It is to be feared that in the course of a century some gifted man like Paul, some splendid orator who will be able to by his eloquence to attract crowds of thousands who are ready to hear and be carried away.

He may command a hearing and may command in succeeding breathing new life and make the name of the martyr Joseph ring is loud and stir the souls of men, as much as the mighty name of Christ himself and then he lists off these names Sharon Palmyra Manchester, Bertlin, far west Adam on diaman, Nauvoo and Carthage may become holy and venerable names, places of classic interest in another age like Jerusalem.

The garden of guests emity the Mount of Olives Calvary and he says this author feels degraded by that reflection you think.

He says he will be hitched on the memory of Joseph Smith meaning himself. I don't want to be hitched to the memory of Joseph Smith so I mean that governor Ford became a bit of a prophet there in say yeah.

I am the light which he shall hold up, that which he have seen me do.

Sister Susan Easton Black made in her book she's got a book called 400 questions and answers about the doctor and covenants and she said section 116 is the first mention of Adam on Diamond in Holy Rit however the name Adam on Diamond was familiar to Latter Day Saints before the revelation was received by Joseph Smith on May 19th 1838 for example the him Adam on Diamond by WW Feltz was sung at the Curtland Temple dedication in March of 1836 so I I didn't know that the him was written before this revelation so somehow that phrase Adam on Diamond was known before

Elder Holland wrote a book recently called The Witness for His names, all of the different names of Christ that he uses his own nicknames that he gives himself.

he received him will said he said he rigged and frequently used to go use to go upon the walls of the building both by day and night and frequently wedding the walls with his tears crying aloud to the almighty. To send means whereby we might accomplish the building.

Years ago Elder Oaks then wrote a book called His Holy Name. And he talks about the way name is used in Scripture.

So out of that very office here's your book Mormon, Dr. and Covenants and MSM now.

I remember reading a book by Henry Irings senior where he talked about his chemistry, you know, he's all he's a should have been a Nobel Prize winning chemist and he felt that that was part of the gospel. His chemistry worth was was discovering truth.

I want to mention this book Civil War Saints that Ken is the editor of and it lists every every known latter day saint who may have been involved in the Civil War or a little bio in the back

Now the book that John was talking about is, is this book no brother Joseph? This is how what's this project been like? Matt.

Yeah, so that book, so it was just published by Dosa at Book in March and myself, Matt Groau and Eric Smith were all general editors of the Joseph Smith Papers Project and have been for a number of years.

And so we decided that because the Joseph Smith Papers is a project that's really more geared towards scholars than it is towards general church members, we were thinking of ways of how, how can we get some of the findings, some of the discoveries that we've made about Joseph Smith to a larger general public?

And Matt, you didn't come on here to sell books and I didn't even tell you I was going to do this, but the book is no brother Joseph. And I'm telling anyone who is listening, if you truly want to know who Joseph is and unless you have certain conclusions you want about him, right? This is who he is. This book is who he is, who he was.

Well, thank you. I appreciate that and I hope people will get a good depiction of who Joseph was not just that he was a prophet, but that he was a real human being too, that he went through challenges and difficulties and trying to be a father and trying to be a husband and he's doing all this while he's trying to restore the church.

He's the author of, listen to this book Hank, Religion, Politics and Sugar. Subtitled the Mormon Church, the Federal Government and the Utah Idaho Sugar Company, 1907-1921.

Publish that Word of God, whether it be the Book of Commandments, the doctrine of the covenants, the Book of Mormon, children's literature. And the hymns, even the hymns, right?

To be able to temple in Jackson County, Missouri and to do that you've got a purchase land. Okay what else has been commanded to publish my word to bring forth the book more meant to bring forth the doctor and covenants this is 1832 and they're trying to get the book of commandments off the ground here in 1831 by 1832 it's sitting down there with the publishing group in Jackson County, Missouri.

The publishers remember the book of commandments are is on the press at the time that the mobs come in so the book of commandments is there.

I'll tell Richard there was when he taught the book of Revelations it was amazing and if you don't I have his book here and it's titled Opening the Seven Seals

there's a great book written by Henry Irings senior called the I think it's called the Reflections of a Scientist he said he and Joseph Building Smith got in a heated discussion about the age of the earth

You reminded me of a quote from I think I actually got this from you, Mike, from your book on William Tyndale. It was called Fire In The Bones.
