With the exception of establishing the motive, our case is now complete. The natural inference, of course, is that the greed for gain furnished the dynamics of the scheme, but we must not leave even this fact without direct evidence. Mormons point to the violent death of Smith as a martyrdom, and assume this sufficient answer to the charge of selfishness. A man who, as was the case with Smith, dies with a six-shooter in his own hand, firing it at his assailants, [156] is in a novel pose for a martyr, and yet we may admit that Smith would not from selfish ends have chosen a career of imposture had he in the beginning been able to foresee his ignominious end. [Footnote 156: "Rise and Fall of Nauvoo," 443. Bancroft's "History of Utah," 170.] Soon after Rigdon's visit to Smith and the reception of the revelation making Kirtland the gathering place of the "Saints," Smith's family, together with their followers, moved to Ohio. Revelations now came thick and fast, and of such a character as to demonstrate that the love of gold, and not God, was the inducing cause of their existence. I quote a few pertinent samples: "Whoso receiveth you receiveth me, and the same will _feed_ you and _clothe_ you and _give you money-_and he who doeth not these things is not my disciple," [157] [Footnote 157: Doctrine and Covenants, 84, 89.] "It is wisdom in me that my servant Martin Harris should be an example unto the church _in laying his money before the bishop_ of the church. And also this is a law unto every man that cometh unto this land to receive an inheritance, and he shall do with this money according as the law directs." [158] [Footnote 158: Doctrine and Covenants, 58:35, 36.] "And let all _the monies which can be spared, it mattereth not_ unto me whether it be little or much, be sent up unto the land of Zion unto those I have appointed to receive it." [159] [Footnote 159: Doctrine and Covenants, 63:40.] "And let all those who have not families, who receive _monies,_ send it up unto the Bishop of Zion." [160] [Footnote 160: Doctrine and Covenants, 84:104.] "Behold, this is my will obtaining moneys even as I have directed." [161] [Footnote 161: Doctrine and Covenants, 66:45. Supplement 14 _Millennial Star,_ 80.] "Impart a portion of thy property; yea, even part of thy lands, and _all_ save the support of thy family." [162] [Footnote 162: Doctrine and Covenants, 10:34.] "Verily thus saith the Lord, I _require all their surplus_ property to be put into the hands of the bishop of my church of Zion." [163] [Footnote 163: Doctrine and Covenants, 119:1.] "And in temporal labor thou [Smith, the athlete,] shalt not give strength, for this is not thy calling." [164] [Footnote 164: Doctrine and Covenants, 24:9.] _"They shall support thee_ and I will bless them both spiritually and temporally." [165] [Footnote 165: Doctrine and Covenants, 24:3.]
