 Nor was the cross an easier to bear for our beloved Lamanites. Remember in the days of Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce Indian tribe, he was told by his father as a young man, Joseph, when I am gone, think of your country. You are the chief of these people. They look to you to guide them. Always remember that your father never sold his country. You must stop your ears whenever you are asked to sign a treaty selling your home.
