Commaad from flod.
, Tha eldest ton of Joseph Hmlth. who
was only a lad of 12 when his father and
Vncle Hyrum Smith were shot by a
masked mob at Carthaae, III., In ISM, be
lieved that In 18T0 he received a command
from Ood to go to Am boy, 111 and moot
with some of the elders of the church In
conference there. lie went, and was hailed
with great Joy by the assembled mem
bers, who Immediately ordained him to be
their president. A reorganisation was ef
fected, and thus the young man took up
what became his life-work, vis., the
vindication of his father's (ood name,
which had been trailed In the dust of dis
honor because of the apostasy from the
original (ends, and the attempt to make
the religion for which his father laid
down Ms life, honorable In the sight of
men. Mow aril this man succeeded, cir
cumscribed and handicapped as he was,
by popular error and false understand
ings, is evidenced by the unlvorsal tribute
of respect paid to him by the press of
the entire nation at the time of his death
last Uectmber. His life was sincere,
Vpright and kindly, and he shunned ail
false pretensions or expediencies. Hi
liorno aas a humble frame dwelling, and
he died possessed of no other worldly
'kikmIs and no logacy to his family except
the enviable one of a name of honor
among men. To his persistent efforts, the
line of distinction has been drawn between
his church and the one In the valley of
the west, presided over at present by his
Kinsman, Joseph Fielding Smith, son of
Jlyrum Emith. killed at Carthsgn In 1S44.
At times the differences of the two
churches have" been brought before the
courts of tbs land, in tha effort to estab
lish title to a piece of ground In Ipde
pendencs. Mo., which the first president
of the original church designated as the
acred spot where a great temple should
be erected. .Three times has the Unite J
States supreme court decided that tl4
Iteorganlaed church Is the legal successor
to the one founded tn 1S, ths Utah
faction being apostate, and that the
doctrines of polyamy, etc., were Intro
duced into the tonets of that church
utterly outside of and contrary to any
authority based upon the faith of beliefs
of the original one. v

At Independence, Mo., where Joseph
Hmlth resided for the last eight years of
liia life, his followers number over 1.700.
according to the last report of the re-
order of the branch. They form rt rtupii
jwrt of the government of the town of
32.0.0 and are found to stand almost as
a unit upon the morul aide of every
iUtlon of civic conctru. Ninety-five
Jier tent of these, people are opposed to
the liquor Interest In every form, and
rtuin tholr ward In the city they roll up
a so Md vote against It. ' They are In
dustrious and charitable and have a
financial system which enables them CO
tare for their ewn poor, aged, sick, or
phaned or other dependents and seldom'
or never do any of their members come
upon either town or county for support.
Too, their ministers are unpaid, except
that their families are supported from
the church treasury, and all church ap
pointees, whether holding positions high
tir low, at home or In ths missionary
field, receive an equal amount according
to their schedules. Joseph Hmlth hlmaulf
was no exception to this rule anifprlded
himself upon having shared the lot of
Ms brethren, however humble It was.
Vpon his death-bod he said, "I hnve
never lined a dishonest dollar In my life,
und I have never knowingly wronged a
buman being man, woman or child."
