Mormon founder | ==Joseph Smith== | ||
Mormon founder Joseph Smith to his son Joseph Smith. Jr. Before his death: | |||
:'''Joseph, my son, thou art called to a high and holy calling. Thou art even called to do the work of the Lord. Hold out faithful, and you shall be blessed and your children after you. You shall live to finish your work.' At this Joseph cried out, weeping, ‘Oh my father, will I?’ ‘Yes,’ said his father, ‘you shall live to lay out the plan of all the work which God has given you to do. This is my dying blessing on your head in the name of Jesus.’ ” | |||
