Doctrine and Covenants
1 To seal the testimony of
this book and the Book of Mormon, we announce the martyrdom of Joseph Smith the
Prophet, and Hyrum Smith the Patriarch. They were shot in Carthage jail, on the
27th of June, 1844, about five o’clock p.m., by an armed mob—painted black—of
from 150 to 200 persons. Hyrum was shot first and fell calmly, exclaiming: I am
a dead man! Joseph leaped from the window, and was shot dead in the attempt,
exclaiming: O Lord my God! They were both shot after they were dead, in a
brutal manner, and both received four balls.
3 In the short space of
twenty years, he has brought forth the Book of Mormon, which he translated by
the gift and power of God, and has been the means of publishing it on two
continents; has sent the fulness of the everlasting gospel, which it contained,
to the four quarters of the earth; has brought forth the revelations and
commandments which compose this book of Doctrine and Covenants, and many other
wise documents and instructions for the benefit of the children of men;
gathered many thousands of the Latter-day Saints, founded a great city, and
left a fame and name that cannot be slain. He lived great, and he died great in
the eyes of God and his people; and like most of the Lord’s anointed in ancient
times, has sealed his mission and his works with his own blood; and so has his
brother Hyrum. In life they were not divided, and in death they were not
separated!
