I just got back thanks for the ping. It was beautiful and the tears were great at the Manhattan Meeting house. I am so thankful to be a part of this great occacion and my heart and soul swell with joy and sorrow for the price that was paid by the Saints in those days. I Heard about a man who was stripted and had hot tar pourd all over his body and than covered with feather and it was said he died shortly after that.

Who are these people that could do that to another human being? I also heard that there was on record that order issued from the United States government to not let the Mormons move West, but too exterminate them all to obliterate!!!

So much for religious freedom! I just thank the Lord for softing enought hearts that the Saints remained. I love the hosanna shout!

The people who exept Jesus Christ and are of the ten lost tribes in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost are very happy for the Latter Day Saints.

According to Gerald Lund's "Work and the Glory" series, this was a rumor that turned out to have no basis in fact, but it certainly got a lot of saints to leave Nauvoo early (early enough so that saints would be able to take advantage of the Mississippi freezing over solidly enough to be able to drive a oxen-drawn wagon across).

Darn, I was supposed to be in Manhattan for a business trip this week, we could have met. :) I had to cancel due to family illnesses last week. The dedication was beautiful though.
