Brotherly Love

Joseph_Smith1_Mormon“I could pray in my heart that all my brethren were like unto my beloved brother Hyrum, who possesses the mildness of a lamb, and the integrity of a Job, and in short, the meekness and humility of Christ; and I love him with that love that is stronger than death, for I never had occasion to rebuke nor he me, which he declared when he left me today.”
– Joseph Smith (referring to his brother Hyrum)

 

 

“There’s no other love like the love for a brother. There’s no other love like the love from a brother.”
– Terri Guillemets*

Joseph_Smith1_Mormon“Brother Hyrum, what a faithful heart you have got! Oh may the Eternal Jehovah crown eternal blessings upon your head, as a reward for the care you have had for my soul! O how many are the sorrows we have shared together; and again we find ourselves shackled with the unrelenting hand of oppression. Hyrum, thy name shall be written in the book of the Law of the Lord, for those who come after thee to look upon, that they may pattern after thy works.”
– Joseph Smith (referring to his brother Hyrum)
