Elvira broke forth thus-- "It is Joe Smith who is conducting this march.

We say that he is lying in gaol," she laughed.

"In gaol is he?
Have they got him safe?
But it was he who taught all these men to work together, one under the other, and none of them kicking; and it was he who taught these women and children to do as they are bid--a wonderful thing that in the land of the free.

It was he who taught one and all of us to be kind to each other, to the poor and the sick and the young, to the very beasts.

Do you remember that when they caught our prophet at Hiram and dragged him out to be beaten and insulted, they had first to take from his arms a sick motherless baby that he was sitting up all night to nurse?
Do you remember how he gave commandment about the animals?
how he said that any man striking a beast in anger was thrown so far back on his road to heaven ?" She paused when she had thrown out this question, and the men and women within hearing answered in broken chorus, "Yes, blessed be the Lord; we do remember." "And who was it that taught us to give up the filthy Gentile habits of strong drink and tobacco ?" (Again in the pause the chorus of thanksgiving to Heaven was heard.) "It was Joe Smith," Elvira cried more loudly.
