Ch.25 p.221-225 The Memoirs of President Joseph Smith lll UTAH

The subheadings are: Hesitancy, Among Friends, Cousin Samuel, Incidentals, and Thomas A. Lyne. This episode is based in Utah and Joseph Smith lll's interactions and discoveries. It is in this episode that Joseph Smith lll shares vehement words of Brigham Young who slandered both Joseph Smith lll and his mother Emma. This episode is very much focused on poligamy, the ills of it, deaths by suicide, and the testimonies of several men stating that Joseph Smith Jun and Hyrum Smith spoke out against poligamy. Members of the Utah church were being arrested for poligamy and also in hiding, as poligamy was against the law of the United States and Joseph Smith lll shared doctrine stating that God had placed good men as leaders of the United States and that the laws were to be obeyed. It is a very interesting episode.
