Frederick M. Smith By Associated Press. Independence. Mo., Dee. 11.—Jo seph Sn:.th. president of the reorganiz ed church of Latter Day Saints, died at his home here yesterday. At his bed side was his son. Frenterick M. Smith,, who will succeed him as president of the church and other members of his family who had been called from va- j rious parts of the United States. Prerident._ Smith "as S2 yean old' and had been in ill heaith for several months. Recently he IH anie blind and was forced to abandon many ot j his diuaes ns editor oe the '• Saints Herald, the official publication of the church. Two weeks ago he was stricken with heart disease and he hj«l beta in a critical condition since. Th-ree days ago the aged patriarch expressed a wish to die. ••Don't try to keep me,'' he said, to those at his bedsiiie. "If it is the Divine will that I should go, I have no right to attempt to stay. " A stenographer was in constant at tendance ou the dying man, who gave •firevtions for carrying on the work of the church. His family ami the officers of the church also wanted his last re marks preserved for posterity. His six sons were at his beds*!?' a-most constantly until his death an t he • uve special instructions to the son who is to succeed him. A historv of Joseph Smith, who was a son of Josieph Smith, prophet, and founder of Mormorisni. is a historv of the Reorganized Church of the Latter Day ■ < >aiints. It was he who brought together the little bands of Mormons in Illinois. lowa and Missouri, left be hind when the main bodv emigrated to Utah. He became the first president of the reorganized church, and heki that office more then hail a century, until his death. He was a cousin of Joseph Fielding Smith, in recent years presi dent of the Latter Day Saints in Utah. The greater part of President Jo seph Smith's life was a struggle, as had been the life of his father, to pla-e Mormonism upon a sound footing. Dur ing tbe last years erf his life he was blind. He was born November 6, 1832. at Kirtiund. 0., where his father had gone two years earlier with a few follow ers. from Manchester, N". Y. Soon aft erwards the colony moved to Mi«ssouri. There at Independence, the prophet, as he was known, established the "New Jerusalem" of the church, obeying, he said, a revelation. Enmity of other settlers, however, resulted in the Mormons beii»* driven out. Prophet Joseph Smith was arrested and placed in jail at Liberty, Mo. In the jail, whore the younger Jo seph, them five years old. spent the first night with his father, the prophet bent over the child as be sobbed him self to sleep, and to him commended the hopes and aspirations of the c-burch. " M v mother accompanied mv fath er to Überty," Joseph Smith told, in later years, "but fermug for her life, my father iixhwed ber to go with mem ber* of the ehureh to Illinois. "I tramped across the almost unin habited prairies of Missouri to Xauvoo, j II!., where my father, when he was re-' leased, joined us. Then, in IS4I. when' I I was twelve years old, one day his ! dead body was brought to us. He had been shot by a mob in Oartkige. 111. * * After the death of the prophet most of the members of the church emigrat ed to I'tah under the leadership ot Briyham Young. Young Joseph Smith,! remaining bahind, worked us farmer • and r.s a clerk an I studied law. This he gave up to effect the reorganization of the church, which was formailv «<■- j complished at Amboy, 111., in iSGO. N Twenty years kuer beadquarters of the church was e*»taCVishe*l in Lamotti. lowa, and in 1906 a removal was mcde to Independence, Mo., where Prcsi lent Smith male his home and where he re sided uutil his death. , President Smith lived simply, or cupyinrj a modes* eottjge. one room ot which constituted his office. He Bros-.' j early and until his health began to fail a few years ajo and blindness overtook him, he devote I his dcys to editorial werk for the "Saints' Herald," the official publication of the church, and srovermentr.i affairs cf the organiza tion. as well as responding to many picas for advice from communicants.

Some of the older citizens may for get that tliis good gentleman was once a friend of theirs, and that ho is still just as popular with the boys and girls of to-day. But siuch is the fact, and judging from the shopping crowds the spirit of Christmas has taken a Ann hold on this community. After the last present has been se lected there is always some one who has been overlooked. Such an emerg ency may be taken care otf by taking advantage of the Star-Independent's Bible offer. The $5 volume is just about the nicest book for presentation purposes ever thought of, and all that, is required to get it is t>no certificate and a small expense bonus amount to defray the expense items otf distribu tion. What bettor could you a-sk ? A Bible is at once appropriate and useful, but this particular Bible is illustrated, stamped in sx>ld, and is actually -worth $5, but you can fret it only through the popular coupon plan of "the Star- Independent. To-day's certificate is printed on another page of this issue. Clip it, present it, and you'll learn how to re lieve your mind of the worries of Christmas giving.
