gradually driven into Nauvoo. No power
was exerted to protect them, no voice lifted
in their behalf. AT last the inhospitality
of sovereign state permitted the homeless
people to wander forth into the wilder
ness there to perish from exposure or the
missiles of stealtny foe.
Early in February, 1916, the first camp
under the guidance of Brigham Young left
the state. With the mention of this name
the events of wonderful history are
recalled. Brigham Young has been
credited with having contributed greatly
to the strength and success Cf what is
called Mormonism. 1t is true that he was
admirably adapted to take up the work
where Joseph, through his martyrdom,
laid it down. He possessed wonderful
powers of organization and government,
and executive ability of superior charac-
ter-a statesman in the highest sense of the
word. But he always asserted that it was
Mormonism that made him. Whatever great
ness he possessed was due to the princi-
pies which Joseph Smith was the means in
the hands of God of revealing. 1t was the
fruit anG product of the gospel of Jesus

in their lives the principles which
are taught by the Latter-day Saints.
Possessing unbounded iuflnence, he used
his power most temperately, and his whole
aim was to promote the welfare of the PEG
pie The evidences of his superior wisdom
and genius are seen in every settlement
that has been made throughout these noun
tains Salt Lake city, through his pre-
science, was laid out as a metropolis. He
never had any doubts as to its future or
the commanding position of the territory
which had been settled and he made pre-
parations in consonance with his expecta-
tions. Some of his contemporaries viewed
him as, in many respects, the greatest liv
ing American. Only those who are ignor
ant of his true character will deny to him
the possession of the highest powers of
craftsmanship, government and philoso-
phic wisdom. History is dealing more
Justly with him since he died than during
his lifetime. The time is not far distant

Yet, inspired of GOD, he had revea ed a
sublime system of theology, and had given
to the world the most magnificent organi-
cation that had been witnessed since the
days of the Redeemer. Truths which had
been hidden by false traditions
and men-made theories of salvation,
were brought to light by him with
astonishing plainness and simplicity. Men

Lord was one which foreshadowed his
probable martyrdom. But with unfiin h

triumph of the system which he was the
instrument in the hands of God of found
ing. He has been credited with having
given to the world a new religion. In one
sense, this is true. 1t was a new religion
to our age. But it was the old religion re
stored in primitive purity and power-the
old religion which has been taught by the
Son of God Himself. A more fitting in
strument to accomplish this wonderful
work cannot be imagined. The youthful
prophet possessed every quality necessary
for the accomplishment of the labor as
signed him. His character stands out in
bold relief as beautiful example of all
that is great and heroic in man, for Latter
day Saints to admire and initiate.

lions TO guard the prisoners or to preserve

men who had confided their lives 10 his

of the attack which was TO be made upon

they soon bowed to its mandates
After the death of Joseph Smith, work
was resumed upon the temple. the compile
ton of which was awaited by the people
with the greatest anxiety At the time,
the walls were scarcely up to the first
story; but the prophet left as legacy a
solemn charge that the work should be
continued, and every effort was concen-
trated to accomplish this end. The activ-
ity of the mob kept pace with the zeal of
the Saints. Assaults were made upon the
outlying settlements, grain fields were de-
stroyed and trampled down. stock were
driven off and killed, and the people We're
compelled to flee into the city. More than
once Nauvoo itself was threatened: aud it
is a literal fact that the wolkmen on
the walls of the temple carried tools

70 adequate description has ever been
given of the sufferings and privations en-
dured by the Mormons willie iourneying
over the bleak prairies of Iowa to escape
the cruel vengeance of men who prided
themselves on being Christians Yet, with
all their sufferings they enjoyed sense of
freedom that was indescribably delightful.
They were no longer within the reach of
cruel and bloodthirsty men who were con-
tinually plotting and devising schemes to
harass, Cypress and rob them. The
Indians, into whose country they were
venturing, were more merciful than the
men of their own race who had helped
drive them out. The wilderness itself,
with its unknown terrors, was pleasant
refuge to contemplate, associated as it was
in their minds with sense of deliverance
from the annoyances and attacks from
which they had suffered.
In giving this hasty sketch we have
reached the point where the Mormons
were compelled to leave the United States.
They had appealed to governors of states
for a place of refuge; but their appeals
had been UNDECIDED. Only one response
was received, and that of no encouraging
character. Many of those who were mem
bers of the camps had been compelled to
abandon their homes as many as four and
five times. We look in vain for justifca-
ton with even the shadow of law, for this
series of crimes against humanity and
against lawl The people were objection
able-that was all. That was the head and
front of their offending. 1t is true they
had been accused of many things. Their
names had been cast out as evil. But they
dwelt in country of law, where they
were in the minority, and where, if guilty,
they could have been tried and punished
for any wrongs they might have committed.
They were loyal, Industrious and law
abiding. They had no practices save those
which bore the fruits of prosperity and
which were wholesome and benefcent.
They were not traitors, and, after the as
sassinations at Carthage, were not even
accused of treason. They were not charged
with immortality or murder. They paid
their debts and respected the rights of
others. They were Americans by instinct
and Christians in practice. Every OBJ
server who visited them at the time tes-
titled to their orderly conduct, their

will be considered the most remarkable
men of their age.
The winter of 1886 was severe one.
The Mississippi was frozen in February,
and large number of the teams of the first
camp crossed on the ice into the then terri
tory of Iowa. In the meantime active pre-
parations were going on in Nauvoe for the
emigration of all who were able to furnish
themselves with the necessary outfit. The
companies pushed out from there during
the early spring, leaving behind them only
those who were destitute of teams and
wagons to transport them. When the exc
dus was inevitable a covenant had been
made by the entire people that they would
help each ofher, and that those who had
means of transportation would send back
to help those who were destitute. While
waiting for this help the city of Nauvoo
was beleaguered by mobs, too impatient to
wait for the people to be removed. In for
mldable numbers they attacked the city.
Fighting ensued. A number were killed
and the rest were driven across the river
not, however, before their wagons had been
searched for everything worth plundering,
especially weapons OF ueIense. IL was at
that iuncture that Esquire Daniel H.
Wells openly cast his fortune with
the afflicted people. He was one of
the old settlers, and had watched the
founding and growth of Nauvoo, had
listened to the teachings Of the prophet and
the other leading elders, and had become
convinced of the divinity of the work. He
assisted in defending the town against the
mobs and fully identified himself with the
outcast people in this hour of deep Attic
ton.
