Church in Danger "In a sermon in the Brick Church, Brother Joseph Smith III once said the church had gone to destruction because of polygamy, and was in imminent danger again, but not because of polygamy. Next time it would be pride. That prediction was freely discussed, and many thought
it a joke. A dressmaker who had recently come from Chicago, a center of fashion, remarked
that she had never before been in a place where there was so little false pride. The
pendulum swung in that direction but has now swung the other way, and no one questions the
verity of Brother Joseph's predictions, in generous fulfillment."
