Exalting Joseph Smith
The Life of Joseph Smith, the Prophet, pg. 21; “It was a part of Joseph Smith’s mission “to combat the errors of ages; to meet the violence of mobs; to cope with illegal proceedings from executive authority; to cut the Gordian knot of powers; to solve mathematical problems of universities with truth—diamond truth.” He performed a work, “not pagan ire, nor tooth of time, nor sword, nor fire, shall bring to naught.” The Prophet’s life was exalted and unselfish. His death was a sealing martyrdom, following after that which was completed upon Calvary for the redemption of a world.” – George Q. Cannon
