King Follett Discourse
The
King Follett Discourse is an address delivered by Joseph Smith, Jr in
April 7,
1844 two months before Smith's death. The discourse was presented to a conference of about twenty thousand
Latter-day Saints at the
funeral service of Elder King Follett. Willard Richards,
Wilford Woodruff, Thomas Bullock and William Clayton took notes of the address which was then published in the paper
Times and Seasons of
August 15,
1844. This discourse is considered by
Mormons to be one of the most important given by Smith on the nature of
God and
Exaltation.
