D&C 96
Behold,
I
say
unto
you,
here
is
wisdom,
whereby
ye
may
know
how
to
act
concerning
this
matter,
for
it
is
expedient
in
me
that
this
a
stake
that
I
have
set
for
the
strength
of
Zion
should
be
made
strong.
2 Therefore,
let
my
servant
a
Newel
K.
a
Whitney
take
charge
of
the
place
which
is
named
among
you,
upon
which
I
design
to
build
mine
b
holy
house.
3 And
again,
let
it
be
divided
into
lots,
according
to
wisdom,
for
the
benefit
of
those
who
seek
a
inheritances,
as
it
shall
be
determined
in
council
among
you.
4 Therefore,
take
heed
that
ye
see
to
this
matter,
and
that
portion
that
is
necessary
to
benefit
mine
a
order,
for
the
purpose
of
bringing
forth
my
word
to
the
children
of
men.
5 For
behold,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
this
is
the
most
expedient
in
me,
that
my
word
should
go
forth
unto
the
children
of
men,
for
the
purpose
of
subduing
the
hearts
of
the
children
of
men
for
your
good.
Even
so.
Amen.
6 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
it
is
wisdom
and
expedient
in
me,
that
my
servant
a
John
Johnson
whose
offering
I
have
accepted,
and
whose
prayers
I
have
heard,
unto
whom
I
give
a
promise
of
eternal
life
inasmuch
as
he
keepeth
my
commandments
from
henceforth—
7 For
he
is
a
descendant
of
a
Joseph
and
a
partaker
of
the
blessings
of
the
promise
made
unto
his
fathers—
8 Verily
I
say
unto
you,
it
is
expedient
in
me
that
he
should
become
a
member
of
the
a
order,
that
he
may
assist
in
bringing
forth
my
word
unto
the
children
of
men.
9 Therefore
ye
shall
ordain
him
unto
this
blessing,
and
he
shall
seek
diligently
to
take
away
a
incumbrances
that
are
upon
the
house
named
among
you,
that
he
may
dwell
therein.
Even
so.
Amen.
