A. www.LatterDayTruth.org The Work and Calling of Evangelists The Work of the Evangelical Order The Order of Evangelists as it exists in our church today is unique. I know of no other church organization which has such well recognized and organized group of men devot­ ing their time to a highly specialized line of spiritual en­ deavor. To function fully as a member of this order re­ quires not only years of training and unreserved consecra­ tion to the work of the church, but necessitates an exem­ plary life that will enable one to draw close to the divine source of inspiration. To have the task of reviving the Saints, cheering the downcast, encouraging the disheartened, directing the zeal­ ous, curbing the overly enthusiastic, and lending wisdom to those whose zeal exceeds their judgment, requires a finesse of ministration that nothing but contact with the divine will enable us to produce. The men of the order as it exists today are a consecrated, devoted group of men, anxious to discharge every function that pertains. to their office, and to this task they have brought their best devotion and application in the way of study. We have asked Brother Elbert, the Presiding Patriarch, to present in this number of the Journal an analysis of the work of the order which will be helpful not alone to the members of the order themselves but to all members of the priesthood who are interested in this line of minis­ terial work-and all members of the priesthood should be interested in it, because the work of the order supplements the activities of all other arms of the ministry of the church. The mandates of the Master that this group of men shall keep themselves free from embroilment in local difficulties is wise, and these men are to be congratulated that they are thus under divine restraint to keep themselves free from the entanglements of controversy. I find myself strongly wishing and hoping that there shall come as a part of the endowment of the ministry a disposition on the part of all members of the priesthood to avoid the bitterness of controversy and the deleterious effects of quarrels. No group of men on earth should be freer from such quarrels and bickerings than the priesthood of this church, and it can be brought about only by a constant refinement 2 www.LatterDayTruth.org of fraternity that exists among us. The time is here when contention among the men of the priesthood must cease. Our priesthood gatherings and priesthood meetings should be occasions of the happiest, unmarred by bitterness of any kind or wrangling that will leave a bad taste in one's mouth. The real fraternity which should be in our midst should promote a disposition on the part of every member of the priesthood to love, cherish, and protect every other member of the priesthood, to protect his character and reputation against reproach and ugly rumor, and above all, to be free from in any way starting or promoting rumor that might be harmful or deleterious to the reputation or character of a fellow minister. May the spirit of unity and peace be among the members of the priesthood and may the Order of Evangelists, whose chief duty it is to promote this fraternity and peace, be richly endowed from on high to carry on their work to a high level. FREDERICK M. SMITH. Calling and Duties of Evangelists and Patriarchs From the Scriptures "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, eviangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ."-Ephesians 4: 11-13. "Do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry."-2 Timothy 4: 5. "It is the duty of the twelve, in all large branches of the church, to ordain evangelical ministers, as they shall be designated unto them by reveiation."-Doctrine and Cove­ nants 104: 17. "It is the will of God that they [the twelve] do this; yea, verily, thus saith the Spirit, If they will now enter upon this work, leaving the burden of care in organized districts, or 3 www.LatterDayTruth.org conferences to the standing ministry, under the presidency of the church; observing the law already given to ordain and set high priests or elders to preside in large branches and in districts, and also evangelioal ministers, then will those officers set in the church be useful and he who gave the law be honored; the differences between the quorums be healed, confidence be restored and good will and peace come to the people as a. cherishing fountain."-Doctrine and Cove­ nants 122: 8. "The patriarch is an evangelical minister. The duties of this office are to be an evangelical minister; to preach, teach, expound, exhort, to be a revivalist, and to visit branches and districts as wisdom may direct, invitation, request, or the Spirit of God determine and require; to comfort the saints; to be a father to the church; to give counsel and advice to individuals who may seek for such; to lay on hands for the conferment of spiritual blessing, and if so led, to point out the lineage of the one who is blessed. "He is to be free from responsibility-ministerial-as a traveling minister, and from the care of the local branch or church and district affairs. When traveling and preach­ ing, holding revival meetings, he is to labor in connection with the branch and district officers, not subject to the ministerial control of the missionary in charge, except he should transcend his, bounds and teach false doctrine or be found in transgression. He is not to meddle with branch affairs or district affairs. He is not to listen to complaints made by individuals to him, but if persons insist upon pre­ senting their troubles, he is. to request them and require them to make them in writing, signing the name, giving time, place, and character of the trouble, with the witnesses, which it will be his duty to present to the branch or district officers, as the case may require. He is not to be put in charge of either branch or district. These are the privileges which attach to the office of patriarch and evangelical min­ ister. "The presiding patriarch is to be considered the first, and when patriarchs meet in council, is to preside. Besides these duties, the patriarch may meet with quorums in their quorum meetings, where he may be asked for counsel, but will not have either voice or vote, except by courtesy, hav­ ing no direct control of quorums. "Other evangelical ministers beside the presiding patri­ arch have s.imilar duties in the districts where they are ap­ pointed. Revelations have been given, as my people know, i www.LatterDayTruth.org that these men should receive ordination, but hitherto those upon whom this burden has lain have neglected, for the reason that they did not understand the duties and preroga­ tives that attach to the office. Let my servants take heed and hesitate no longer."-Doctrine arnd oovenants 125: 3-6. "And again, verily I say unto you, Let my servant Wil­ liam be appointed, ordained, and anointed, as counselor unto my servant Joseph, in the room of my servant Hyrum; that my servant Hyrum may take the office of priesthood and patriarch, which was appointed unto him by his father, by blessing and also by right, that from henceforth he shall hold the keys of the patriarchal blessings upon the heads of all my people, that whoever he blesses shall be blessed, and whoever. he curseth shall be cursed; that whatsoever he shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatso­ ever he shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven; and from this time forth, I appoint unto him that he may be a prophet, and a seer, and a revelator unto my church, as well as my servant Joseph, that he may act in concert also with my servant Joseph, and that he shall receive counsel from my servant Jos.eph, who shall show unto him the keys whereby he may ask and receive, and be crowned with the same blessing, and glory, and honor, and priesthood, and gifts of the priesthood, that once were put upon him that was my servant Oliver.

  • Joseph Smith Ill's 1844 Blessing Ana the Mormons of Utah
    Q). MicAael' J2umw Joseph Smith Ill's 1844 Blessing Ana The Mormons of Utah JVlembers of the Mormon Church headquartered in Salt Lake City may have reacted anywhere along the spectrum from sublime indifference to temporary discomfiture to cold terror at the recently discovered blessing by Joseph Smith, Jr., to young Joseph on 17 January 1844, to "be my successor to the Presidency of the High Priesthood: a Seer, and a Revelator, and a Prophet, unto the Church; which appointment belongeth to him by blessing, and also by right."1 The Mormon Church follows a line of succession from Joseph Smith, Jr., completely different from that provided in this document. To understand the significance of the 1844 document in relation to the LDS Church and Mormon claims of presidential succession from Joseph Smith, Jr., one must recognize the authenticity and provenance of the document itself, the statements and actions by Joseph Smith about succession before 1844, the succession de- velopments at Nauvoo after January 1844, and the nature of apostolic succes- sion begun by Brigham Young and continued in the LDS Church today. All internal evidences concerning the manuscript blessing of Joseph Smith III, dated 17 January 1844, give conclusive support to its authenticity. Anyone at all familiar with the thousands of official manuscript documents of early Mormonism will immediately recognize that the document is written on paper contemporary with the 1840s, that the text of the blessing is in the extraordinar- ily distinctive handwriting of Joseph Smith's personal clerk, Thomas Bullock, that the words on the back of the document ("Joseph Smith 3 blessing") bear striking similarity to the handwriting of Joseph Smith, Jr., and that the docu- ment was folded and labeled in precisely the manner all one-page documents were filed by the church historian's office in the 1844 period.

GRIFFITHS “Wherefore, now let every man learn his duty, and to act in the office in which he is appointed, in all diligence. He that is slothful shall not be counted worthy to stand, and he that learns not his duty and shows himself not approved, shall not be counted worthy to stand.” Doc. & Cov. Sec. 104:44 4 CONTENTS ________ CHAPTER I. There are two grand heads or orders of the priesthood, namely, the Melchisedec and Aaronic. Appellations by which Melchisedec priesthood is distinguished from the Aaronic priesthood: Until the days of Melchisedec it was known as “Holy Priesthood,” but was changed. It is known as High Priesthood—as the Greater and the Greatest Priesthood—The Priesthood after the holiest order of God. Historical facts concerning Melchisedec. Page 11. CHAPTER II. The origin of the Melchisedec Priesthood: Is a lineal priesthood. This priesthood was taken away with Moses. High Priesthood was restored in and through Christ. Christ conferred it upon apostles and seventy and they upon others. Priesthood was again removed from earth, because of the apostasy. The Priesthood the head of the kingdom.

  • Burials Sorted by Location the Tool Shed Divides Rose Hill Between West (Old Cemetery) and East Halves
    Lamoni Rose Hill Cemetery - Burials Sorted by Location The tool shed divides Rose Hill between west (Old Cemetery) and east halves. The old cemetery had 6 sections but has 9 now after 3 were split into N and S parts. The east side has 11 sections, called Blocks, but only B3, B7, B8, B9, and B10 are for burials. Each lot has an X,Y coordinate relative to the section it is in. The X value cooresponds with a row of headstones from W to E. The Y value counts which lot from N to S in a given row. The Y coordinate is only useful as a guide since lots vary in size and in number of grave spaces, and Y counts lots, not spaces. Multiple burial spaces per lot are numbered from S to N starting with 1. This report lists all burials, grouped section by section, and orders the burials as one would encounter them by walking N to S starting with the first row (X=1) to the last. A gap with a section title is displayed to separate one Section from the next.

  • Discovery of a Rare Daguerreotype of Frederick Granger Williams Smith, Second Surviving Son of Joseph and Emma Hale Smith
    Robert D. Talbot: Daguerreotype of Frederick G. W. Smith 91 Discovery of a Rare Daguerreotype of Frederick Granger Williams Smith, Second Surviving Son of Joseph and Emma Hale Smith Robert D. Talbot In June 1994, following the death of my grandmother, Lola Hazel Johnson Howard, my mother, Janice Howard Talbot, received as part of her inheritance, a small, peculiar-looking case containing a beautifully pre- served image of a young man seated in a chair next to a table. Part of the pic- ture had been tinted or “colorized.” My mother knew the case and the image was a treasured family heirloom. Not knowing who the young man in the image was, but thinking that it might possibly be her great-great-great grand- father, Hyrum Smith, she decided to send it to the LDS Church Archives in Salt Lake City to see if someone in the department could make a positive identification. She sent it to William (Bill) W. Slaughter, an expert in early Mormon photographs. Sometime later, Bill sent a letter back indicating that the image in the small case was not Hyrum. However, he thought the per- son might possibly be one of Hyrum or Joseph’s sons, or perhaps some other Smith family member. After receiving the somewhat disappointing news that the person in the image was not that of Hyrum, she placed it in her dresser drawer among her personal things. In October 2000, my parents moved from Missouri to Arizona to be near our family. A few days after moving them into their new home, I asked my mother what happened to the old photograph that grandmother had left her and that she had xeroxed for me several years earlier.

This volume is not intended to be a comprehensive review of his life nor of the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints which he founded. Instead, it gives glimps- es into many well-known and some not-so-familiar events that took place before and during Joseph Smith’s lifetime. It includes a brief look into the lives of Joseph’s grandfather Asael; his parents, Joseph Senior and Lucy Mack; and his wife, Emma.

  • Index for Journals, Volumes 1–3
    Index for Journals, Volumes 1–3 In addition to the journals themselves, introductory essays, annotation, and most refer- ence materials have been indexed. Most maps are not indexed; map coordinates for specific locations are given in the Geographical Directory. Spelling, punctuation, and capitalization of quotations have been standardized. Personal names are listed by their correct spellings, not by variant spellings that may be found in the journals, unless correct spelling is unknown. Entries for women are generally listed under their final married names, with appropriate cross-references under maiden names or earlier married names. Unidentified individuals, such as “Mr. Brown,” are included in the index. In subentry text, Joseph Smith (JS) and Emma Smith (ES) are referred to by their initials. Because JS is the implied subject of the index, the entry for his name does not report all JS-related events in the volumes. Rather, it records important events and highlights. When found in an entry, “id.” generally indicates an entry in the Biographical Directory or Geographical Directory, “def.” usually refers to a definition in the Glossary, and “hand- writing of” identifies ranges of pages on which an individual inscribed text in the journals. Other documents recorded in the journals, such as letters or revelations, are identified under the Journal entry. A of, 1:231, 1:271, 1:274, 1:275, 1:284n184; JS travels Aaronic priesthood.

  • Emma's Enduring Compassion
    Joni Wilson: Emma’s Enduring Compassion 65 Emma’s Enduring Compassion: A Personal Reflection Joni Wilson Emma Hale Smith’s life experience changed considerably following the murder of her husband, Joseph Smith Jr., in the summer of 1844. She found her- self in Nauvoo, Illinois, in a tense political, religious climate with limited finan- cial resources, few family members, responsibility for four children, and pregnant with her tenth. After a seventeen-year marriage, this forty-something woman had already buried seven children.1 I am not a historian; I am not a sociologist; I am not a theologian; and I have no advanced education in any of these areas. But I am extremely interest- ed in the “other” side of Emma Hale Smith Bidamon—the incredible human story of one woman’s life through joy and sorrow, triumph and disillusionment, and births and deaths. Have you ever heard a story and have it so well memorized that you could relate almost all the details without any prompting and later found additional particulars that turned your whole perception of that story to a slightly different angle? This narrative is my journey in discovering compassion and caring in a world of the past not so different or bizarre from the present. Emma Smith endured persecution and hardships while relocating to a vari- ety of houses and separating from friends as she moved throughout her life from Pennsylvania; through New York, Ohio, and Missouri; and finally to Illinois. JONI WILSON is an education and editorial specialist at RLDS World Church headquar- ters in Independence, Missouri.
