Joseph Smith was raised Up by the j)owcr of Gxd and the. revelafion ol Jesus Christ. to organize this Church and kingdom in the dispensation of the ful- ness ol 'times. His life was short, as was the 'Savior's.- but it was a great work that he performed in the flesh. The Savior lived about three and a half years after He entered the ministry. Joseph Smith lived some fourteen years from the time lie re- eeiyed the plates- and translated them into tlie l.ingiioh language. tie laid down his life, as did Christ; and His Apostles, for the word 'of God and testimony of Jesus Christ. He will rise in his glorified body and meet again with his brethren, the Apostles and Klders of Israel and this people, and will stand in days to come as the leader among us in celestial glory. I feel to bear my testimony to this. It matters not about the unbelief of men. They cannot turn away the work of Almighty God. The Lord has set His hand to cany out these great principles which He has revealed, the establishment of the Xion of God and the 'preparation for the coming of .Son- of Man.. What has been said aboii t the mountains of Israel will have its fultillment.. 'The judgments of God 'will 'follow in the earth in fulfillment of what has been said, and no power on earth can slay them. I am anxious, although my life his been preserved to this great 'age, I still am anxious that we as a people' may do our duty, may live our" religion, may keep the faith, may so walk before the Xord that thedloly Ghost may. be our constant companion to lead us in the days that lie before us. This is my prayer arid de- sire in the riame of Jesus Chris- t- Amen.- - : ".
