With time the Saints petition the Federal Government for their losses in Missouri. Who was the first to send a petition to congress?
a.                  A Jackson county minister
b.                  Brigham Young
c.                   An Illinois politician
d.                  An Illinois surveyor
Yesterday’s answer:
A   The announcement of polygamy
The next morning, Sunday, August 29, the Latter-day Saints again assembled for the concluding session of that fall’s general conference [1852]. It was in this setting that Apostle Orson Pratt first announced publicly the Mormon belief in and practice of plural marriage. This theological bombshell would have a major impact on the missionaries and their labors abroad, as well as the lives and families of the missionaries when they returned from Europe.
