To Brother Joseph on Earth In the
world of spirits, cumly looking up TO your
scene Of earthly probation, beholdipg the
Saints at their several stakes, unong the
Geniilos and IN the wilderness, marking
the wanderers from the faith and those
who adhere stcadfasily 10 the doctrine
taught by Inc when in the flesh, my heart
is filled with the deepest joy, seeing you
my follower, pursuing the line ! marked
ont, and initiating my example. You are
a true Latter Day Saint. Not q single
inclination towards what the world calls
honesty enters your heart.
Not a twinge Of conscience for a thou
sand and one lies, dislurbs Your waking
or sleeping moments. Humbug, hypoc-
rucy deceit, Aattery, oil my qualities and
characteristics, YOU practice to a praise
worry extent. Impudencc, most bruzen
impudenee, is charningly developed in
you. As in the temple at Nauyoo, | I'M

Unable faISehoods, SO you, in your temple at
Kaneswlle, send out among men, through

Brother Joe my mantle has fallen on shout

you even surpass me. While in the

O rare Joe Johnsoni
But Joseph have YOU not, in working
for The temporal welfare Of His Excellen-
cy, neglected the interests Of the church :
| much fear me that political lies have
crowded out that well stocked doctrinaI
store by which you were converted to

not, and sol trust, seize the favorable mo-

have dashed among his enemies and put

mendous flow or--ink, and his heart is
warmed toward you, 10 introduce to hun
he glories OF our church. What a con-
vert he would be. How admirably are
his qualities fitted 10 fight The scoAing UNI

my brolher-were not my quarters incon-
vicinity warm and exertiop rather inpru-
dent, | would mount my chair and in the
old NAuvoo style, thunder away on thai
countenance and ~eloquently describe the
black deep set eyes, the oyerhanging bushy
eyebrows, the tightly closed mouth, il
all a Mormon face. But heat and lime
pres me. Oaer him the leadership Of thc
Saints. Picture 20 him The grandeur, th'
magn'iiaenee of ihe Temple iroia which he
could issue his DEGREES and proclaim ions
