170 years ago today - Sep 6, 1842

Joseph Smith writes a long letter further discussing baptisms for the dead and eternal sealings needed to create a "welding link between fathers and their children back to Adam. He encourages Church members: "Shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go forward and not backward? Courage, brethren; and on, on to the victory! (See D&C 128.)
