==MigrationMigrazione tonello Utah==

<!--

Snow and his family, with wagons and livestock, joined a group of emigrants and moved across the [[Mississippi River]] into [[Iowa]] in February 1846. On the way west, Snow again became ill and the family stopped at [[Mount Pisgah (Iowa)|Mt. Pisgah, Iowa]]. Three Snow children were born at the Mormon refugee settlement, but one child did not survive. Snow was called to preside over the church organization in Mt. Pisgah and actively raised money to assist the bands of emigrants in their move west. The Snow family moved on to the [[Salt Lake Valley]] in 1848.

Riga 124:

In 1864, Snow was sent on a mission to the [[Hawaiian Islands|Sandwich Islands (Hawaiian Islands)]]. He went on this mission with [[Ezra T. Benson]] and [[Joseph F. Smith]]. They were responding to messages from [[Jonatana Napela]] and other Hawaiian church members about the irregular administration of the church by Walter Gibson. While here, Snow was seriously injured but was healed through the ministration of holders of the [[Priesthood (LDS Church)|priesthood]].<ref>See Biography and Family Record of Lorenzo Snow.</ref>

Some{{who|date=Septembersettembre 2010}} accused Snow of engineering the election of [[Thomas Kearns]], his friend and a wealthy Catholic to the United States Senate in 1901. However it may have been a shrewd decision to help ensure statehood for Utah by electing a non-Mormon.<ref>Malmquist, O.N.:''The First 100 Years,'' pp..</ref>

==Other activities==

Riga 145:

As he began his tenure as president, Snow had to deal with the aftermath of legal battles with the United States over the practice of [[plural marriage]]. Men engaging in plural marriage were still being arrested and confined in [[Utah Territory]]. Some members of the LDS Church did not accept the [[1890 Manifesto]] put forth by [[Wilford Woodruff]], and there was a strong division of opinion on plural marriage even in the priesthood hierarchy of the church.

The LDS Church was also in severe financial difficulties, some of which were related to the legal problems over plural marriage. Snow approached this problem first by issuing short term bonds with a total value of one million [[dollar]]s. This was followed by emphatic teaching on [[tithe|tithing]]. It was during this time that the LDS Church officially adopted the principle of tithing, the payment of 10% of one's income, as a hallmark of membership. Snow gave an address at the [[St. George Tabernacle]] in [[St. George, Utah]], imploring the Latter-day Saints to pay tithes of corn, money or whatever they had in order to have sufficient rain. After much patience and faith, it rained in southern Utah.{{Citation needed|date=Septembersettembre 2008}} In a short period of time, the members' practice of paying a tithe reduced the church's debt and financial difficulties to a manageable level.

Snow died of pneumonia in [[Salt Lake City, Utah]] and was succeeded in the church presidency by [[Joseph F. Smith]].
