the redemption of the world And his Apostles followed his Example for the word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ. And Joseph Smith has proved to the Heaven & Earth To God Angels and Men that He would abide in his Covenant Even unto Death And none of us will ever be called to do any thing more. Any of us would certainly be ashamed to deny the faith to accomodate our Enemies then meet the Prophets and Apostles in the spirit world. May God forbid that this should be the case with any of the Blood of Ephraim
