D&C 52
Behold,
thus
saith
the
Lord
unto
the
elders
whom
he
hath
called
and
chosen
in
these
last
days,
by
the
a
voice
of
his
Spirit—
2 Saying:
I,
the
Lord,
will
make
known
unto
you
what
I
will
that
ye
shall
do
from
this
time
until
the
next
conference,
which
shall
be
held
in
Missouri,
upon
the
a
land
which
I
will
b
consecrate
unto
my
people,
which
are
a
c
remnant
of
Jacob,
and
those
who
are
heirs
according
to
the
d
covenant.
3 Wherefore,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
let
my
servants
Joseph
Smith,
Jun.,
and
Sidney
Rigdon
take
their
journey
as
soon
as
preparations
can
be
made
to
leave
their
homes,
and
journey
to
the
land
of
a
Missouri.
4 And
inasmuch
as
they
are
faithful
unto
me,
it
shall
be
made
known
unto
them
what
they
shall
do;
5 And
it
shall
also,
inasmuch
as
they
are
faithful,
be
made
a
known
unto
them
the
b
land
of
your
inheritance.
6 And
inasmuch
as
they
are
not
faithful,
they
shall
be
cut
off,
even
as
I
will,
as
seemeth
me
good.
7 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
let
my
servant
Lyman
Wight
and
my
servant
John
Corrill
take
their
journey
speedily;
8 And
also
my
servant
John
Murdock,
and
my
servant
Hyrum
Smith,
take
their
journey
unto
the
same
place
by
the
way
of
Detroit.
9 And
let
them
journey
from
thence
preaching
the
word
by
the
way,
saying
a
none
other
things
than
that
which
the
b
prophets
and
apostles
have
written,
and
that
which
is
taught
them
by
the
c
Comforter
through
the
prayer
of
faith.
10 Let
them
go
a
two
by
two,
and
thus
let
them
preach
by
the
way
in
every
congregation,
baptizing
by
b
water,
and
the
laying
on
of
the
c
hands
by
the
water's
side.
11 For
thus
saith
the
Lord,
I
will
cut
my
work
short
in
a
righteousness,
for
the
days
come
that
I
will
send
forth
b
judgment
unto
victory.
12 And
let
my
servant
Lyman
Wight
beware,
for
Satan
desireth
to
a
sift
him
as
chaff.
13 And
behold,
he
that
is
a
faithful
shall
be
made
ruler
over
many
things.
14 And
again,
I
will
give
unto
you
a
pattern
in
all
things,
that
ye
may
not
be
deceived;
for
Satan
is
abroad
in
the
land,
and
he
goeth
forth
a
deceiving
the
nations—
15 Wherefore
he
that
prayeth,
whose
spirit
is
a
contrite,
the
same
is
b
accepted
of
me
if
he
obey
mine
c
ordinances.
16 He
that
a
speaketh,
whose
spirit
is
contrite,
whose
language
is
meek
and
b
edifieth,
the
same
is
of
God
if
he
obey
mine
ordinances.
17 And
again,
he
that
trembleth
under
my
power
shall
be
made
a
strong,
and
shall
bring
forth
fruits
of
praise
and
b
wisdom,
according
to
the
revelations
and
truths
which
I
have
given
you.
18 And
again,
he
that
is
overcome
and
a
bringeth
not
forth
fruits,
even
according
to
this
pattern,
is
not
of
me.
19 Wherefore,
by
this
pattern
ye
shall
a
know
the
spirits
in
all
cases
under
the
whole
heavens.
20 And
the
days
have
come;
according
to
men's
faith
it
shall
be
a
done
unto
them.
21 Behold,
this
commandment
is
given
unto
all
the
elders
whom
I
have
chosen.
22 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
let
my
servant
a
Thomas
B.
Marsh
and
my
servant
b
Ezra
Thayre
take
their
journey
also,
preaching
the
word
by
the
way
unto
this
same
land.
23 And
again,
let
my
servant
Isaac
Morley
and
my
servant
Ezra
Booth
take
their
journey,
also
preaching
the
word
by
the
way
unto
this
same
land.
24 And
again,
let
my
servants
a
Edward
Partridge
and
Martin
Harris
take
their
journey
with
my
servants
Sidney
Rigdon
and
Joseph
Smith,
Jun.
25 Let
my
servants
David
Whitmer
and
Harvey
Whitlock
also
take
their
journey,
and
preach
by
the
way
unto
this
same
land.
26 And
let
my
servants
a
Parley
P.
Pratt
and
b
Orson
Pratt
take
their
journey,
and
preach
by
the
way,
even
unto
this
same
land.
27 And
let
my
servants
Solomon
Hancock
and
Simeon
Carter
also
take
their
journey
unto
this
same
land,
and
preach
by
the
way.
28 Let
my
servants
Edson
Fuller
and
Jacob
Scott
also
take
their
journey.
29 Let
my
servants
Levi
W.
Hancock
and
Zebedee
Coltrin
also
take
their
journey.
30 Let
my
servants
Reynolds
Cahoon
and
Samuel
H.
Smith
also
take
their
journey.
31 Let
my
servants
Wheeler
Baldwin
and
William
Carter
also
take
their
journey.
32 And
let
my
servants
a
Newel
Knight
and
b
Selah
J.
Griffin
both
be
ordained,
and
also
take
their
journey.
33 Yea,
verily
I
say,
let
all
these
take
their
journey
unto
one
place,
in
their
several
courses,
and
one
man
shall
not
build
upon
another's
a
foundation,
neither
journey
in
another's
track.
34 He
that
is
faithful,
the
same
shall
be
kept
and
blessed
with
much
a
fruit.
35 And
again,
I
say
unto
you,
let
my
servants
Joseph
Wakefield
and
Solomon
Humphrey
take
their
journey
into
the
eastern
lands;
36 Let
them
labor
with
their
families,
a
declaring
none
other
things
than
the
prophets
and
apostles,
that
which
they
have
b
seen
and
heard
and
most
assuredly
c
believe,
that
the
prophecies
may
be
fulfilled.
37 In
consequence
of
transgression,
let
that
which
was
bestowed
upon
Heman
Basset
be
a
taken
from
him,
and
placed
upon
the
head
of
Simonds
Ryder.
38 And
again,
verily
I
say
unto
you,
let
Jared
Carter
be
a
ordained
a
priest,
and
also
George
James
be
ordained
a
b
priest.
39 Let
the
residue
of
the
elders
a
watch
over
the
churches,
and
declare
the
word
in
the
regions
round
about
them;
and
let
them
b
labor
with
their
own
hands
that
there
be
no
c
idolatry
nor
wickedness
practiced.
40 And
remember
in
all
things
the
a
poor
and
the
b
needy,
the
c
sick
and
the
afflicted,
for
he
that
doeth
not
these
things,
the
same
is
not
my
disciple.
41 And
again,
let
my
servants
Joseph
Smith,
Jun.,
and
Sidney
Rigdon
and
Edward
Partridge
take
with
them
a
a
recommend
from
the
church.
And
let
there
be
one
obtained
for
my
servant
Oliver
Cowdery
also.
42 And
thus,
even
as
I
have
said,
if
ye
are
faithful
ye
shall
assemble
yourselves
together
to
rejoice
upon
the
land
of
a
Missouri,
which
is
the
land
of
your
b
inheritance,
which
is
now
the
land
of
your
enemies.
43 But,
behold,
I,
the
Lord,
will
hasten
the
city
in
its
time,
and
will
crown
the
faithful
with
a
joy
and
with
rejoicing.
44 Behold,
I
am
Jesus
Christ,
the
Son
of
God,
and
I
will
a
lift
them
up
at
the
last
day.
Even
so.
Amen.
