Brigham Young and Joseph Smith; How Great They are

Gospel Standards, pg. 18; “BRIGHAM YOUNG AND JOSEPH SMITH. While we honor Brigham Young as the great statesman, the great pioneer and colonizer, we must not forget that Brigham Young built upon the foundation, and fulfilled the predictions, made by the Prophet Joseph Smith. And Brigham Young, great as he was, on all occasions magnified the Prophet Joseph. I honor and love him for the reverence he gave to the man who was the instrument in the hands of almighty God of restoring the gospel to the earth.—Era, 4:690-691.” – Heber J. Grant

Proverbs 16:18; “Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”

Proverbs says it all doesn’t it?

Apparently Young built doctrines upon Smith and not God Almighty.
