A Revelation to <​ concerning the of the Lord​> given in , O. July 23, 1837.

1 Verily thus saith the Lord unto you, my servant , I have heard thy prayers, and thine alms have come up <​as a memorial​> before me, in behalf of those thy brethren who were chosen to bear testimony of my name and to send it abroad among all nations, kindreds, tongues and people—and ordained through the instrumentality of my servents.

2 Verily I say unto you, there has been some few things in thine heart, and with thee, with which I the Lord was not well pleased; nevertheless inasmuch as thou hast abased thyself thou shalt be exalted: therefore <​all​> thy sins are forgiven thee.

3 Let thy heart be of good cheer before my face, and thou shalt bear record of my name, not only before unto the , but also unto the Jews; and thou shalt send forth my word unto the ends of the earth. Contend thou, therefore, morning by morning; and day after day let thy warning voice go forth; and when the night cometh let not the inhabitants of the earth slumber because of thy speech.

4 Let thy habitation be known in , and remove not thy house, for I the Lord have a great work for thee to do, in publishing my name among the children of men: therefore gird up thy loins for the work. Let thy feet be shod, also, for thou art chosen, and thy path lieth among the mountains, and among many nations; and by thy word many high ones shall be brought low; and by thy word many low ones shall be exalted. Thy voice shall be a rebuke unto the transgressor; and at thy rebuke let the tongue of the slanderer cease its perverseness.

5 Be thou humble and the Lord thy God shall lead thee by thy hand and give the answer to thy prayers. Be patient I know thy heart and have heard thy prayers [p. [1]]
