8. And he sinned, nevertheless, I forgive him, and say unto him
again, Go ye into the south countries,
9. And let my servant Luke Johnson go with him and proclaim the
things which I have commanded them,
10. Calling on the name of the Lord for the Comforter, which shall
teach them all things that are expedient for them,
11. Praying always that they faint not, and inasmuch as they do
this, I will be with them even unto the end.
12. Behold, this is the will of the Lord your God concerning you.
Even so. Amen.
13. And again, verily thus saith the Lord, let my servant Orson
Hyde, {244} and my servant Samuel H. Smith, take their journey
into the eastern countries, and proclaim the things which I have
commanded them; and inasmuch as they are faithful, lo, I will be
with them even unto the end.
14. And again, verily I say unto my servant Lyman Johnson, and unto
my servant Orson Pratt, they shall also take their journey into the
eastern countries; and behold, and lo, I am with them also, even
unto the end.
15. And again, I say unto my servant Asa Dodds, and unto my servant
Calves Wilson, that they also shall take their journey unto the
western countries, and proclaim my Gospel, even as I have commanded
them.

lifted up at the last day.

Burr Riggs, let them take their journey also into the south country;
18. Yea, let all those take their journey, as I have commanded
them, going from house to house, and from village to village, and
from city to city;
19. And in whatsoever house ye enter, and they receive you, leave
your blessing upon that house;
20. And in whatsoever house ye enter, and they receive you not, ye
shall depart speedily from that house, and shake off the dust of
your feet as a testimony against them;
21. And you shall be filled with joy and gladness; and know this,
that in the day of judgment you shall be judges of that house, and
condemn them;
22. And it shall be more tolerable for the heathen in the day of
judgment, than for that house; therefore gird up your loins and be
faithful, and ye shall overcome all things, and be lifted up at the
last day. Even so. Amen.
23. And again, thus saith the Lord unto you, O ye Elders of my
Church, who have given your names that you might know His will
concerning you;
24. Behold, I say unto you, that it is the duty of the Church to
assist in supporting the families of those, and also to support the
families of those who are called and must needs be sent unto the
world to proclaim the Gospel unto the world;
