Beth, this cover is a section of a mural painted by Mary Kimball Johnson for the Emerson Ward chapel (Salt Lake City). Its title is, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof” (Psalm 24:1).

It turns out there’s a story behind the painting of the mural, which I’ll make into a post in the near future.

Beth, come back here tomorrow. I’ll check tomorrow morning to see if the magazine identifies the artist.

I am wondering who painted this picture. There is a huge mural of it in the Bountiful Temple cafeteria……

Where’d that come from, Norbert? I didn’t realize you were that twisted.

It makes it sound like people who had an easy, luxurious life. It’s fascinating how perspective can change reality.

I think they borrowed this from a Soviet propaganda poster and airbrushed out a smiling Stalin from the upper right corner.

I believe the father in the picture could break Arnold Friberg’s Nephi in half (the forearms!).

I do love that the dad is holding the baby.
