He started out this talk by reading 2 Corinthians 11…this was a warning to some of the apostles and other who were secretly living polygamy and accusing him (Joseph Smith) of teaching and living it. (History of the Church May 1844 pg. 408-412). This is what the Prophet Joseph said:
“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”
(New Testament | 2 Corinthians 11:13 – 15)
On May 26, 1844 Joseph Smith said, one month before he was murdered June 27, 1844: “What a thing for a man to be accused of committing adultery, and having seven wives, when I can only find one. I am the same man, and as innocent as I was fourteen years ago”
(History of the Church Vol.6, p.408-412 Sunday, May 26, 1844).

The prophet Joseph suffered a lot of opposition and sadness in his life but I believe he remained optimistic and happy because he know in whom he trusted the most… his Father in Heaven and Christ.
