...they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Acts 17:11 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Isaiah 8:20 "Whatever it is, I'm against it. No matter what it is or who commenced it, I'm against it." Groucho Marx, from Horse Feathers

40 years ago--Mormons build on youth in selecting new president
On January 18, 1970, David O. McKay, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since 1951, died at the age of 96. On January 23, Mr. McKay's successor was announced. Following the trend toward youth that was so prevalent in North American and western society at the time, the church chose 93-year-old Joseph Fielding Smith, a grand-nephew of Mormon founder Joseph Smith, to be their new Prophet, Seer, and Revelator. Mr. Smith was the author of 20 books and was regarded as the church’s leading expert on theology. Just one question, Chief: When was the last time that a Mormon Prophet, Seer, and Revelator prophesied, saw, or revelated?
