The Name of Joseph Smith Will Continue to Ring with Honor

"A few years ago, I received a letter written by an evangelist who
with diatribe lashed out against the Prophet Joseph Smith, calling him a
wicked imposter, a fraud, a fake, and a deceiver, and declaring that he was
undertaking a campaign to spread his views. Whatever became of his work, I
do not know. It will not have been significant. That kind of work may
topple a few of the weak, but it only strengthens the strong. And long
after that man and others of his kind have gone down to silence, the name
of Joseph Smith will continue to ring with honor and love in the hearts of
an ever-growing band of Latter-day Saints in an
ever-increasing number of nations."
