This episode gives us the health code for the Latter-day Saints, the Word of Wisdom. Since this code tells people what they can and cannot drink or consume, it has been debated, reinterpreted, and provided a lot of tension since it was first given in 1833 to the present day. We also see the official beginning of the First Presidency of the Church, and a revelation explaining the status of the Apocrypha and whether Joseph Smith should include it in his revision of the Bible. We also have some poignant meetings, interesting blessings, and much more which we are Filling in the History.
