D&C 124
Verily,
thus
saith
the
Lord
unto
you,
my
servant
Joseph
Smith,
I
am
well
pleased
with
your
a
offering
and
acknowledgments,
which
you
have
made;
for
unto
this
end
have
I
raised
you
up,
that
I
might
show
forth
my
b
wisdom
through
the
c
weak
things
of
the
earth.
2 Your
prayers
are
acceptable
before
me;
and
in
answer
to
them
I
say
unto
you,
that
you
are
now
called
immediately
to
make
a
solemn
a
proclamation
of
my
gospel,
and
of
this
b
stake
which
I
have
planted
to
be
a
c
cornerstone
of
Zion,
which
shall
be
polished
with
the
refinement
which
is
after
the
similitude
of
a
palace.
3 This
proclamation
shall
be
made
to
all
the
a
kings
of
the
world,
to
the
four
corners
thereof,
to
the
honorable
president-elect,
and
the
high-minded
governors
of
the
nation
in
which
you
live,
and
to
all
the
nations
of
the
earth
scattered
abroad.
4 Let
it
be
a
written
in
the
spirit
of
meekness
and
by
the
power
of
the
Holy
Ghost,
which
shall
be
in
you
at
the
time
of
the
writing
of
the
same;
5 For
it
shall
be
a
given
you
by
the
Holy
Ghost
to
know
my
b
will
concerning
those
c
kings
and
authorities,
even
what
shall
befall
them
in
a
time
to
come.
6 For,
behold,
I
am
about
to
call
upon
them
to
give
heed
to
the
light
and
glory
of
Zion,
for
the
set
time
has
come
to
favor
her.
7 Call
ye,
therefore,
upon
them
with
loud
proclamation,
and
with
your
testimony,
fearing
them
not,
for
they
are
as
a
grass,
and
all
their
glory
as
the
flower
thereof
which
soon
falleth,
that
they
may
be
left
also
without
excuse—
8 And
that
I
may
a
visit
them
in
the
day
of
visitation,
when
I
shall
b
unveil
the
face
of
my
covering,
to
appoint
the
portion
of
the
c
oppressor
among
hypocrites,
where
there
is
d
gnashing
of
teeth,
if
they
reject
my
servants
and
my
testimony
which
I
have
revealed
unto
them.
9 And
again,
I
will
visit
and
soften
their
hearts,
many
of
them
for
your
good,
that
ye
may
find
grace
in
their
eyes,
that
they
may
come
to
the
a
light
of
truth,
and
the
Gentiles
to
the
exaltation
or
lifting
up
of
Zion.
10 For
the
day
of
my
visitation
cometh
speedily,
in
an
a
hour
when
ye
think
not
of;
and
where
shall
be
the
safety
of
my
people,
and
refuge
for
those
who
shall
be
left
of
them?
11 Awake,
O
kings
of
the
earth!
Come
ye,
O,
come
ye,
with
your
a
gold
and
your
silver,
to
the
help
of
my
people,
to
the
house
of
the
daughters
of
Zion.
12 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
let
my
servant
Robert
B.
Thompson
help
you
to
write
this
proclamation,
for
I
am
well
pleased
with
him,
and
that
he
should
be
with
you;
13 Let
him,
therefore,
hearken
to
your
counsel,
and
I
will
bless
him
with
a
multiplicity
of
blessings;
let
him
be
faithful
and
true
in
all
things
from
henceforth,
and
he
shall
be
great
in
mine
eyes;
14 But
let
him
remember
that
his
a
stewardship
will
I
require
at
his
hands.
15 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
blessed
is
my
servant
Hyrum
Smith;
for
I,
the
Lord,
love
him
because
of
the
a
integrity
of
his
heart,
and
because
he
loveth
that
which
is
right
before
me,
saith
the
Lord.
16 Again,
let
my
servant
John
C.
Bennett
help
you
in
your
labor
in
sending
my
word
to
the
kings
and
people
of
the
earth,
and
stand
by
you,
even
you
my
servant
Joseph
Smith,
in
the
hour
of
affliction;
and
his
reward
shall
not
fail
if
he
receive
a
counsel.
17 And
for
his
love
he
shall
be
great,
for
he
shall
be
mine
if
he
do
this,
saith
the
Lord.
I
have
seen
the
work
which
he
hath
done,
which
I
accept
if
he
continue,
and
will
crown
him
with
blessings
and
great
glory.
18 And
again,
I
say
unto
you
that
it
is
my
will
that
my
servant
Lyman
Wight
should
continue
in
preaching
for
Zion,
in
the
spirit
of
meekness,
confessing
me
before
the
world;
and
I
will
bear
him
up
as
on
a
eagles'
wings;
and
he
shall
beget
glory
and
honor
to
himself
and
unto
my
name.
19 That
when
he
shall
finish
his
work
I
may
a
receive
him
unto
myself,
even
as
I
did
my
servant
David
Patten,
who
is
with
me
at
this
time,
and
also
my
servant
b
Edward
Partridge,
and
also
my
aged
servant
Joseph
Smith,
Sen.,
who
sitteth
c
with
Abraham
at
his
right
hand,
and
blessed
and
holy
is
he,
for
he
is
mine.
20 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
my
servant
George
Miller
is
without
a
guile;
he
may
be
trusted
because
of
the
b
integrity
of
his
heart;
and
for
the
love
which
he
has
to
my
testimony
I,
the
Lord,
love
him.
21 I
therefore
say
unto
you,
I
seal
upon
his
head
the
office
of
a
bishopric,
like
unto
my
a
servant
Edward
Partridge,
that
he
may
receive
the
consecrations
of
mine
house,
that
he
may
administer
blessings
upon
the
heads
of
the
poor
of
my
people,
saith
the
Lord.
Let
no
man
despise
my
servant
George,
for
he
shall
honor
me.
22 Let
my
servant
George,
and
my
servant
Lyman,
and
my
servant
John
Snider,
and
others,
build
a
a
house
unto
my
name,
such
a
one
as
my
servant
Joseph
shall
show
unto
them,
upon
the
place
which
he
shall
show
unto
them
also.
23 And
it
shall
be
for
a
house
for
boarding,
a
house
that
strangers
may
come
from
afar
to
lodge
therein;
therefore
let
it
be
a
good
house,
worthy
of
all
acceptation,
that
the
weary
a
traveler
may
find
health
and
safety
while
he
shall
contemplate
the
word
of
the
Lord;
and
the
b
cornerstone
I
have
appointed
for
Zion.
24 This
house
shall
be
a
healthful
habitation
if
it
be
built
unto
my
name,
and
if
the
governor
which
shall
be
appointed
unto
it
shall
not
suffer
any
pollution
to
come
upon
it.
It
shall
be
holy,
or
the
Lord
your
God
will
not
a
dwell
therein.
25 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
let
all
my
saints
a
come
from
afar.
26 And
send
ye
a
swift
messengers,
yea,
chosen
messengers,
and
say
unto
them:
Come
ye,
with
all
your
b
gold,
and
your
silver,
and
your
precious
stones,
and
with
all
your
antiquities;
and
with
all
who
have
c
knowledge
of
antiquities,
that
will
come,
may
come,
and
bring
the
d
box
tree,
and
the
fir
tree,
and
the
pine
tree,
together
with
all
the
precious
trees
of
the
earth;
27 And
with
iron,
with
copper,
and
with
brass,
and
with
zinc,
and
with
all
your
precious
things
of
the
earth;
and
build
a
a
house
to
my
name,
for
the
Most
High
to
b
dwell
therein.
28 For
there
is
not
a
place
found
on
earth
that
he
may
come
to
and
a
restore
again
that
which
was
lost
unto
you,
or
which
he
hath
taken
away,
even
the
fulness
of
the
priesthood.
29 For
a
a
baptismal
font
there
is
not
upon
the
earth,
that
they,
my
saints,
may
be
b
baptized
for
those
who
are
dead—
30 For
this
ordinance
belongeth
to
my
house,
and
cannot
be
acceptable
to
me,
only
in
the
days
of
your
poverty,
wherein
ye
are
not
able
to
build
a
house
unto
me.
31 But
I
command
you,
all
ye
my
saints,
to
a
build
a
house
unto
me;
and
I
grant
unto
you
a
sufficient
time
to
build
a
house
unto
me;
and
during
this
time
your
baptisms
shall
be
acceptable
unto
me.
32 But
behold,
at
the
end
of
this
appointment
your
baptisms
for
your
dead
shall
not
be
acceptable
unto
me;
and
if
you
do
not
these
things
at
the
end
of
the
appointment
ye
shall
be
rejected
as
a
church,
with
your
dead,
saith
the
Lord
your
God.
33 For
verily
I
say
unto
you,
that
a
after
you
have
had
sufficient
time
to
build
a
house
to
me,
wherein
the
ordinance
of
baptizing
for
the
dead
belongeth,
and
for
which
the
same
was
instituted
from
before
the
foundation
of
the
world,
your
baptisms
for
your
dead
cannot
be
acceptable
unto
me;
34 For
therein
are
the
a
keys
of
the
holy
priesthood
ordained,
that
you
may
receive
honor
and
glory.
35 And
after
this
time,
your
baptisms
for
the
dead,
by
those
who
are
scattered
abroad,
are
not
acceptable
unto
me,
saith
the
Lord.
36 For
it
is
ordained
that
in
Zion,
and
in
her
stakes,
and
in
Jerusalem,
those
places
which
I
have
appointed
for
a
refuge,
shall
be
the
places
for
your
baptisms
for
your
dead.
37 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
how
shall
your
a
washings
be
acceptable
unto
me,
except
ye
perform
them
in
a
house
which
you
have
built
to
my
name?
38 For,
for
this
cause
I
commanded
Moses
that
he
should
build
a
a
tabernacle,
that
they
should
bear
it
with
them
in
the
wilderness,
and
to
build
a
house
in
the
land
of
promise,
that
those
ordinances
might
be
revealed
which
had
been
hid
from
before
the
world
was.
39 Therefore,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
that
your
a
anointings,
and
your
washings,
and
your
b
baptisms
for
the
dead,
and
your
c
solemn
assemblies,
and
your
d
memorials
for
your
e
sacrifices
by
the
sons
of
Levi,
and
for
your
f
oracles
in
your
most
g
holy
places
wherein
you
receive
conversations,
and
your
statutes
and
judgments,
for
the
beginning
of
the
revelations
and
foundation
of
Zion,
and
for
the
glory,
honor,
and
endowment
of
all
her
municipals,
are
ordained
by
the
ordinance
of
my
holy
house,
which
my
people
are
always
commanded
to
build
unto
my
holy
name.
40 And
verily
I
say
unto
you,
let
this
a
house
be
built
unto
my
name,
that
I
may
reveal
mine
ordinances
therein
unto
my
people;
41 For
I
deign
to
a
reveal
unto
my
church
things
which
have
been
kept
b
hid
from
before
the
foundation
of
the
world,
things
that
pertain
to
the
dispensation
of
the
c
fulness
of
times.
42 And
a
I
will
show
unto
my
servant
Joseph
all
things
pertaining
to
this
house,
and
the
priesthood
thereof,
and
the
place
whereon
it
shall
be
built.
43 And
ye
shall
build
it
on
the
place
where
you
have
contemplated
building
it,
for
that
is
the
spot
which
I
have
chosen
for
you
to
build
it.
44 If
ye
labor
with
all
your
might,
I
will
consecrate
that
spot
that
it
shall
be
made
a
holy.
45 And
if
my
people
will
hearken
unto
my
voice,
and
unto
the
voice
of
my
a
servants
whom
I
have
appointed
to
lead
my
people,
behold,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
they
shall
not
be
moved
out
of
their
place.
46 But
if
they
will
not
a
hearken
to
my
voice,
nor
unto
the
voice
of
these
men
whom
I
have
appointed,
they
shall
not
be
blest,
because
they
b
pollute
mine
holy
grounds,
and
mine
holy
ordinances,
and
charters,
and
my
holy
words
which
I
give
unto
them.
47 And
it
shall
come
to
pass
that
if
you
build
a
house
unto
my
name,
and
do
not
do
the
things
that
I
say,
I
will
not
perform
the
a
oath
which
I
make
unto
you,
neither
fulfil
the
promises
which
ye
expect
at
my
hands,
saith
the
Lord.
48 For
a
instead
of
blessings,
ye,
by
your
own
works,
bring
cursings,
wrath,
indignation,
and
judgments
upon
your
own
heads,
by
your
follies,
and
by
all
your
abominations,
which
you
practice
before
me,
saith
the
Lord.
49 Verily,
verily,
I
say
unto
you,
that
when
I
give
a
commandment
to
any
of
the
sons
of
men
to
do
a
work
unto
my
name,
and
those
sons
of
men
go
with
all
their
might
and
with
all
they
have
to
perform
that
work,
and
cease
not
their
a
diligence,
and
their
enemies
come
upon
them
and
b
hinder
them
from
performing
that
work,
behold,
it
behooveth
me
to
c
require
that
work
no
more
at
the
hands
of
those
sons
of
men,
but
to
accept
of
their
offerings.
50 And
the
iniquity
and
transgression
of
my
holy
laws
and
commandments
I
will
a
visit
upon
the
heads
of
those
who
hindered
my
work,
unto
the
third
and
fourth
b
generation,
so
long
as
they
repent
not,
and
hate
me,
saith
the
Lord
God.
51 Therefore,
for
this
cause
have
I
accepted
the
offerings
of
those
whom
I
commanded
to
build
up
a
city
and
a
a
house
unto
my
name,
in
Jackson
county,
Missouri,
and
were
hindered
by
their
enemies,
saith
the
Lord
your
God.
52 And
I
will
answer
a
judgment,
wrath,
and
indignation,
wailing,
and
anguish,
and
gnashing
of
teeth
upon
their
heads,
unto
the
third
and
fourth
generation,
so
long
as
they
repent
not,
and
hate
me,
saith
the
Lord
your
God.
53 And
this
I
make
an
a
example
unto
you,
for
your
consolation
concerning
all
those
who
have
been
commanded
to
do
a
work
and
have
been
hindered
by
the
hands
of
their
enemies,
and
by
b
oppression,
saith
the
Lord
your
God.
54 For
I
am
the
Lord
your
God,
and
will
save
all
those
of
your
brethren
who
have
been
a
pure
in
heart,
and
have
been
b
slain
in
the
land
of
Missouri,
saith
the
Lord.
55 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
I
command
you
again
to
build
a
a
house
to
my
name,
even
in
this
place,
that
you
may
b
prove
yourselves
unto
me
that
ye
are
c
faithful
in
all
things
whatsoever
I
command
you,
that
I
may
bless
you,
and
crown
you
with
honor,
immortality,
and
eternal
life.
56 And
now
I
say
unto
you,
as
pertaining
to
my
boarding
a
house
which
I
have
commanded
you
to
build
for
the
boarding
of
strangers,
let
it
be
built
unto
my
name,
and
let
my
name
be
named
upon
it,
and
let
my
servant
Joseph
and
his
house
have
place
therein,
from
generation
to
generation.
57 For
this
a
anointing
have
I
put
upon
his
head,
that
his
blessing
shall
also
be
put
upon
the
head
of
his
posterity
after
him.
58 And
as
I
said
unto
a
Abraham
concerning
the
kindreds
of
the
earth,
even
so
I
say
unto
my
servant
Joseph:
In
thee
and
in
thy
b
seed
shall
the
kindred
of
the
earth
be
blessed.
59 Therefore,
let
my
servant
Joseph
and
his
seed
after
him
have
place
in
that
house,
from
generation
to
generation,
forever
and
ever,
saith
the
Lord.
60 And
let
the
name
of
that
house
be
called
a
Nauvoo
House;
and
let
it
be
a
delightful
habitation
for
man,
and
a
resting-place
for
the
weary
traveler,
that
he
may
contemplate
the
glory
of
Zion,
and
the
glory
of
this,
the
cornerstone
thereof;
61 That
he
may
receive
also
the
counsel
from
those
whom
I
have
set
to
be
as
a
plants
of
renown,
and
as
b
watchmen
upon
her
walls.
62 Behold,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
let
my
servant
George
Miller,
and
my
servant
Lyman
Wight,
and
my
servant
John
Snider,
and
my
servant
Peter
Haws,
organize
themselves,
and
appoint
one
of
them
to
be
a
president
over
their
quorum
for
the
purpose
of
building
that
house.
63 And
they
shall
form
a
constitution,
whereby
they
may
receive
stock
for
the
building
of
that
house.
64 And
they
shall
not
receive
less
than
fifty
dollars
for
a
share
of
stock
in
that
house,
and
they
shall
be
permitted
to
receive
fifteen
thousand
dollars
from
any
one
man
for
stock
in
that
house.
65 But
they
shall
not
be
permitted
to
receive
over
fifteen
thousand
dollars
stock
from
any
one
man.
66 And
they
shall
not
be
permitted
to
receive
under
fifty
dollars
for
a
share
of
stock
from
any
one
man
in
that
house.
67 And
they
shall
not
be
permitted
to
receive
any
man,
as
a
stockholder
in
this
house,
except
the
same
shall
pay
his
stock
into
their
hands
at
the
time
he
receives
stock;
68 And
in
proportion
to
the
amount
of
stock
he
pays
into
their
hands
he
shall
receive
stock
in
that
house;
but
if
he
pays
nothing
into
their
hands
he
shall
not
receive
any
stock
in
that
house.
69 And
if
any
pay
stock
into
their
hands
it
shall
be
for
stock
in
that
house,
for
himself,
and
for
his
generation
after
him,
from
generation
to
generation,
so
long
as
he
and
his
heirs
shall
hold
that
stock,
and
do
not
sell
or
convey
the
stock
away
out
of
their
hands
by
their
own
free
will
and
act,
if
you
will
do
my
will,
saith
the
Lord
your
God.
70 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
if
my
servant
George
Miller,
and
my
servant
Lyman
Wight,
and
my
servant
John
Snider,
and
my
servant
Peter
Haws,
receive
any
stock
into
their
hands,
in
moneys,
or
in
properties
wherein
they
receive
the
real
value
of
moneys,
they
shall
not
appropriate
any
portion
of
that
stock
to
any
other
purpose,
only
in
that
house.
71 And
if
they
do
appropriate
any
portion
of
that
stock
anywhere
else,
only
in
that
house,
without
the
consent
of
the
stockholder,
and
do
not
repay
four-fold
for
the
stock
which
they
appropriate
anywhere
else,
only
in
that
house,
they
shall
be
accursed,
and
shall
be
moved
out
of
their
place,
saith
the
Lord
God;
for
I,
the
Lord,
am
God,
and
cannot
be
a
mocked
in
any
of
these
things.
72 Verily
I
say
unto
you,
let
my
servant
Joseph
pay
stock
into
their
hands
for
the
building
of
that
house,
as
seemeth
him
good;
but
my
servant
Joseph
cannot
pay
over
fifteen
thousand
dollars
stock
in
that
house,
nor
under
fifty
dollars;
neither
can
any
other
man,
saith
the
Lord.
73 And
there
are
others
also
who
wish
to
know
my
will
concerning
them,
for
they
have
asked
it
at
my
hands.
74 Therefore,
I
say
unto
you
concerning
my
servant
Vinson
Knight,
if
he
will
do
my
will
let
him
put
stock
into
that
house
for
himself,
and
for
his
generation
after
him,
from
generation
to
generation.
75 And
let
him
lift
up
his
voice
long
and
loud,
in
the
midst
of
the
people,
to
a
plead
the
cause
of
the
poor
and
the
needy;
and
let
him
not
fail,
neither
let
his
heart
faint;
and
I
will
b
accept
of
his
offerings,
for
they
shall
not
be
unto
me
as
the
offerings
of
Cain,
for
he
shall
be
mine,
saith
the
Lord.
76 Let
his
family
rejoice
and
turn
away
their
hearts
from
affliction;
for
I
have
chosen
him
and
anointed
him,
and
he
shall
be
honored
in
the
midst
of
his
house,
for
I
will
forgive
all
his
sins,
saith
the
Lord.
Amen.
77 Verily
I
say
unto
you,
let
my
servant
Hyrum
put
stock
into
that
house
as
seemeth
him
good,
for
himself
and
his
generation
after
him,
from
generation
to
generation.
78 Let
my
servant
Isaac
Galland
put
stock
into
that
house;
for
I,
the
Lord,
love
him
for
the
work
he
hath
done,
and
will
forgive
all
his
sins;
therefore,
let
him
be
remembered
for
an
interest
in
that
house
from
generation
to
generation.
79 Let
my
servant
Isaac
Galland
be
appointed
among
you,
and
be
ordained
by
my
servant
William
Marks,
and
be
blessed
of
him,
to
go
with
my
servant
Hyrum
to
accomplish
the
work
that
my
servant
Joseph
shall
point
out
to
them,
and
they
shall
be
greatly
blessed.
80 Let
my
servant
William
Marks
pay
stock
into
that
house,
as
seemeth
him
good,
for
himself
and
his
generation,
from
generation
to
generation.
81 Let
my
servant
Henry
G.
Sherwood
pay
stock
into
that
house,
as
seemeth
him
good,
for
himself
and
his
seed
after
him,
from
generation
to
generation.
82 Let
my
servant
William
Law
pay
stock
into
that
house,
for
himself
and
his
seed
after
him,
from
generation
to
generation.
83 If
he
will
do
my
will
let
him
not
take
his
family
unto
the
eastern
lands,
even
unto
Kirtland;
nevertheless,
I,
the
Lord,
will
build
up
a
Kirtland,
but
I,
the
Lord,
have
a
scourge
prepared
for
the
inhabitants
thereof.
84 And
with
my
servant
Almon
Babbitt,
there
are
many
things
with
which
I
am
not
pleased;
behold,
he
aspireth
to
establish
his
counsel
instead
of
the
counsel
which
I
have
ordained,
even
that
of
the
Presidency
of
my
Church;
and
he
setteth
up
a
a
golden
calf
for
the
worship
of
my
people.
85 Let
no
man
a
go
from
this
place
who
has
come
here
essaying
to
keep
my
commandments.
86 If
they
live
here
let
them
live
unto
me;
and
if
they
die
let
them
die
unto
me;
for
they
shall
a
rest
from
all
their
labors
here,
and
shall
continue
their
works.
87 Therefore,
let
my
servant
William
put
his
trust
in
me,
and
cease
to
fear
concerning
his
family,
because
of
the
sickness
of
the
land.
If
ye
a
love
me,
keep
my
commandments;
and
the
sickness
of
the
land
shall
b
redound
to
your
glory.
88 Let
my
servant
William
go
and
proclaim
my
everlasting
gospel
with
a
loud
voice,
and
with
great
joy,
as
he
shall
be
moved
upon
by
my
a
Spirit,
unto
the
inhabitants
of
Warsaw,
and
also
unto
the
inhabitants
of
Carthage,
and
also
unto
the
inhabitants
of
Burlington,
and
also
unto
the
inhabitants
of
Madison,
and
await
patiently
and
diligently
for
further
instructions
at
my
general
conference,
saith
the
Lord.
89 If
he
will
do
my
a
will
let
him
from
henceforth
hearken
to
the
counsel
of
my
servant
Joseph,
and
with
his
interest
support
the
b
cause
of
the
poor,
and
publish
c
the
new
translation
of
my
holy
word
unto
the
inhabitants
of
the
earth.
90 And
if
he
will
do
this
I
will
a
bless
him
with
a
multiplicity
of
blessings,
that
he
shall
not
be
forsaken,
nor
his
seed
be
found
b
begging
bread.
91 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
let
my
servant
William
be
appointed,
ordained,
and
anointed,
as
counselor
unto
my
servant
Joseph,
in
the
room
of
my
servant
Hyrum,
that
my
servant
Hyrum
may
take
the
office
of
Priesthood
and
a
Patriarch,
which
was
appointed
unto
him
by
his
father,
by
blessing
and
also
by
right;
92 That
from
henceforth
he
shall
hold
the
keys
of
the
a
patriarchal
blessings
upon
the
heads
of
all
my
people,
93 That
whoever
he
blesses
shall
be
blessed,
and
whoever
he
a
curses
shall
be
cursed;
that
whatsoever
he
shall
b
bind
on
earth
shall
be
bound
in
heaven;
and
whatsoever
he
shall
loose
on
earth
shall
be
loosed
in
heaven.
94 And
from
this
time
forth
I
appoint
unto
him
that
he
may
be
a
prophet,
and
a
a
seer,
and
a
revelator
unto
my
church,
as
well
as
my
servant
Joseph;
95 That
he
may
act
in
concert
also
with
my
a
servant
Joseph;
and
that
he
shall
receive
counsel
from
my
servant
Joseph,
who
shall
show
unto
him
the
b
keys
whereby
he
may
ask
and
receive,
and
be
crowned
with
the
same
blessing,
and
glory,
and
honor,
and
priesthood,
and
gifts
of
the
priesthood,
that
once
were
put
upon
him
that
was
my
servant
c
Oliver
Cowdery;
96 That
my
servant
Hyrum
may
bear
record
of
the
things
which
I
shall
show
unto
him,
that
his
name
may
be
had
in
honorable
remembrance
from
generation
to
generation,
forever
and
ever.
97 Let
my
servant
William
Law
also
receive
the
keys
by
which
he
may
ask
and
receive
blessings;
let
him
be
a
humble
before
me,
and
be
without
b
guile,
and
he
shall
receive
of
my
Spirit,
even
the
c
Comforter,
which
shall
manifest
unto
him
the
truth
of
all
things,
and
shall
give
him,
in
the
very
hour,
what
he
shall
say.
98 And
these
a
signs
shall
follow
him—he
shall
heal
the
b
sick,
he
shall
cast
out
devils,
and
shall
be
delivered
from
those
who
would
administer
unto
him
deadly
poison;
99 And
he
shall
be
led
in
paths
where
the
poisonous
serpent
a
cannot
lay
hold
upon
his
heel,
and
he
shall
mount
up
in
the
b
imagination
of
his
thoughts
as
upon
eagles'
wings.
100 And
what
if
I
will
that
he
should
a
raise
the
dead,
let
him
not
withhold
his
voice.
101 Therefore,
let
my
servant
William
cry
aloud
and
spare
not,
with
joy
and
rejoicing,
and
with
hosannas
to
him
that
sitteth
upon
the
throne
forever
and
ever,
saith
the
Lord
your
God.
102 Behold,
I
say
unto
you,
I
have
a
mission
in
store
for
my
servant
William,
and
my
servant
Hyrum,
and
for
them
alone;
and
let
my
servant
Joseph
tarry
at
home,
for
he
is
needed.
The
remainder
I
will
show
unto
you
hereafter.
Even
so.
Amen.
103 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
if
my
servant
Sidney
will
serve
me
and
be
a
counselor
unto
my
servant
Joseph,
let
him
arise
and
come
up
and
stand
in
the
office
of
his
calling,
and
humble
himself
before
me.
104 And
if
he
will
offer
unto
me
an
acceptable
offering,
and
acknowledgments,
and
remain
with
my
people,
behold,
I,
the
Lord
your
God,
will
heal
him
that
he
shall
be
healed;
and
he
shall
lift
up
his
voice
again
on
the
mountains,
and
be
a
a
spokesman
before
my
face.
105 Let
him
come
and
locate
his
family
in
the
neighborhood
in
which
my
servant
Joseph
resides.
106 And
in
all
his
journeyings
let
him
lift
up
his
voice
as
with
the
sound
of
a
trump,
and
warn
the
inhabitants
of
the
earth
to
flee
the
wrath
to
come.
107 Let
him
assist
my
servant
Joseph,
and
also
let
my
servant
William
Law
assist
my
servant
Joseph,
in
making
a
solemn
a
proclamation
unto
the
kings
of
the
earth,
even
as
I
have
before
said
unto
you.
108 If
my
servant
Sidney
will
do
my
will,
let
him
not
remove
his
family
unto
the
a
eastern
lands,
but
let
him
change
their
habitation,
even
as
I
have
said.
109 Behold,
it
is
not
my
will
that
he
shall
seek
to
find
safety
and
refuge
out
of
the
city
which
I
have
appointed
unto
you,
even
the
city
of
Nauvoo.
110 Verily
I
say
unto
you,
even
now,
if
he
will
hearken
unto
my
voice,
it
shall
be
well
with
him.
Even
so.
Amen.
111 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
let
my
servant
Amos
Davies
pay
stock
into
the
hands
of
those
whom
I
have
appointed
to
build
a
house
for
boarding,
even
the
Nauvoo
House.
112 This
let
him
do
if
he
will
have
an
interest;
and
let
him
hearken
unto
the
counsel
of
my
servant
Joseph,
and
labor
with
his
own
hands
that
he
may
obtain
the
confidence
of
men.
113 And
when
he
shall
a
prove
himself
faithful
in
all
things
that
shall
be
b
entrusted
unto
his
care,
yea,
even
a
few
things,
he
shall
be
made
ruler
over
many;
114 Let
him
therefore
a
abase
himself
that
he
may
be
exalted.
Even
so.
Amen.
115 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
if
my
servant
Robert
D.
Foster
will
obey
my
voice,
let
him
build
a
house
for
my
servant
Joseph,
according
to
the
contract
which
he
has
made
with
him,
as
the
door
shall
be
open
to
him
from
time
to
time.
116 And
let
him
repent
of
all
his
a
folly,
and
clothe
himself
with
b
charity;
and
c
cease
to
do
evil,
and
lay
aside
all
his
hard
d
speeches;
117 And
pay
stock
also
into
the
hands
of
the
quorum
of
the
Nauvoo
House,
for
himself
and
for
his
generation
after
him,
from
generation
to
generation;
118 And
hearken
unto
the
counsel
of
my
servants
Joseph,
and
Hyrum,
and
William
Law,
and
unto
the
authorities
which
I
have
called
to
lay
the
foundation
of
Zion;
and
it
shall
be
well
with
him
forever
and
ever.
Even
so.
Amen.
119 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
let
no
man
pay
stock
to
the
quorum
of
the
Nauvoo
House
unless
he
shall
be
a
believer
in
the
Book
of
Mormon,
and
the
revelations
I
have
given
unto
you,
saith
the
Lord
your
God;
120 For
that
which
is
a
more
or
less
than
this
cometh
of
evil,
and
shall
be
attended
with
cursings
and
not
blessings,
saith
the
Lord
your
God.
Even
so.
Amen.
121 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
let
the
quorum
of
the
Nauvoo
House
have
a
just
recompense
of
wages
for
all
their
labors
which
they
do
in
building
the
Nauvoo
House;
and
let
their
wages
be
as
shall
be
agreed
among
themselves,
as
pertaining
to
the
price
thereof.
122 And
let
every
man
who
pays
stock
bear
his
proportion
of
their
wages,
if
it
must
needs
be,
for
their
support,
saith
the
Lord;
otherwise,
their
labors
shall
be
accounted
unto
them
for
stock
in
that
house.
Even
so.
Amen.
123 Verily
I
say
unto
you,
I
now
give
unto
you
the
a
officers
belonging
to
my
Priesthood,
that
ye
may
hold
the
b
keys
thereof,
even
the
Priesthood
which
is
after
the
order
of
Melchizedek,
which
is
after
the
order
of
mine
c
Only
Begotten
Son.
124 First,
I
give
unto
you
Hyrum
Smith
to
be
a
a
patriarch
unto
you,
to
hold
the
b
sealing
blessings
of
my
church,
even
the
Holy
Spirit
of
c
promise,
whereby
ye
are
d
sealed
up
unto
the
day
of
redemption,
that
ye
may
not
fall
notwithstanding
the
e
hour
of
temptation
that
may
come
upon
you.
125 I
give
unto
you
my
servant
Joseph
to
be
a
presiding
elder
over
all
my
church,
to
be
a
translator,
a
revelator,
a
a
seer,
and
prophet.
126 I
give
unto
him
for
a
counselors
my
servant
Sidney
Rigdon
and
my
servant
William
Law,
that
these
may
constitute
a
quorum
and
First
Presidency,
to
receive
the
b
oracles
for
the
whole
church.
127 I
give
unto
you
my
servant
a
Brigham
Young
to
be
a
president
over
the
Twelve
traveling
council;
128 Which
a
Twelve
hold
the
keys
to
open
up
the
authority
of
my
kingdom
upon
the
four
corners
of
the
earth,
and
after
that
to
send
my
word
to
every
b
creature.

Wilford
Woodruff,
Willard
Richards,
George
A.
Smith;
130 David
Patten
I
have
a
taken
unto
myself;
behold,
his
b
priesthood
no
man
c
taketh
from
him;
but,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
another
may
be
appointed
unto
the
same
calling.
131 And
again,
I
say
unto
you,
I
give
unto
you
a
a
high
council,
for
the
cornerstone
of
Zion—
132 Namely,
Samuel
Bent,
Henry
G.
Sherwood,
George
W.
Harris,
Charles
C.
Rich,
Thomas
Grover,
Newel
Knight,
David
Dort,
Dunbar
Wilson—Seymour
Brunson
I
have
taken
unto
myself;
no
man
taketh
his
priesthood,
but
another
may
be
appointed
unto
the
same
priesthood
in
his
stead;
and
verily
I
say
unto
you,
let
my
servant
Aaron
Johnson
be
ordained
unto
this
calling
in
his
stead—David
Fullmer,
Alpheus
Cutler,
William
Huntington.
133 And
again,
I
give
unto
you
Don
C.
Smith
to
be
a
president
over
a
quorum
of
high
priests;
134 Which
ordinance
is
instituted
for
the
purpose
of
qualifying
those
who
shall
be
appointed
standing
presidents
or
servants
over
different
a
stakes
scattered
abroad;
135 And
they
may
travel
also
if
they
choose,
but
rather
be
ordained
for
standing
presidents;
this
is
the
office
of
their
calling,
saith
the
Lord
your
God.
136 I
give
unto
him
Amasa
Lyman
and
Noah
Packard
for
counselors,
that
they
may
preside
over
the
quorum
of
high
priests
of
my
church,
saith
the
Lord.
137 And
again,
I
say
unto
you,
I
give
unto
you
John
A.
Hicks,
Samuel
Williams,
and
Jesse
Baker,
which
priesthood
is
to
preside
over
the
quorum
of
a
elders,
which
quorum
is
instituted
for
standing
ministers;
nevertheless
they
may
travel,
yet
they
are
ordained
to
be
standing
ministers
to
my
church,
saith
the
Lord.
138 And
again,
I
give
unto
you
Joseph
Young,
Josiah
Butterfield,
Daniel
Miles,
Henry
Herriman,
Zera
Pulsipher,
Levi
Hancock,
James
Foster,
to
preside
over
the
quorum
of
a
seventies;
139 Which
quorum
is
instituted
for
a
traveling
elders
to
bear
record
of
my
name
in
all
the
world,
wherever
the
traveling
high
council,
mine
apostles,
shall
send
them
to
prepare
a
way
before
my
face.
140 The
difference
between
this
quorum
and
the
quorum
of
elders
is
that
one
is
to
travel
continually,
and
the
other
is
to
preside
over
the
churches
from
time
to
time;
the
one
has
the
responsibility
of
presiding
from
time
to
time,
and
the
other
has
no
responsibility
of
presiding,
saith
the
Lord
your
God.
141 And
again,
I
say
unto
you,
I
give
unto
you
Vinson
Knight,
Samuel
H.
Smith,
and
Shadrach
Roundy,
if
he
will
receive
it,
to
preside
over
the
a
bishopric;
a
knowledge
of
said
bishopric
is
given
unto
you
in
the
book
of
Doctrine
and
Covenants.
142 And
again,
I
say
unto
you,
Samuel
Rolfe
and
his
counselors
for
a
priests,
and
the
president
of
the
teachers
and
his
counselors,
and
also
the
president
of
the
deacons
and
his
counselors,
and
also
the
president
of
the
stake
and
his
counselors.
143 The
above
a
offices
I
have
given
unto
you,
and
the
keys
thereof,
for
helps
and
for
governments,
for
the
work
of
the
ministry
and
the
b
perfecting
of
my
saints.
144 And
a
commandment
I
give
unto
you,
that
you
should
fill
all
these
offices
and
a
approve
of
those
names
which
I
have
mentioned,
or
else
disapprove
of
them
at
my
general
conference;
145 And
that
ye
should
prepare
rooms
for
all
these
offices
in
my
a
house
when
you
build
it
unto
my
name,
saith
the
Lord
your
God.
Even
so.
Amen.
