II should be added that we. In this
age are not dependent entirely upon the
records OF two thousand years ago for
testimony 10 the fact that Jesus lives.
Early in the spring OF the year 1870
Joseph Smith the highly favored
Prophet OF God, had the exceed
ingly glorious vision OF the
Father and the Son. which
formed the beginning OF the great and
marvellous work Of the latter days. on
another occasion the Prophet also had
a glorious vision OF which he writes;

Of Christs resurrection, II is found In
Doctrine and Covenants, Section 10,
from which we take these few verses:
"And now, after the many testimo-

this is the testimony last of all, which
We give Of Him, that He lives;
For We saw Him, even on the right
hand Of God and we heard the voice

gotten Of the Father
THAT by Him and through Him, and
OF Him the worlds are and were ere
ated, and the Inhabitants thereof are
begotten sons and daughters unto
God. VERSES 22-2i.
The more closely we examine all
the testimony as to the facts of the res

that the evidence cannot be set aside

desperate denial Jesus lives. And His
