President Lund then discoursed upon
the divine mission of Joseph Smith, the
Prophet, calling attention to his first

Joseph was not made rich but he had

ing up the kingdom Of God upon the
earth The Saints cheerfully built
houses to His name and this has been
characteristic Of the people Of God ever
since. When we read the history of
the Saints we admire the spirit exhibit

have seen here today and TO know
that the Saints are seeking first the
kingdom OF God and His righteousness.
