Codes and Ciphers in LDS History

• By far, the most interesting thing about the guest speaker was the fact that the Church used coded messages. I never knew this and thought it was amazingly cool. I also thought the Masonic code/pigpen code was pretty interesting and cool looking. I also thought the Larrabee's cipher was a pretty clever idea.
• The guest speaker said that the Church members used telegram codes to warn when there was a US marshal on board a train. I wasn't sure exactly how they used code in this instance. This was probably the hardest thing for me to understand. I think I missed something when she explained it.
