D&C 104
Verily
I
say
unto
you,
my
friends,
I
give
unto
you
counsel,
and
a
commandment,
concerning
all
the
a
properties
which
belong
to
the
order
which
I
commanded
to
be
organized
and
established,
to
be
a
b
united
order,
and
an
everlasting
order
for
the
benefit
of
my
c
church,
and
for
the
salvation
of
men
until
I
come—
2 With
promise
immutable
and
unchangeable,
that
inasmuch
as
those
whom
I
commanded
were
faithful
they
should
be
blessed
with
a
a
multiplicity
of
blessings;
3 But
inasmuch
as
they
were
not
faithful
they
were
nigh
unto
a
cursing.
4 Therefore,
inasmuch
as
some
of
my
servants
have
not
kept
the
commandment,
but
have
broken
the
covenant
through
a
covetousness,
and
with
feigned
words,
I
have
b
cursed
them
with
a
very
sore
and
grievous
curse.
5 For
I,
the
Lord,
have
decreed
in
my
heart,
that
inasmuch
as
any
man
belonging
to
the
order
shall
be
found
a
transgressor,
or,
in
other
words,
shall
break
the
a
covenant
with
which
ye
are
bound,
he
shall
be
cursed
in
his
life,
and
shall
be
trodden
down
by
whom
I
will;
6 For
I,
the
Lord,
am
not
to
be
a
mocked
in
these
things—
7 And
all
this
that
the
innocent
among
you
may
not
be
condemned
with
the
a
unjust;
and
that
the
guilty
among
you
may
not
escape;
because
I,
the
Lord,
have
promised
unto
you
a
b
crown
of
glory
at
my
c
right
hand.
8 Therefore,
inasmuch
as
you
are
found
transgressors,
you
cannot
escape
my
wrath
in
your
lives.
9 Inasmuch
as
ye
are
a
cut
off
for
transgression,
ye
cannot
escape
the
b
buffetings
of
c
Satan
until
the
day
of
redemption.
10 And
I
now
give
unto
you
power
from
this
very
hour,
that
if
any
man
among
you,
of
the
order,
is
found
a
transgressor
and
repenteth
not
of
the
evil,
that
ye
shall
a
deliver
him
over
unto
the
buffetings
of
Satan;
and
he
shall
not
have
power
to
b
bring
evil
upon
you.
11 It
is
wisdom
in
me;
therefore,
a
commandment
I
give
unto
you,
that
ye
shall
organize
yourselves
and
appoint
every
man
his
a
stewardship;
12 That
every
man
may
give
an
account
unto
me
of
the
stewardship
which
is
appointed
unto
him.
13 For
it
is
expedient
that
I,
the
Lord,
should
make
every
man
a
accountable,
as
a
b
steward
over
earthly
blessings,
which
I
have
made
and
prepared
for
my
creatures.
14 I,
the
Lord,
stretched
out
the
heavens,
and
a
built
the
earth,
my
very
b
handiwork;
and
all
things
therein
are
mine.
15 And
it
is
my
purpose
to
provide
for
my
saints,
for
all
things
are
mine.
16 But
it
must
needs
be
done
in
mine
own
a
way;
and
behold
this
is
the
way
that
I,
the
Lord,
have
decreed
to
provide
for
my
saints,
that
the
b
poor
shall
be
exalted,
in
that
the
rich
are
made
low.
17 For
the
a
earth
is
full,
and
there
is
enough
and
to
spare;
yea,
I
prepared
all
things,
and
have
given
unto
the
children
of
men
to
be
b
agents
unto
themselves.
18 Therefore,
if
any
man
shall
take
of
the
a
abundance
which
I
have
made,
and
impart
not
his
portion,
according
to
the
b
law
of
my
gospel,
unto
the
c
poor
and
the
needy,
he
shall,
with
the
wicked,
lift
up
his
eyes
in
d
hell,
being
in
torment.
19 And
now,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
concerning
the
a
properties
of
the
b
order—
20 Let
my
servant
Sidney
Rigdon
have
appointed
unto
him
the
place
where
he
now
resides,
and
the
lot
of
the
tannery
for
his
stewardship,
for
his
support
while
he
is
laboring
in
my
vineyard,
even
as
I
will,
when
I
shall
command
him.
21 And
let
all
things
be
done
according
to
the
counsel
of
the
order,
and
united
consent
or
voice
of
the
order,
which
dwell
in
the
land
of
Kirtland.
22 And
this
stewardship
and
blessing,
I,
the
Lord,
confer
upon
my
servant
Sidney
Rigdon
for
a
blessing
upon
him,
and
his
seed
after
him;
23 And
I
will
multiply
blessings
upon
him,
inasmuch
as
he
will
be
humble
before
me.
24 And
again,
let
my
servant
Martin
Harris
have
appointed
unto
him,
for
his
stewardship,
the
lot
of
land
which
my
servant
John
Johnson
obtained
in
exchange
for
his
former
inheritance,
for
him
and
his
seed
after
him;
25 And
inasmuch
as
he
is
faithful,
I
will
multiply
blessings
upon
him
and
his
seed
after
him.
26 And
let
my
servant
Martin
Harris
devote
his
moneys
for
the
proclaiming
of
my
words,
according
as
my
servant
Joseph
Smith,
Jun.,
shall
direct.
27 And
again,
let
my
servant
Frederick
G.
Williams
have
the
place
upon
which
he
now
dwells.
28 And
let
my
servant
Oliver
Cowdery
have
the
lot
which
is
set
off
joining
the
house,
which
is
to
be
for
the
printing
office,
which
is
lot
number
one,
and
also
the
lot
upon
which
his
father
resides.
29 And
let
my
servants
Frederick
G.
Williams
and
Oliver
Cowdery
have
the
printing
office
and
all
things
that
pertain
unto
it.
30 And
this
shall
be
their
stewardship
which
shall
be
appointed
unto
them.
31 And
inasmuch
as
they
are
faithful,
behold
I
will
bless,
and
multiply
blessings
upon
them.
32 And
this
is
the
beginning
of
the
stewardship
which
I
have
appointed
them,
for
them
and
their
seed
after
them.
33 And,
inasmuch
as
they
are
faithful,
I
will
multiply
blessings
upon
them
and
their
a
seed
after
them,
even
a
multiplicity
of
blessings.
34 And
again,
let
my
servant
John
Johnson
have
the
house
in
which
he
lives,
and
the
inheritance,
all
save
the
ground
which
has
been
reserved
for
the
a
building
of
my
houses,
which
pertains
to
that
inheritance,
and
those
lots
which
have
been
named
for
my
servant
Oliver
Cowdery.
35 And
inasmuch
as
he
is
faithful,
I
will
multiply
blessings
upon
him.
36 And
it
is
my
will
that
he
should
sell
the
lots
that
are
laid
off
for
the
building
up
of
the
a
city
of
my
saints,
inasmuch
as
it
shall
be
made
known
to
him
by
the
b
voice
of
the
Spirit,
and
according
to
the
counsel
of
the
order,
and
by
the
voice
of
the
order.
37 And
this
is
the
beginning
of
the
stewardship
which
I
have
appointed
unto
him,
for
a
blessing
unto
him
and
his
seed
after
him.
38 And
inasmuch
as
he
is
faithful,
I
will
multiply
a
multiplicity
of
blessings
upon
him.
39 And
again,
let
my
servant
Newel
K.
Whitney
have
appointed
unto
him
the
houses
and
lot
where
he
now
resides,
and
the
lot
and
building
on
which
the
mercantile
establishment
stands,
and
also
the
lot
which
is
on
the
corner
south
of
the
mercantile
establishment,
and
also
the
lot
on
which
the
ashery
is
situated.
40 And
all
this
I
have
appointed
unto
my
servant
Newel
K.
Whitney
for
his
stewardship,
for
a
blessing
upon
him
and
his
seed
after
him,
for
the
benefit
of
the
mercantile
establishment
of
my
order
which
I
have
established
for
my
stake
in
the
land
of
Kirtland.
41 Yea,
verily,
this
is
the
stewardship
which
I
have
appointed
unto
my
servant
N.
K.
Whitney,
even
this
whole
mercantile
establishment,
him
and
his
a
agent,
and
his
seed
after
him.
42 And
inasmuch
as
he
is
faithful
in
keeping
my
commandments,
which
I
have
given
unto
him,
I
will
multiply
blessings
upon
him
and
his
seed
after
him,
even
a
multiplicity
of
blessings.
43 And
again,
let
my
servant
Joseph
Smith,
Jun.,
have
appointed
unto
him
the
lot
which
is
laid
off
for
the
a
building
of
my
house,
which
is
forty
rods
long
and
twelve
wide,
and
also
the
inheritance
upon
which
his
father
now
resides;
44 And
this
is
the
beginning
of
the
stewardship
which
I
have
appointed
unto
him,
for
a
blessing
upon
him,
and
upon
his
father.
45 For
behold,
I
have
reserved
an
inheritance
for
his
a
father,
for
his
support;
therefore
he
shall
be
reckoned
in
the
house
of
my
servant
Joseph
Smith,
Jun.
46 And
I
will
multiply
blessings
upon
the
house
of
my
servant
Joseph
Smith,
Jun.,
inasmuch
as
he
is
faithful,
even
a
multiplicity
of
blessings.
47 And
now,
a
commandment
I
give
unto
you
concerning
Zion,
that
you
shall
no
longer
be
bound
as
a
a
united
order
to
your
brethren
of
Zion,
only
on
this
wise—
48 After
you
are
organized,
you
shall
be
called
the
United
Order
of
the
a
Stake
of
Zion,
the
City
of
Kirtland.
And
your
brethren,
after
they
are
organized,
shall
be
called
the
United
Order
of
the
City
of
Zion.
49 And
they
shall
be
organized
in
their
own
names,
and
in
their
own
name;
and
they
shall
do
their
business
in
their
own
name,
and
in
their
own
names;
50 And
you
shall
do
your
business
in
your
own
name,
and
in
your
own
names.
51 And
this
I
have
commanded
to
be
done
for
your
salvation,
and
also
for
their
salvation,
in
consequence
of
their
being
a
driven
out
and
that
which
is
to
come.
52 The
a
covenants
being
broken
through
transgression,
by
b
covetousness
and
feigned
words—
53 Therefore,
you
are
dissolved
as
a
united
order
with
your
brethren,
that
you
are
not
bound
only
up
to
this
hour
unto
them,
only
on
this
wise,
as
I
said,
by
a
loan
as
shall
be
agreed
by
this
order
in
council,
as
your
circumstances
will
admit
and
the
voice
of
the
council
direct.
54 And
again,
a
commandment
I
give
unto
you
concerning
your
stewardship
which
I
have
appointed
unto
you.
55 Behold,
all
these
properties
are
mine,
or
else
your
faith
is
vain,
and
ye
are
found
hypocrites,
and
the
a
covenants
which
ye
have
made
unto
me
are
broken;
56 And
if
the
properties
are
mine,
then
ye
are
a
stewards;
otherwise
ye
are
no
stewards.
57 But,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
I
have
appointed
unto
you
to
be
stewards
over
mine
house,
even
stewards
indeed.
58 And
for
this
purpose
I
have
commanded
you
to
organize
yourselves,
even
to
print
a
my
words,
the
fulness
of
my
scriptures,
the
revelations
which
I
have
given
unto
you,
and
which
I
shall,
hereafter,
from
time
to
time
give
unto
you—
59 For
the
purpose
of
building
up
my
church
and
kingdom
on
the
earth,
and
to
a
prepare
my
people
for
the
time
when
I
shall
b
dwell
with
them,
which
is
nigh
at
hand.
60 And
ye
shall
prepare
for
yourselves
a
place
for
a
a
treasury,
and
consecrate
it
unto
my
name.
61 And
ye
shall
appoint
one
among
you
to
keep
the
treasury,
and
he
shall
be
ordained
unto
this
blessing.
62 And
there
shall
be
a
seal
upon
the
treasury,
and
all
the
sacred
things
shall
be
delivered
into
the
treasury;
and
no
man
among
you
shall
call
it
his
own,
or
any
part
of
it,
for
it
shall
belong
to
you
all
with
one
accord.
63 And
I
give
it
unto
you
from
this
very
hour;
and
now
see
to
it,
that
ye
go
to
and
make
use
of
the
stewardship
which
I
have
appointed
unto
you,
exclusive
of
the
sacred
things,
for
the
purpose
of
printing
these
sacred
things
as
I
have
said.
64 And
the
a
avails
of
the
sacred
things
shall
be
had
in
the
treasury,
and
a
seal
shall
be
upon
it;
and
it
shall
not
be
used
or
taken
out
of
the
treasury
by
any
one,
neither
shall
the
seal
be
loosed
which
shall
be
placed
upon
it,
only
by
the
voice
of
the
order,
or
by
commandment.
65 And
thus
shall
ye
preserve
the
avails
of
the
sacred
things
in
the
treasury,
for
sacred
and
holy
purposes.
66 And
this
shall
be
called
the
a
sacred
treasury
of
the
Lord;
and
a
seal
shall
be
kept
upon
it
that
it
may
be
holy
and
consecrated
unto
the
Lord.
67 And
again,
there
shall
be
another
treasury
prepared,
and
a
treasurer
appointed
to
keep
the
treasury,
and
a
seal
shall
be
placed
upon
it;
68 And
all
moneys
that
you
receive
in
your
stewardships,
by
improving
upon
the
properties
which
I
have
appointed
unto
you,
in
houses,
or
in
lands,
or
in
cattle,
or
in
all
things
save
it
be
the
holy
and
sacred
writings,
which
I
have
reserved
unto
myself
for
holy
and
sacred
purposes,
shall
be
cast
into
the
treasury
as
fast
as
you
receive
moneys,
by
hundreds,
or
by
fifties,
or
by
twenties,
or
by
tens,
or
by
fives.
69 Or
in
other
words,
if
any
man
among
you
obtain
five
dollars
let
him
cast
them
into
the
treasury;
or
if
he
obtain
ten,
or
twenty,
or
fifty,
or
an
hundred,
let
him
do
likewise;
70 And
let
not
any
among
you
say
that
it
is
his
own;
for
it
shall
not
be
called
his,
nor
any
part
of
it.
71 And
there
shall
not
any
part
of
it
be
used,
or
taken
out
of
the
treasury,
only
by
the
voice
and
common
consent
of
the
order.
72 And
this
shall
be
the
voice
and
common
consent
of
the
order—that
any
man
among
you
say
to
the
treasurer:
I
have
need
of
this
to
help
me
in
my
stewardship—
73 If
it
be
five
dollars,
or
if
it
be
ten
dollars,
or
twenty,
or
fifty,
or
a
hundred,
the
treasurer
shall
give
unto
him
the
sum
which
he
requires
to
help
him
in
his
stewardship—
74 Until
he
be
found
a
transgressor,
and
it
is
manifest
before
the
council
of
the
order
plainly
that
he
is
an
unfaithful
and
an
a
unwise
steward.
75 But
so
long
as
he
is
in
full
fellowship,
and
is
faithful
and
wise
in
his
stewardship,
this
shall
be
his
token
unto
the
treasurer
that
the
treasurer
shall
not
withhold.
76 But
in
case
of
transgression,
the
treasurer
shall
be
subject
unto
the
council
and
voice
of
the
order.
77 And
in
case
the
treasurer
is
found
an
unfaithful
and
an
unwise
steward,
he
shall
be
subject
to
the
council
and
voice
of
the
order,
and
shall
be
removed
out
of
his
place,
and
a
another
shall
be
appointed
in
his
stead.
78 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
concerning
your
debts—behold
it
is
my
will
that
you
shall
a
pay
all
your
b
debts.
79 And
it
is
my
will
that
you
shall
a
humble
yourselves
before
me,
and
obtain
this
blessing
by
your
b
diligence
and
humility
and
the
prayer
of
faith.
80 And
inasmuch
as
you
are
diligent
and
humble,
and
exercise
the
a
prayer
of
faith,
behold,
I
will
soften
the
hearts
of
those
to
whom
you
are
in
debt,
until
I
shall
send
means
unto
you
for
your
b
deliverance.
81 Therefore
write
speedily
to
New
York
and
write
according
to
that
which
shall
be
dictated
by
my
a
Spirit;
and
I
will
soften
the
hearts
of
those
to
whom
you
are
in
debt,
that
it
shall
be
taken
away
out
of
their
minds
to
bring
affliction
upon
you.
82 And
inasmuch
as
ye
are
a
humble
and
faithful
and
b
call
upon
my
name,
behold,
I
will
give
you
the
c
victory.
83 I
give
unto
you
a
promise,
that
you
shall
be
delivered
this
once
out
of
your
a
bondage.
84 Inasmuch
as
you
obtain
a
chance
to
loan
money
by
hundreds,
or
thousands,
even
until
you
shall
loan
enough
to
deliver
yourself
from
bondage,
it
is
your
privilege.
85 And
pledge
the
properties
which
I
have
put
into
your
hands,
this
once,
by
giving
your
names
by
common
consent
or
otherwise,
as
it
shall
seem
good
unto
you.
86 I
give
unto
you
this
privilege,
this
once;
and
behold,
if
you
proceed
to
do
the
things
which
I
have
laid
before
you,
according
to
my
commandments,
all
these
things
are
mine,
and
ye
are
my
stewards,
and
the
master
will
not
suffer
his
house
to
be
a
broken
up.
Even
so.
Amen.
