In presenting these sketches of the LIVES OF OUR LEADERS, two definite objects have been in view. One is that the youth of Israel, for whom they were especially prepared, might become better acquainted with the lives of our leading brethren; and that they might, by knowing more fully of their integrity and of their untiring, unselfish labors for the cause of truth, be the more able to appreciate their true worth. Another reason for the publication of these sketches is to place before the young suitable models after which they can safely pattern in shaping their own lives. The reading of the history of great men’s lives has a powerful influence over those whose characters are just being molded, and we know of no biographies, aside from those given in the Holy Scriptures, that are in every respect so suitable as models for the children of Zion as are the LIVES OF OUR LEADERS. The character sketches contained in this volume first appeared in the Juvenile Instructor. At the time their publication was contemplated and arranged for Apostle Franklin D. Richards was the president of the quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and as his death occurred after all preparations had been completed for the production of the sketches, although before any of them had appeared, it was deemed proper that a biographical account of his life should be included in the series. While the biographies were being published the vacancy in the quorum of the Twelve was filled, and this made it necessary to add another life sketch to the number first proposed.
