"I have more to boast of than ever any man had. I am the only
man that has ever been able to keep a whole church together since the
days of Adam. A large majority of the whole have stood by me. Neither
Paul, John, Peter, nor Jesus ever did it. I boast that no man ever did
such a work as I. The followers of Jesus ran away from Him; but the
Latter-day Saints never ran away from me yet..."
- Joseph Smith
History of the Church Vol. 6, pp. 408-409.

her Protestant daughter who have defiled the earth with their filthiness
and fornications."
