Show Latter-day Saints, so far as this life is consornod. While on this subject I wished to mention a great Historian whoso name was Joseph, with the Suffix (Josephus) although the world would call his history profane, yet it is extensivelly quoted in proof of the sacred writings, by holy men in our day. Now Mr. Editor, I have given you a few of the many Josephs of noble birth and character, and as there are scores of thorn unmention-od unmention-od please let us hare them. S. K. Gifford. Rockville, Utah, April 15, 1390. CORRESPONDENCE 70CI23PZZ. Editor Union: Under tho above name I wish to express my true sentiments. The name Joseph is dear to me, and I have long wished to express my feelings on that subject, nd, having heard read (for I am blind and cannot read,) an article in the Union headed "A Double Birthday," Birth-day," both being christened Joseph it aroused my thought on the subject, and I will now say that, though there may be, and no doubt is, some who would disgrace the name, vet I do not think there is a name in all Christendom that will stand " so high, at least so far as the number of individuals bearing that name are concerned. The name to me is almost sacred, next to that given to the babe of Bethlehem. I will now mention a few of the most prominent among them, aud leave the balence to be summed up by the readers of this article. I will first mention tUe little dreamer, son of Rachel whose dreams aroused the jealousies of his Brethren who sought his destruction des-truction and finally sold him into Egypt, by which means he became the savior of those who had previously pre-viously sought his life and ho thus saved his Fathers whole house, consisting of over forty members, as also Egypt, together with the people of the surrounding country, i from perishing in the seven years of famine. Also his blessing prevailed pre-vailed above his brethren, ' ; ' Next in order comes the last born of Lehi, born in the wilderness, wilder-ness, while on their journey to the Promised Land, nearly six hundred years before the birth of Christ. His blessings and his posterity extended to the fulness of times. . . ' I will next mention the Joseph who espoused the Virgin Mary and became the foster Fath. r of the son of Cxocl, and in obediencer to the voice of Ood lied into Egypt to save the child from the hands of tho Assassins, and again obeyed the heavenly voice and returned to his native land. Next in order comes the Joseph who begged the body of Christ, after he was crucified, and laid him safe in his own sepulcher. I will now mention a Joseph, the sen of one Asahael Smith. He (Joseph) became the Father of another Joseph, who, in fulfilment of a manifestation of his Grandfather, Grand-father, Asahael, that one of his posterity pos-terity would yet Revolutionize the world on lleligious matt3rs. He was Joseph Sniitlr Jr., whose history his-tory and labors we are all familiar with. I can truly sav he was the greatest prophet, and performed the greatest work of any man excepting ex-cepting Jesus, that ever dwelt upon up-on this earth. Then I will next mention Joseph Young, to whom the Prophot said "Brother Joseph, the Lord has made you President of the -Seventies;" to which position he was afterwards ordained and set apart and filled with honor, until he died with old age. I will now mention Joseph F. Smith, son of the Patriarch Hyrum Smith, who is now the third man in the Church of Jesus Christ of |
