MOUMON HISTORY
EABLV
Sixtyfour years ago the Prophet
Smith und his brother Iiyrum
joeph
patriarch of the Church
Smith the
murdered In Calhago Jail Illinois
ire
i prophet was then In his thirty
The cnr having been born at Shar
ninth year
the
county Vermont on
onWindsor
on as
ot December 1805 Ills career
3rd icllglouB teacher and reformer Ita d
n he
of 1820 when
hegllnln tho spring
begun
was living with his parents at tho
village of Manchester In the
llttlo
western part ot tho state of New York
In his own narrative that
He tells us
greatly agitated upon the
his mind was
subject Df Ills souls salvation What
was known as a religious revival was
taking place III his neighborhood
Ministers of the Methodist church of
the Baptist church of tho Presbyterian
church and of othcr churches I sup
had mct together for that pur
pose of
pose and were holding n scries
camp meetings near where Joseph
lived He was the son ot an honest
farmer and at that time about n
years ot ngc Sonic of his relatives
wero proselyted to the Prqsbyterlan
faith hut ho himself was Inclined to
who
sinrd Methodism Ho had a friend
TOM a Methodist minister to whom he
confided his thoughts nnd feelings hut
for some reason ho did not connect
himself with any of those churches
Nevertheless he was much concerned
for ho was n slnccro seeker after truth
and it was common In those times far
moro than now to have A religion and
a church standing of some Idnda con
dition of things It seems to me prefer
able to one in which the people irrs
careless about religion Indifferent to
ward the great things pertaining to
Ood und eternity An a general rule
It Is better far better to belong to
porno churclr than to none nt all es
pecially If to rofuiln from Joining a
church piesupnoen disregard for all
religious principle
That was not tho case with this
young boy Ho fain would have
united with one of tho churches if It
could have been shown to him that one
of them was the true church of Christ
Which onn of them was right That
wns all ho vjmtcd to know Ho heard
tho Methodists declare that their
church was the true church and he
heard tho Presbyterians affirm with
equal enrnestncsa thai their church
was the true one imri the Baptists In
urging their claim wcro Just nil earn
est ns the others The boy was be
nlldsrcil lie did not have enough
wisdom to guide him to a choice and
so IIB held aloof from all the church
nnd went to God In prayer asking Him
to solve the problem
JQS PBS FIIIST VISION
He had been reading In till Bible
thoso uords of the Apostle James If
any of you lack wisdom let him usk ot
Gall that glvoth to nil men llbernlly
and upbraldoth not nnd It shall be
gIven him Trusting In this promise
ho wunt Into thc foresli for western
New York was nlmost a forest at that
time nnd bowing down In tno silence
of the grove he besought the Lord that
lie would let him know which otnll
tlw churches wan the true church of
Ihrlstt Joseph tells us that the llrst
manifestation he received was one of
darkness a power seized him that h
Imil never felt before It paialyzed
his tongue so IhHt ho could not sponk I
Oral it seemed as If he must glvo wnv
to thnt overwhelming Influence which
lidd Hpi In the pinup of misery mid
despair n tho continued to pray
not orally hut In thought and ut tile
moment when ho felt that he must
nbundcn himself to destruction dellv
ran < cnmo He wiw n light directly
over IIs bend MJ surpassingly brilliant
that UH hplemlor dimmed the noonday
sun In tho mltUt of thin pillar nf
glory he saw two beings In the linn
of men nnd ono of them addressing
Joheph by name ZIOn pointing to tho

Tho boy waR told that ho must not

TUB PHIKSTHOOD ItBSTORBD
While translating thin record Joseph
Smith lecelved a visitation from an
other angel John th Baptist who or
domed him and Oliver Cnwdery to the
Anronlc priesthood which holdH the
keys of the ministering of angels nnd
of the gospel of repentance and of bat
I tlsrn by immersion for tho remission
of sins This mbssengcr told them that
a higher priesthood would yet be con
ferred upon them which would give
power not only lo baptize with water
but to lay hands Upon those baptized
and bestow upon therii the Holy Ghost
Under these two authurltlcn tho Mel
chlzodck and the Anronlc priesthoods
the Church ot Jesus Christ of Latter
day Saints was organized
THE CirUHCH AT KIUTLAND
Within a year after Us organization
the Church migrated to northern Ohio
and had Its headquarters at a place
called Klrtland on the southern shore
of Lake Erie Theio n temple was
built tho lust tcmploi erected by the
Latterday Saints There twelve apoS
ties were chosen to preach the gospel
to all the world There the first presi
dency was organized There a great
principle known a tho law of conse
cration was revealed na the means by
which the world would be prepared for
the glorious coming of the Redeemer
Involved equality In temporal and II
spiritual things It required the mem
iKrs of the Church to consecrate all
their possessions to the building up ol
Zion the New Jerusalem where gath
ered Israel arc to assemble and piep rc
for the coining of the Messiah and the
millennial reign of universal peace
THE MISSOURI TROUBLES
In the summer ot 1S31 a colony of
Latterday Saints was pent to Missouri
to begin the work ot building up Zion
The place for tho New Jerusalem was
at Independence Jackson county and
thin colony was sent there to lay tho
foundations oC the City ot God thai Is
yet to rice upon this continent and be
come the glory of tho whole earth
This Is the belief of the Latterday
Saints In the autumn of 1S33 misun
derstandings arose between our people
and the older seniors and BO fleEce be
come the opposition thnt tIlt colonists
wore expelled from tho lands which
they had purchased from the govern
ment Their houses vera burned
some i > f the people were tarred and
feathered and they wore driven In n
body from Jackson county
In the year iSIS the entire Church
moved to Missouri and In Davlcss and
Caldwcll counties they numbered from
12000 to 15000 souls showing how thu
Church had grown since April 1830
when MX men organized I and only
about 36 persons believed In the doc
trines taught by Joseph Smith Again
there wns trouble misrepresentation
JcaIOiplesstrlresnnd during the win
ter of 1BS8 tho entire community was
expelled from the state under the ex
terminating order of Gov Boggs
Illinois received tho refugees In a kind
and hospitable manner Tho saints
there built the city of Nnuvoo In Han
cock cquntj and made other settle
ments In that region They there gath
ered to the number of about 20000 from
erc o
all parts of the Union from the Cana
dian provinces and from Europe for
by this tlmO the Gospel had been
preached in Great Britain anltho
stream of emigration had begun which
has slnco peopled with the best blood
of Europe as well as tho best blood
America the Rocky Mountain region
where now stands the State of Utah In
the midst of other states and territories
found which these pcoplo have helped to
TIE MAUTyilDOM
H was on tho 27th of June ISM that
the prophet and the patriarch were
murdered whlielmprlsoned In Carthage
jail They had surrendered for trial
They were not law breakers but were
willing to answer to the law for nil that
they had done One of those who hal
plotted their assasBlnatlon said Tho
law cannot reach them hut powder and
ball shall While these helpless pris
oners were awaiting trial under the
pledged protection ot lIla governor of
the state n mob broke Into the Jail
the guards conniving with thorn nnd
theM innocent men were shot to death
Those who slow them escaped punish

TH15 EXODUS

his masterly and Insplicd guldancn tho

seen from accompanying cut tho structure Is most Imposing and has beautiful surroundings It was erected at
1 cost o J15000 and was dedicated entirely free from debt two years ago this summer rue foundations Including
the basement arc of black limestone the walls proper of cream colored brick The seating capacity of tho main hall
and gallery Is 1200 and with added chairs and standing room 1500 persons can be ended Into the Interior There
are four wards In Lehl and Sunday services are conducted at the tabernacle by the First Second and Third while
meetings are held by the ourth In Its own chapel

muntR of that nl und fairminded
len who do not ali prejudice to sway
and warp their Judgment praise tIle
woilc don by Brlgham Young and his
people but they do not yet rotnprahend
tho work done by Joseph Smith Do
you know what resident Young said
of tho prophet He said I am Joseph
KmlUiH apostle T have built upon his
foundation I Is a fact that Joseph
Smith foretold and to Home extent
proixircd for the exodus of his people to
tho west years before they were led
hither by Brlgham Young AH curlY ns I
1842 tho prophet declared that the Lat
terda Saints would become 1 mighty
people In the mldbt of thn Rocky moun
tains Brigham Youngs highest claim
In relation to the work that he per
formed was that he had bullded upon
the foundation laid by Joseph Smith
Ho was a fulnllcr of Josephs predic
tions the executor of Josephs plans
TilE SPIRITUAL UNSEEN
But tho greater part of Joseph
Smltho work and J muy add of Brig
ham Youngs trkin not comprehend
ed today by tho wisdom of the world
I havf often been surprised that In
telligent people can come hero and go
away or remain anti have no better
understanding oven of the temporal
concerns of Mormuntsm to say nothing
of UM spiritual concerns than they
nodal to have There are many Inlelll
gont falrmlndod men and women who
nol sallsllcd with what they hem
come to Utnh lo see for themselves this
muchtalkrdnf people and their In
stitutions And what do they seo
They HCO the tabernacle lhlear
the great organ anti the music of tho
choir thoy behold tho temple they sur
vey tWrfarniR the llelds the orchards
and they praise the Industry of the
people but they go away entirely un
10
informed or at least unconcerned re
garding the greater things tho spiritual
thing that pertain not to tho redemp
tion of deserts and tho building of cities
alone hit to the salvation of souls and
the creation and redemption oC worlds
There arc phases of Mormonlsm that
entirely escape the attention of tho
wise and mighty and why Is it so
The glory ot God It Intelligence
said Joseph Smith It Is Impossible for I
n man to be wet In Ignorance
Whatever principles ot Intelligence wo
attain to In this life will rIM with us I
In tlio resurrection These teachlngB
show that the founder of Morinonlsm
had an appreciation of Intelligence His
follower also appreciate It and be
cause we appreciate It we marvel that
It can oiirvoy him great problem that
stretches from ptcriilty to eternity and
comprehends time 1 I drop In tile
ocuan survey It listlessly Indifferently
and go away entirely uninformed re
garding It And yet thee 1 > an explan
ation and tilt germ of It 11 In that
ancient paying
Thoro Is a spirit In man but It Is
Thar1
the Inspiration of tho Almighty that
Kiveth It understanding
Mal by searching cannot find out
Owl The spirit of mun can compre
hend the things of man but the things
of God are to bo comprehended only
or tho Spirit of God and our own Intelligence
In tho absence
telligence does not count
sence ot the higher Inspiration Paul
the apostle made this plain when he
said Eyo hath not seen nor car heard
neither have nlen > tl Into tho heart ot
man lho Ihlngs which God hath pro
pared for them thnt hove iiiml Cor

corneil Paul also said God Jwth
revealed them unto UM Ho was re
ferring to those who bellowd In Christ
who lund faith In the Savior of tho
world thoso who had repented oC their
sins who had hnd their hlna washed
awny by 1111 and had received the
Holy Ghost by thin laying on of hands
Paul Will speaking of them and to

For what man knoweth the things

THE SPKAKERS TESTIMONY
I bear this testimony which God lisa
given to mo concerning the Prophet
Joseph Smith concerning President I
BrIgham Young concerning the work
which the world calls Mormonlmn
but which we know to bo lho restored
gospel of the Redeemer of mankind
AVii lo nol worship losoph Smith
we worship God and our Savior IH
Jesus Christ but wo recognlzo Joseph
as a prophet and Brlgham as a
prophet We hold that men cal lio
servants of God today can bear the
holy priiiithimd and receive eonimunl
alloim from on high tile winui ns
ancient men could I depends entirely
upon whether or not the laws govern
ing such things have been oboyejl l
wo follow Christ I wo embrace tho
true gospel It wo receive of the Spirit
of God hero Is no good reason why Hu
should not reveal Hlmsolf and com
mune with man today ns Ho did form
erly This Is the preaching of tho Lat
Mormonism terday Saints thla Is the atlllude of
I do nol testify to the truthfulness of
the gospel do not like the phiase I
can understand hoW wo can pal I lit
tie boy or a little girl upon the head
and compliment them on their truth
fulncss But tho gospel ot Jesus
Christ Is truth Itself and I cannot
treat It us a Ito child and pralso
It for UK IrulhfulncHs I do nol like thu
phrase Neither will 1 testify to the
truth of the gospel I would b too
much like gilding refined gold or paint
Ing the lIly I 1M not necessary to
any that Old II omnipotent or thut
eternity Is greater than time These
are selfevident propositions There I
fore I do not testify that truth Is true
but I testify that God has given me u I
knowledge ot the truth lIes brought
mu to know that what the world calls
Mormonlsm IK the go pol of ChrlM
That gospel being truth Itself can
not ho made any moro so by our testi
fying lo Its truth or Its truthfulness
Wo can testify to our knowledge of tIle
truth and that Is what I do In your
hearing today
I am not IL Mormon bcconeu my pa
n
rents were Mormons I am not a traditional
ditional Latterday Saint I am nol
t Latterday Saint bccauso I have had
a dream havo seen a vision or heard
an unknown tongue You may call
thebo tentlmonlesthiey are In a cer
tain sense A testimony Is the cvi
ilcncu on has concerning n thing But
tIm greatest ovlilonuo that God over
gave lo me concerning lhln work was
not a droam nor a vision nor nn un
known longuenor the gIft of prophecy
nor any of the gifts of tho Spirit
thOM signs that follow the bellovoi
When God gavo me the testimony that
JlVO
I prlzo above nil other things I was
whel Ho mado clear to me the mean
ing of life when He showed mo my
place In history In the mlds of man
kind and gave mo the Unowlfdgo of
what Ho rcnujred of me In order that
my life might bo a success nnd that
this mortal span might melt and merge
Into eternal life when all things earth
ly have passed away God did the
trreatest thing for mo when Ho gave
me the reason for my being here re
vealed to mo whence I came why I
am on earth anti what awaits me In
the future
Thai is my testimony and anything
and everything thut hua helped me to
that knowledge Is a part of my tonG
mony hut tho nuinmum bonum th
chief good of It all Is that I have been
brought by tho power oC the Holy
Ghost to a knowledge lot the truth
and I know what God requires at m >
hands I know that I lived before I
conic bore imd that I shall lIve hfltr
I leavo here and that It depends upon
my conduct while hero whether my
future shall bo happy or miserable
GODS GREATEST GUT
And tho same with you my friend
You who lack that testimony should
wrestle In prayer with the Lord
should give Him no ret day or unIt
until He has I I brought you to that
knowledge and gIven you that key
so that you may work out your salva
tion nnd bo tho arehllects of nn eter
nal destiny Houses lemplcs taber
nacles will perish
Tho cloudcapl tower the gorgeous
palaces
rue tolcimi temples lie great globe
Itself
Yea all that It Inherit shall dissolve
And like the baseless fabric of u vl
nion
Ixsavo not n rack behind
So says Shakespeare I Is true The
earth will pass away tho clemenls will
molt with fervent heat Gold and sil
ver houses und lands catllo and bhecp
orchards and meadows all thcsu Wll
perish But there IH ono thing that
will survive thw wreck of matter and
tho crush of worlds It Is eternal life
and to give the knowlcdgu or how to
obtain eternal life Is the greatest thing
that God can do for man In time
Slay tho Holy Spirit soul upon oUt
hearts tho testimonies that we hale
received May Ho keep UH In tile
straight and narrow way May wo bo
nblo to lay hold upon eternal life the
greatest gift of God through JCSUH
Christ our Lord Amen

In the world of spirits where they go

But St Paul Informs us of thna

houne It II new not so I would
have told you
At least one Inference may he drawn
from the above quotations which Is
that thoso who have obeyed the lawn
of tho gospel am separate nnd apart
from thoso who have not obeyed Wo
ari not to suppose however that tho
prison spoken ot IB n IIOUBO of walls
strong door and Iron bars hut it la
a portion of the world
I porion spirit the con
dition nnd environments of which are
not conducive to the complete happi
ness of thoso who Inhabit it and tn
soint It Is a place of torment To tho
righteous to thoso who have known
nnd kept Gods laws that world Is I
place of bliss a place of rest I II rea
sonable to Infer nlso that yonder as
here there Is n Church and kingdom of
God Should not thin knowledge be nn
Incentive to mints to strive through
tho ordinances of tile gospel to bring
out their kindred dead tromthose
klndrol those regions
gions of darkness nnd that state of
hopelessness Into the light and happi
ness of that blessed kingdom of Christ
our Lord
REPENTANCE AFTER DEATH
Ono of the great objects sought In
preaching the gospel now or at any
time Is to get men to repent Evident
ly It the dead are preached to It Is
for the purposg of bringing them to
repentence thai tho ordinances of the
gospel may havo u hold on them When
1iesus was with his disciples he an
nounced his Intention of preaching
to tho dead
John S 25 2S Verily verily I say
unto you the hour Is coming and now
Is when tho dead shall hear tho voice
of the SOl of God arid they that hoar

tlio hour If coming In the which all that
Are In the graves shah hear his voice
The Apostle Peter tolls us that while
Christs body lay In tim tomb he per
former n very Important mission In
the spirit world
1 Peter 3 12OFoi Christ also
hath once sintered for sln the just i
I fur the unjust that he might bring alit 1
to God being put to loath in the flesh
but quickened by the spirit V9 By
which also he went and preached un
to the cplrlts In prison Which some
time wore dlBObsUtent when once tho
longsulterlng of God waited In the
days ot Noah
1 1cter 4 6 For for this cause was
tho gospel preached also to thorn that
tire dead that they might bo judged
according to men In the flesh but llvq
according to God In tho spirit
Many other passages ot Serlpturo
could bo pointed out to show that them
dead have the gospel preached them
I the dead therefore have tho gospel
offered thernthen It surely follows that
the principle of ropentenco Is mani
fested also Tho dead may thorcforobe
llevo and repent
