Baptism for the dead united the human family. Joseph himself underscored its value in turning the hearts of the children to their fathers. Something had to bond all the generations from the first to the last going back through time as the prophet Malachi had written or the Earth would be wasted. Locating names and baptizing vicariously created the welding link. Nothing in his later life excited Joseph more than the idea of joining together the generations of humanity from start to finish.
