21. For ye are the church of the Firstborn, and He will take you up
in a cloud, and appoint every man his portion.
22. And he that is a faithful and wise steward shall inherit all
things. Amen.
_Revelation, given March, 1832_. [13]
1. Verily I say unto you, that it is my will that my servant Jared
Carter should go again into the eastern countries, from place
to place, and from city to city, in the power of the ordination
wherewith he has been ordained, proclaiming glad tidings of great
joy, even the everlasting Gospel;
2. And I will send upon him the Comforter, which shall teach him
the truth and the way whither he shall go;
3. And inasmuch as he is faithful, I will crown him again with
sheaves;
4. Wherefore, let your heart be glad, my servant Jared Carter, and
fear not, saith your Lord, even Jesus Christ. Amen.
_Revelation, given March, 1832_. [14]
1. Verily, thus saith the Lord, unto you my servant, Stephen
Burnett, Go ye, go ye into the world and preach the Gospel to every
creature that cometh under the sound of your voice;
2. And inasmuch as you desire a companion, I will give unto you my
servant Eden Smith;
3. Wherefore, go ye and preach my Gospel, whether to the north or
to the south, to the east or to the west, it mattereth not, for ye
cannot go amiss;
4. Therefore, declare the things which ye have heard and verily
believe, and know to be true.
5. Behold, this is the will of Him who hath called you, your
Redeemer, even Jesus Christ. Amen.
_Revelation, given March, 1832_. [15]
1. Verily, verily I say unto you my servant Frederick G. Williams,
{258} listen to the voice of Him who speaketh, to the word of the
Lord your God, and hearken to the calling wherewith you are called,
even to be a High Priest in my Church, and a counselor unto my
servant Joseph Smith, Jun.,
2. Unto whom I have given the keys of the kingdom, which belong
always unto the Presidency of the High Priesthood: [16]
3. Therefore, verily I acknowledge him and will bless him, and
also thee, inasmuch as thou art faithful in counsel, in the office
which I have appointed unto you, in prayer, always, vocally and
in thy heart, in public and in private, also in thy ministry in
proclaiming the Gospel in the land of the living, and among thy
brethren;
4. And in doing these things thou wilt do the greatest good unto
thy fellow beings, and wilt promote the glory of Him who is your
Lord;
5. Wherefore, be faithful, stand in the office which I have
appointed unto you, succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang
down, and strengthen the feeble knees;
6. And if thou art faithful unto the end, thou shalt have a crown
of immortality and eternal life in the mansions which I have
prepared in the house of my Father.
