\"I think there has been a concerted effort to keep the church how it is,\" said the Rev. Edward B. Smart, who became the church's 68th pastor in 2004. \"It isn't that we don't need the space, but the fact is that keeping it like this serves as a remembrance of the legacy that we have. Everything that you touch and walk on in this church is living history.\" The plain wood pews, with crosses carved into each end, run up close to the altar, which is bookended by an organ and a piano. There is a mural painted above the altar that depicts the past, present and future of the church, the words \"Walking With God Through Many Generations\" written above it. \"They would have counseled their congregations to continue to support King's outlook and philosophy and trust God,\" Lawrence said. \"On the flip side of that there was understandable anger associated with the messenger being killed, so it was the role of the pastor to be realistic about what people were feeling, but to maintain King's philosophy to love your enemy.

Hundreds, maybe as many as a thousand strangers flowed from every direction into a corner of Liberty Park on Sunday night. They came together to pray with [Edward Smart] and Lois Smart for the safe return of their daughter, 14-year-old Elizabeth. By the time the vigil concluded, many people were silently and slowly walking away, their candles still burning. At the Smart family's LDS Church ward, Bishop David C. Hamblin considered canceling Sunday's regular service because he thought too many people would be out assisting with the search. CANDLES IN THE WIND Landon McIntyre, 11, who joined Elizabeth Smart's family, friends and complete strangers for a vigil in Liberty Park on Sunday, said he hopes to \"find her and for her to be safe.\"

Although they know what happened to [Elizabeth Smart] during her ordeal, they declined to reveal whether she was sexually abused. They said the teen was under [Brian Mitchell]'s spell and did not try to flee because she feared he would kill her. Mitchell apparently watched Elizabeth after he was hired in November 2001 to do roof repairs, said [Edward Smart], who described the handyman as soft-spoken and quiet. TOM SMART DESERET NEWS HOME AGAIN Nine months after abduction, Ed Smart poses with daughters Elizabeth (r.) and Mary Katherine yesterday at their home in Salt Lake City.

With no credible leads and almost no physical evidence, baffled investigators have re-examined the family's Federal Heights home, reinterviewed members of the family and administered a polygraph test to the 14-year-old girl's father, said Salt Lake City police Capt. Scott Atkinson. He emphasized Edward Smart is not a suspect in his daughter's disappearance. Elizabeth was taken by an armed intruder inside her family's Federal Heights home between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. Wednesday, according to police. The man, who reportedly carried a small black handgun, entered the bedroom shared by Elizabeth and her 9-year-old sister. He forced Elizabeth to go with him and threatened the younger girl that if she told anyone, her sister would be hurt, the child told police. \"The whole family believes she is alive,\" said Elizabeth's cousin, Sierra Smart, who said she is as perplexed as police investigators by the girl's disappearance. \"It is exactly as confusing as it appears. There's no secret.\"

ELIZABETH Smart wouldn't even answer to her own name. When the missing Utah teenager turned up on Wednesday - after a bizarre nine- month odyssey with a pair of drifters - she gave police a phony identity, called herself a runaway and referred to her captors as her parents. Police said Elizabeth was held in the Utah mountains from June to August. She heard searchers - including her uncle - frantically call her name and spotted ribbons and balloons in her favourite powder blue. But she didn't have a clue or say a word. \"She had no idea,\" her dad said.

The father, Ed Smart, said he did not know if the letter was credible, but he begged the letter writer to contact him again. The letter sought no ransom and made no threats, Mr. Smart said.

With prosecutors expected to file charges soon against a nomadic homeless couple in the disappearance of Elizabeth Smart, her family has waged a concerted effort to portray her as having been incapable of escape during months of wandering streets and canyons almost within sight of her home. Responding to increasingly direct questions about what happened to Elizabeth, now 15, after she was taken at knifepoint from her bed on June 5, relatives attending a church service Sunday morning took pains to explain that while they had not pressed Elizabeth for details, they were certain that she had been brainwashed by the man she knew as Emmanuel. \"She had no ability to control her life,\" Charles Smart, her paternal grandfather and a retired heart surgeon, told the congregation at a packed Mormon church near the Smart home. \"She was completely controlled by Emmanuel.\" They would not respond to rumors that Elizabeth had been \"married\" to her apparent captor, whose real name is Brian Mitchell, in a campsite ceremony just hours after her abduction.

In a news conference Thursday afternoon, Salt Lake City Police Chief Rick Dinse described Mitchell as a \"self-proclaimed polygamist\" but would not say whether Elizabeth was abducted by Mitchell to be a wife. \"That is part of what we are investigating right now,\" the chief said. On the night of the kidnapping, Dinse said Mitchell had cut through a screen window, threatened Elizabeth with the knife _ not a gun as the police had previously reported _ and took her outside through a screen door. Then, at knifepoint, he led her through the back yard into the canyons that reach into the foothills behind the Smart home, he said. [Edward Smart] held a news conference Thursday morning during which he shared heartwarming details of the family's first night together. He said that Elizabeth and her sister, Mary Katherine, had fallen asleep in their bedroom holdings hands. Elizabeth watched her favorite movie, \"The Trouble with Angels.\" At the urging of her family, she also struggled through a few songs on the harp, complaining that she was out of practice after nine months away.

  Senate leaders appealed to the House to remove the Amber Alert provision from the larger package so it could more easily win approval. There is wide bipartisan support in the House for a stand- alone Amber bill. More than 140 members, both Democrats and Republicans, have signed on to the separate bill. It is co- sponsored by Reps. Martin Frost, D-Texas, and Jennifer Dunn, R- Wash. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, based in Alexandria, Va., says public involvement in cases has been a key tool in recovering kidnapped children. But as states rushed to follow Texas' example, some experts warned against overusing alerts, and thus inuring the public to them. John Walsh, host of Fox television's America's Most Wanted program, says the concerns are unfounded. \"It won't be overused,\" he said. \"There are strict criteria. It has to be determined that there's been foul play, that it's a stranger abduction and not a custodial case. They make the decision and call the local media.\" Amber Alert: Cars pass a sign that asks motorists for information about a missing child last August in Los Angeles; 38 states have Amber Alert laws

The father of 14-year-old kidnap victim Elizabeth Ann Smart was given a polygraph exam, authorities said Monday, as the search for the girl expanded into the desert outside Salt Lake City. Experts said it would be unlikely that Elizabeth's 9-year-old sister, who shared the bedroom and witnessed the abduction, would undergo a polygraph. The sister has been unable to provide a complete description of the intruder, whom she described as a 5- foot, 8-inch white male wearing a white baseball cap and a light- colored jacket. [Edward Smart]'s brother, [Chris Thomas], said Monday the family remains hopeful the kidnapper will release Elizabeth. \"We hope that as the person hears the family pleading, he'll let her go,\" he said.
