註釋Joseph Smith's call by an angel to translate the Book of Mormon came with a prediction: that worldwide fame would come to his name. That it has. To his closest associates-those who truly knew his faith and faults-he was heralded as the greatest of the prophets. In his relatively short ministry, he ignited the fire of faith and devotion to God that continues to this day. In his prime, he was the Prophet, the Mayor of the largest city in Illinois, and a candidate for the presidency of the United States. Yet he preferred to be known simply as "Brother Joseph." Converts came from thousands of miles to listen and learn from him. They believed he saw God and Jesus. Throughhim the very voice of God led their lives. Martyred while still seeking the goal of Zion-a people of one heart, mind, righteousness, and requisite necessities-his people, as he was then planning, went to a place far away in the West to make the desert blossom as the rose. Zion, still an ideal, is yet looked for after the pattern of his life and teachings.
