  Latter Day Saint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Latter Day Saint is a person who is with the Latter Day Saint religion, a number of denominations that believe in a restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ through the prophet Joseph Smith, Jr.
The British spelling "Latter-day Saint" with the hyphen originated in 1852 when the LDS Church was incorporated in Salt Lake City, Utah, but a similar term, "Latter Day Saint," was used in reference to members of the church from its conception in 1830.

The Temple Endowment, as administered in modern temples, comprises instruction relating to the significance and sequence of past dispensations, and the importance of the present as the greatest and grandest era in human history.
