      Joseph Fielding Smith Jr. (July 19, 1876 – July 2, 1972) was an Americ a n religious leader and writer who served as the tenth president of Th e Ch urch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 1970 unt il hi s death in 1972. He was the son of former church president Joseph F . Smit h and the great-nephew of LDS Church founder Joseph Smith.

      Smith was named to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in 1910, when his f a ther was the church's president. When Smith became president of the LD S C hurch, he was 93 years old; he began his presidential term at an olde r ag e than any other president in church history. Smith's tenure as Pres iden t of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles from 1951 to 1970 is the thir d-lon gest in church history; he served in that capacity during the entir e pres idency of David O. McKay.

      Smith spent some of his years among the Twelve Apostles as the Church Hi s torian and Recorder. He was a religious scholar and a prolific writer . Ma ny of his works are used as references for church members. Doctrinal ly, S mith was known for rigid orthodoxy and as an arch-conservative in h is vie ws on evolution and race, although it has been said that age had s oftene d him and as a result he put up less resistance to reforms by th e time h e had become president.
