Reverend Prentis of South Carolina stated that which Latter-day Saint Prophet had “the most holy face?”
a.                  Joseph Smith
b.                  Brigham Young
c.                   Lorenzo Snow
d.                  George Albert Smith
Yesterday’s answer:
C   48
From the life of Joseph Smith:   Joseph had forty-eight lawsuits brought against him during his lifetime. He prevailed in forty-seven. The sole exception was an 1826 indictment for fraudulent “glass looking” brought by Peter G. Bridgeman. Fraser’s Magazine of February, 1873, claimed Smith was convicted of a misdemeanor in the case. George A. Smith may have been referring to this case when he told a Salt Lake City congregation in 1855 that Joseph Smith “was never found guilty but once.”
