b.
He was buying
land as a final destination for the Saints in the east
c.
He was renouncing
Brigham Young’s authority
d.
He was taking money
designated for the Nauvoo temple for his own personal use
Yesterday’s
answer:
B Advertise the
church name on the side of mission cars
Dunns [John Jr. new mission president to Italy] felt
that the missionaries should not draw undue attention to themselves in opening
new cities to avoid creating more problems for the Church. His concern was no
doubt related to the somewhat ambiguous legal status of new religious movements
in Italy at the time, opposition from local Catholic officials, and
anti-Americanism in areas of Communist influence. When some of the missionaries
suggested putting the name of the Church on the side of the mission cars
for publicity, Dunns refused, explaining rather that “we
should try just to be one of the people, just try to mingle with the people” as
much as possible. He also directed that, whenever possible, LDS meeting be held
“at times that didn’t conflict with Catholic masses on Sundays.”
