History: On his mission in Scotland, David O. McKay had an experience that gave him the motto which he used his entire life. After he and his companion returned from visiting Stirling Castle, they passed a building where the stone above the door had a carved inscription: "What-e'er thou art, act well thy part." This message struck David O. McKay forcefully, and he decided to devote himself completely to always doing his best in whatever responsibility he had. Aside from the motto engraved at the top, the symbols and shapes create an intriguing puzzle, when understood; give a whole new perspective to the powerful motto. See if you can figure it out!

It is now in the Museum of Church History and Art in Salt Lake City, Utah.
