“By Small and Simple Things Are Great Things Brought to Pass” (Alma 37:6), by David Koch

Young Lucy Mack Smith reads the Bible to her sons Joseph and Hyrum in the log home near the Sacred Grove, in Palmyra Township, New York. From this humble beginning, Joseph grew to become prophet of the last dispensation, through whom the fulness of the gospel was restored to the earth. On June 27, 1844, these two boys—then grown men—died as martyrs and witnesses to the truthfulness of the Restoration.
