Zion, and in the due time he shall be made a merchant unto my name,
saith the Lord, for the benefit of my people;
15. Therefore let no man despise my servant Oliver Granger, but let
the blessings of my people be on him for ever and ever.
16. And again, verily I say unto you, let all my servants in the
land of Kirtland remember the Lord their God, and mine house also,
to keep and preserve it holy, and to overthrow the money changers
in mine own due time, saith the Lord. Even so. Amen.

1. Verily, thus saith the Lord, let a conference be held
immediately, let the Twelve be organized, and let men be appointed
to supply the place of those who are fallen.
2. Let my servant Thomas remain for a season in the land of Zion,
to publish my word.
3. Let the residue continue to preach from that hour, and if they
will do this in all lowliness of heart, in meekness and humility,
and long-suffering, I, the Lord, give unto them a promise that I
will provide for their families, and an effectual door shall be
opened for them, from henceforth;
4. And next spring let them depart to go over the great waters, and
there promulgate my gospel, the fullness thereof, and bear record
of my name.
5. Let them take leave of my Saints in the city Far West, on the
{47} 26th day of April next, on the building spot of my house,
saith the Lord.
6. Let my servant John Taylor, and also my servant John E. Page,
also my servant Wilford Woodruff, and also my servant Willard
Richards, be appointed to fill the places of those who have fallen,
and be officially notified of their appointment.
