10. Behold, I say unto you that you shall be a physician unto the
Church, but not unto the world, for they will not receive you.
11. Go your way withersoever I will, and it shall be given you by
the Comforter what you shall do, and whither you shall go.
12. Pray always lest you enter into temptation, and lose your
reward.
13. Be faithful unto the end, and lo, I am with you. These words
are not of man, nor of men, but of me, even Jesus Christ, your
Redeemer, by the will of the Father. Amen. [8]
{118} [Sidenote: Satisfactory Results of the Conference.]
During this conference, which continued three days, the utmost harmony
prevailed, and all things were settled satisfactorily to all present,
and a desire was manifested by all the Saints to go forward and labor
with all their powers to spread the great and glorious principles of
truth, which had been revealed by our Heavenly Father. A number were
baptized during the conference, and the word of the Lord spread and
prevailed.
[Sidenote: Mission to the Lamanites.]
At this time a great desire was manifested by several of the Elders
respecting the remnants of the house of Joseph, the Lamanites, residing
in the west--knowing [9] that the purposes of God were great respecting
that people, and hoping that the time had come when the promises of the
Almighty in regard to them were about to be accomplished, and that they
would receive the Gospel, and enjoy its blessings. The desire being
so great, it was agreed that we should inquire of the Lord respecting
the propriety of sending some of the Elders [10] among them, which we
accordingly did, and received the following:
_Revelation to Parley P. Pratt and Ziba Peterson, given October,
1830._ [11]
1. And now concerning my servant Parley P. Pratt, [12] behold I
say {119} unto him that as I live, I will that he shall declare my
Gospel and learn of me and be meek and lowly of heart;
2. And that which I have appointed unto him is, that he shall go
with my servants Older Cowdery and Peter Whitmer, Jun., into the
wilderness among the Lamanites.
3. And Ziba Peterson, also, shall go with them, and I myself will
go with them and be in their midst; and I am their advocate with
the Father, and nothing shall prevail against them.
{120} 4. And they shall give heed to that which is written and
pretend to no other revelation, and they shall pray always that I
may unfold the same to their understanding;
5. And they shall give heed unto these words and trifle not, and I
will bless them. Amen.
