He is our Redeemer, and we worship him, and we praise God for every individual upon the face of the earth who worships our Lord and Master as the Redeemer of the world" (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Heber J. Grant, p. 223). Click Here! | |

1839 - The trial in Gallatin, Missouri, continued with additional witnesses including Brother Markham. When Brother Markham finished testifying on behalf of the Prophet Joseph and the Mormons, one of the guard, Mr. Blakely, asked to speak to Brother Markham outside. When they were outside, Mr. Blakely yelled at Brother Markham and threatened to kill him. He attacked, but Brother Markham was able to take the club from him and throw it away. Ten members of the mob then rushed towards Brother Markham, Colonel Peniston, the captain of the guard being one of them, but Brother Markham told them he could kill the whole lot of them at one blow apiece and drove them off. The grand jury heard the whole incident, but ignored it. The “grand jury brought in a bill for ‘murder, treason, burglary, arson, larceny, theft, and stealing,’” against the prisoners, including the Prophet Joseph Smith.
