I VISION Of THE REDEMPTION
OF THE DEAD AS SEEN BY
. PRES. JOSEPH F, SMITH
I (From Doseret News)
This "Vision of the Redemption
o'f the Dead" was submitted, Octo
ber 31. 1918. to the Counselors m
the First Presidency, the Council
ot the Twelve and the Patriarch,
and by them unanimously accept
ed. It is published in The Im
provement Era for December, to
which magazine The News makes
acknowledgement for the privilege
of here reproducing ii.
Its publication at this lime will
emphasize and make clear to those
who attended the conference or
have since read its proceedings,
the significance of which Presi
dent Smith's openiug remarks, Oc
tober 1, when he said:
, "I have not lived alone these
five months. I have dwelt in tho
spirit of prayer, of supplication, of
faith, and of determination; and I
have had my communication with
tho Spirit of the Lord continuous
On the third of October, in thq year
nineteen hundred and eighteen, I sat
in mv room nondering over the Scrip
tures" and reflecting upon the great
atoning sacrifice that was made by the
Sou of God for the redemption of the
world, and the great and wonderful
love made manifest by the Father and
the Sou in the coming of the Redeem
er into the world, that through his
Atonement and by obedience to the
principles of the gospel, mankind
might be saved.

reverted to the writings of the Apostle
Petctr to the primitive saints scat
tered abroad throughout Pontus, Gal
atiar Cappadocia. and other parts of
j Asia wherp the gospel had been
preached after the crucifixion of the
Lord. I opened tho Bible and read the
third and fourth chapters. of the first
epistle of Peter, and as I read I was
greatly impressed, more than I had
ever been before, with the following
passages:
For Christ also hath once suf
fered for sins, the just for the un
just, that he might bring us to
God, being put to death in the
flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
By which also he went and
preached unto the spirits in pris
Which sometimes were diso
bedient, when once the longsuf
ferlng of God waited In the days
of Noah, while the ark was pre
paring, wherein few, that is, eight
souls were saved by water. (1-Peter
3:18-20.)
For for this cause was the gos
pel preached also to them that
are dead, that they might be
judged according to men in the
flesh, but live according to God
in the spirit. (1 Peter 4:6.)
As I pondered over these things
which are written, the eyes of my un
derstanding were opened, and the
Spirit o the Lord rested upon me,
and I saw the hosts of the dead, both
, small and great. And there were
gathered together in one place an in
numerable company of the spirits of
the lust, who had been faithful in the
testimony of Jesus while they lived In i
I, mortality, and who had offered sacrl-
ft flee in the similitude of the great sac-
ft rifice of the Son of God, and had suf- ,
p fered tribulation in their Redeemer's
; mortal life, firm in the hope of a glo-
I rious resurrection, through the grace j
ffl of God the Father and his Only Begot- j
II ten Son, Jesus Christ.
B I beheld that they were filled with j
El joy and gladness, and were rejoicing ,
II together because the day of their
Bit deliverance was at hand. They were (
II assembled awaiting the advent of the
! Son of God Into the spirit of the
world, to declare their redemption
II from the bands of death. Their sleep- ;
bI ing dust was to be restored unto its
If perfect frame, bone to his bone, and
H the sinews and the flesh upon them.-
the spirit and the body to be united
never again to be divided, that they
j might receive a fulness of joy.
III "While this vast multitude waited and
I conversed, rejoicing in the hour of
l their deliverance from the chains of
II death, the Son of God appeared, declar
ed ing liberty to the captives who had
I pt been faithful, and there hq preached
III to them the everlasting gospel, the doc
j trine of the resurrection and tlie re
in t demption of mankind from "the fall,
;!fjj and from individual sins on conditions
Ml of repentence. But unto the wicked
he did not go, and among the ungodly
J 1 1 and the unrepentant who had defiled
i 3 I - themselves while in the flesh, his voice
jlfj IB was not raised, neither did the rebel-
;li I - lioUs who rejected the testimonies and
III the warnings of the ancient prophets
!p3 behold his presence, nor look upon his
la! face. "Where these were, darkness
,JH reigned, but among the righteous there
Ml was peace, and the saints rejoiced in
jjaj their redemption, and bowed the-knee
and acknowledged the Son of God as
: their Redeemer and Deliverer from
all death and the chains of hell. Their

upon them and they sang praises unto
his holy Name.
I marveled, for I understood that the
Savior spent about three years in bis
ministry among the Jews and those
of the house of Israel, endeavoring to
teach" them the everlasting gospel and
call them unto repentance; and yet,
notwithstanding his mighty works and
miracles and proclamation of the truth
in great power and authority, there
were hut few who hearkened to his
voice and rejoiced in his presence and
roccived salvation at his hands. But
his ministry among those who were
dead was limited to the brief time in
torvqning between tho crucifixion and
his resurrection; and I wondered at
the words of Peter wherein he said
that the Son of God preached unto the
spirits in prison who sometimes were
disobedient, when once the longsuf
Teving of God waited in the days of
Noah, and how it was possible for him
to preach" To those spirits and per
form tho necessary labor among ihem
in so short a time.
And as I wondered, my eyes were
opened, and my understanding quick
ened.and I perceived that ;he Lord
went not in person among the wicked
and the disobedient who had rejected
the truth, to teach them: but behold,
from among the righteous he organ
ized his forces and appointed messen
gers, clothed with power and author
ity, and commissioned them to go forth
and carry the light of the gospel to
them that were in darkness, even to
all the spirits of men. And thus was
tno gospel prcacneu to uie dead. And
the chosen messengers went forth to
declare the acceptable day of the Lord,
and proclaim liberty to the captives
who were bound; even unto all who
would repent of their sins and receive
the gospel. Thus was the gospel
preached to those wlio had died in
their sins, without a knowledge of the
truth, or in transgression, having re
jected the prophets. These were
taught faith in God, repentance from
sin, vicarious baptism for the remis
sion of sins, the gift of the Holy Ghost
by the laying on of hands, and all other
principles of the gospel that were nec
essary for litem to know in order to
qualiTy themselves that they might be
judged according to men in the flesh,
but live according to God in the spirit.
And so it was made known among
the dead, both small and great, the un
righteous as well as tho faithful, that
redemption had been wrought through
the sacrifice of tho Son of God upon
the cross. Thus was it made known
that our Redeemer spent his time dur
ing his sojourn In the world of spirits,
instructing and preparing the faith
ful spirits ofthe prophets who had tes
tified of him in the flesh, that they
might carry the message of redemp
tion unto all the dead unto whom he
could not go personally because of
their rebellion and transgression, that
they through the ministration of his
servants might also hear his words.
Among the great and mighty ones
who were assembled in this vast con
gregation of the righteous, were Father
Adam, the Ancient of Days and father
of all. and our jrlnrimis Afntlmr "Rivo
with many of her faithful daughters
who had lived through the ages and
worshiped the true and living God.
Abel, the first martyr was there, and
his brother Seth, one of the mighty
ones, who was in the express image of
his father Adam. Noah, who gave warn
ing of the flood; Shem, the great High
Priest; Abraham, the father 'of the
faithful; Isaac, Jacob and Moses, the
great law-giver of Israel; Isaiah, who
declared by prophecy that the Re
deemer was anointed to bind up the
broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to
the captives, and the opening of the
prison to them that were bound, were
also there.
Moreover, Ezekiel, who was shown
in vision the great valley of dry bones
which were to be clothed upon with
flesh to come forth again in the re
surrection of the dead, living souls;
Daniel, who foresaw and foretold the
establishment of the kingdom of God
in tho latter days, never again to be
destroyed nor given to other people;
Elias, who was with Moses on the
Mount of Transfiguration, and Mai
achi, the prophet who testified the
coming of Elijah of whom also Mo
roni spake to the Prophet Joseph
Smith declaring that ho should come
before the ushering in of the great
and dreadful day of the Lord, were
also there. The prophet Elijah was to
plantain the hearts of the children the
shadowing the great work to bo done
in tho temples of the Lord in the Dis
pensation of the Fulness of Times, for
the redemption of the dead and the
sealing of the children to their par
ents, lest the whole earth be smitten
with a curse and utterly wasted at
his coming.
All these and many more, even the
prophets who dwelt among the Neph
ites and testified of the coming of the
Son of God, mingled in the vast as
sembly and waited for their deliver
ance, for the dead had looked upon the
long absence of their spirits from their
bodies as a bondage. These the Lord
taught, and gave them power to come
forth, after his resurrection from the
dead to enter into his Father's king
dom, there to be crowned with immor
tality and eternal life, and continue
thenceforth their labors as had been
promised by the Lord, and be partak-

The Prohpet Joseph SmiCh, and my
father, Hyrum Smith, Brigham Young,
John Taylor, Wilford Wdodruff, and
other choice spirits, who were re
served to come forth in the fulness of
times to take part in laying the foun
dations of the great Latter-day avork,
including the building of the temples
and the performance of ordinances
therein for the redemption of the dead,
were also in the spirit world. I ob
served that they were also among the
noble and great ones who were chosen
in the beginning to be rulers in the
Church of God. Even before they
were born, they, with many others,
received their first lessons Jn the
world of spirits, and were prepared
to come forth in the due time of tho
Lord to labor in his vineyard for the
salvation of the suls of men.
I beheld that the faithful elders of
this dispensation, when they depart
from mortal life, continue their labors
in the preaching of the gospel of re-

WILD HEMP TO
BE CULTIVATED
NEW HAZLETON. B. C , Dec. 4.
I Wild hemp has possibilities for the
manufacture of binder twine and its
cultivation may become a part of Can
ada's post-war Industrial program.
The Indians of the coast and interior
of central British Columbia have long
been famous as carvers, weavers and
boat-builders, but it was only recently
that attention was nttracted to the
fine rope which they make from wild
I hemp. At Awillgate in the Bulkley
valley near New Hazleton on the
Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, there
is a village of Indians who display
remarkable skill in making rope from
tho abundant wild hemp which covers
the surrounding country. They have
been making this rope for centuries by
a method of their own and it is so
strong that they use it for towing their
heavily laden canoes up the currents
of swift rivers. This is convincing
proof of its stoutness. They also
make twine and thread from the hemp
but not in such quantities as in the
days before they were able to purchase
these articles cheaply from traders.
The wild hemp closely resembles the
common fire weed of the United
States.
