K When Joseph Smith. as Mormons be-
lisve, had his vision on the hill of Gu
ncrah he proceeded at once to the trans
= lation of the sacred plates brought him
~ the angel, by the aid of the Urim and
! 1hummim. Upon the completion Of this
4 1ask the Church OF Jesus Christ OF the
Latter Day Saints was organized. The
church was governed in the old Script
s 4fl manner, by apostles, prophets, eld-
~ and teachers These elders and
apostles scattered over the country,
4 Eeeaching the new doctrines and convert
ng many to their belief, 30 that when
& he Mormons were prosecuted at Nauvoo,
No., the church numbered nearly IL not
luite 200, 900 members
~ When Joseph and Hyrum Smith were
4 cpnfned in the Nauvoo Jail in 1914 the
<guphet sent for his son, then only 10
@yoars old, and blessed him, ordaining
1m president Of the church as soon as
- should arrive at his majority. Shortly
4 Sefterward the jail was broken into by
lob and the prophet and his brother
yere killed. 1t was then that Brigham
NHX<mnO fOrVUord nd
{ eector OF young Joseph Smith, ruled the
\ ohurch Ms Its acting president. He put
1Cwn the claims Of Rigdon, Strang and
= shop to the prophetic successorship
With . strong hand, and when the time
me for young Joseph Smith to assert
1mself Brigham Young was strong
nough to usurp the young prophets
ncc. With this usurpation he intro
ed the doctrine Of polygamy, or the
lritul WIFE, Then came the great
1rA TO the Salt Lake valley. But it
- not be supposed that n majority or
> fair proportion of the followers Of
prophet had embraced this doctrine
ueetistics show that in 1850 Utah
population Of about II $50. There
- hundreds and thousands who would
IL accept the rule Of Young and the
octxine Of polygamy. These scattered
nav homes, and new divisions Of the
1enrch were made. One by one these
>lvtsi0ns failed In 1851 a few Of those
