that an armed conflict between the Saints and their neighbors was a given. Noting this, gun salesmen descended on Nauvoo trying to convince the Saints to purchase guns. Joseph counseled the Saints not to buy weapons: “It would be better to buy ploughshares and raise corn with them. . . . Let us keep cool as a cucumber on a frosty morning.”
