[Joseph Smith Sermon] Hyrum to be Prophet
Sunday Afternoon
Meaning of D&C 130:20 (9)
-- Jul 16, 1843
[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 16th Sunday We met at a privat house in the city with the Saints & I spoke to the people & was followed By Elder B Young. This is the first time that I ever attempted to preach in Cincinnati. At the close of the meeting Elder Young & myself went on to the ferry Boat & crossed the River & took dinner with Br Derby.
We then took each of us a horse that had been brought to us & rode 8 miles back into Kentucky over the hills streams rocks & valleys to Mr Colbertsons who had professed to be a saint & an Elder in the Church but had lost his faith if he ever had any as had also Br Youtsey in the Same neighbourhood. They had got their eye fixed more upon Strayburys & rasp-burrys (as they were cultivating 10 or 15 acres of them for market) than they had upon the mark or the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus. We found they had neither of them any faith in the work. Theire was an appointment given out for us to preach at 4 oclock but we did not arive untill it was to late. We had a good supper of red raspburys. I took a severe cold during the day & evening & was about Sick. Distance 10 m. (1)
Joseph Smith creates confusion by declaring that he "would not prophesy any more, and proposed Hyrum to hold the office of prophet to the Church, as it was his birthright" as Presiding Patriarch. Stake president and former Nauvoo resident Abraham O. Smoot would tell the Provo School of the Prophets in 1868 that HyrumSmith "used to say [about] prophecy if you hit once in 10 times that is alright." In the same sermon Joseph Smith also "showed that a man must enter into an everlasting covenant with his wife in this world or he will have no claim on her in the next. He said that he could not reveal the fulness of these things untill the Temple is completed &c." The temple was not completed until after Joseph's death. (4)
Nauvoo, Illinois. Joseph Smith preached in a grove near the Nauvoo Temple concerning traitorous thoughts harbored by some in Nauvoo who professed to be Saints. (5)
