The greatest event that has ever occurred in the world since the resurrection of the Son of God from the tomb and His ascension on high, was the coming of the Father and of the Son to that boy Joseph Smith, to prepare the way for the laying of the foundation of His kingdom, not the kingdom of man, never more to cease nor be overturned. Having accepted this truth, I find it easy to accept of every other truth 'that he enunciated and declared during his mission of fourteen years in the world. He never taught a doctrine that was not true! He never practiced a doctrine that he was not commanded to practice! He never advocated error.
He was not deceived. He saw; he heard; he did as he was commanded to do; and therefore, God is responsible, for the work accomplished by Joseph Smith, and not Joseph Smith! The Lord is responsible for it, and not man. . --President Joseph F.. Smith
