hearts today if they do I 1 do ilo not if they do president joseph young does hiot not for it was one of the most moat glo rious moments of his ther in time or in eternity when he opened his eyes in thes the spirit p world and struck hands with joseph smith with brigham young w with h his fathers house and with t the L e L elders 1 of israel with whom ho he has been associated here on the earth more or less for the last 50 beirs of his life ilfe if bro joseph ever felt while in the flesh to shout h 0 ut glory hallelujah he did so when this new birth took place now kow these are some of the

in the tomb I 1 did not know where they came carne from from why they were liere here where they were going komg it was taking as it were a leap deap in the dark but thank god the blooded blood of chrastha Chris christ tha has s barst the ands bands of death given us power in the resurrection and the tho gospel of jesus christ has pointed out toua tout to us the blessings the glory and the privileges that we ire can enjoy in this world and in the world to come death has lost its gloom with me with the latter day saints I 1 do not know whether the spirit of BrotherTo brother joseph seph is watching over ua us today to day dayi seeing this funeral hear bear hearing ing us talk upon this subject or whether in the eternal world his joy is so great that ho he will say in his own mind wind to those that are left behind hindy hindi bury my body I 1 have got something ede eke to do L do not know that this is the case cae god has not revealed it to tome me but one thing I 1 can say from the very depth of my heart and that is I 1 rejoice and thank god gid that I 1 had the privilege of df becoming acquainted edwith with such a man as president joseph young and of bein being associate ed with him in the fl flesh esli esil for nearl nearly 50 years his life is before me ant and you it ift has been bed bet re the heavens beavens and the cartar A purer man a more virtuous

principalities and powers and be made anheir of god and joint heil heir hell with jesus christ to uil all u 11 the blen bles blessings ing s that god himself possesses can you mourn I 1 cannot I 1 wish I 1 might live as good a life and receive a as a and exaltation as ast I 1 am sati bati sned brother young will obtain helias hellas he has lived to a great age my bly first acquaintance with him was in 1634 in I Ki ortland rlland I 1 traveled with him in zions ziona camp a thousand miles led by president joseph smith with brother brigham and many mamy othe others rs from whom the lord afterwards chose the first quorum of the twelve apostles of whom brother pratt anti and myself hare tare the tiie only ones nes now alive I 1 always rejoiced in the society of brother young ile he is from a noble family and perhaps it is my duty here to say something with regard to his father I 1 made a remark in some of my public di discourses 4 that father joseph smith was the first patriarch ordained in this church and kingdom I 1 should have been more explicit in this thi smatter matter the father of df joseph young and brigham young was the first ordained Patri patriarch archin in this generation but he was ordained as patriarch of his own family he be did lot not officiate clate as the patriarch of the church as father joseph joeeph smith did up to the day of 0 his hi death I 1 wished tomake to make these remarks because I 1 consider they are just and right well now what say to you with regard to bro bno joseph young you are acquainted with him he has been in your midst he was ordained the first president of the seventies in 1835 1935 he has held that office from that time up to the day of his death and he will hold that position anft anit an 1 the keys of that position after death and after therbur the resurrection fe not NO t only so but bitt h he a will occupy a rs place as a king and priest to the most high god ruling and reigning in the house houge of israel for ever I 1 want to say to the sons and daughters of brother joseph young follow your father as he has h as followed christ and you will rejoice in the eternal worlds with him he hag has been a good father to you a good husband and a good counselor not only to his famil family V but to the church and kingdom of god he has been associated with these seven beven presidents of thor ther first quorum of seven beven seventies ties there are but few of those living today to day and firoba are here bere ere remaining rema lema ining who were ordained the same time that he was he was ordained a 4 patriarch 1 under the hands bands and direction of his brother brigham in the endowment house a few years ago he has held heid that office from that day to this and his tabernacle will lie in the tomb but a very short time until it will burst the bouin bondar of death and come forth out of the grave and that spirit that lof loi today duy is rejoicing in the spirit world will again return to the same game house I 1 am glad of 0 that L I 1 dejoice rejoice in that principle that we can again have our bodies In which we have traveled on foot without money and without reward for many mahy thousands of miles to preach the gospel in which we bake have labored in weariness and hun bun her and thirst to perform this labor now this is a great consolation to me that this same house that our oun spirits dwell in to darwe dayve can have im thed thet aftring of the resurrection this will be the casewitz case with prest brest joseph young who lies here before nsf jus to dav day I 1 was very much pleased in looking upon his face so natural so pleasant io BO lifelike life like in one sense of the word it looks as though he went to sleep and was happy his tabernacle shows as happiness offis
