Autobiography Volume 1 circa 1842-1865
On the of this month I took charge of the Provision Store for the Committee of the Nauvoo House The next day about 200 Saints landed at Warsaw from England and there being a heavy snow storm I sympathized with them under the hard circumstances of their arrival The following Sunday was spent at Brigham Young's with the Twelve and Joseph conversing upon a variety of subjects. It was an interesting day Elder Joseph Fielding was present having been four years on mission to England. We also saw a number of the English brethren. Joseph the Prophet said that The Book of Mormon was the most correct as the word of God of any Book on Earth and that a man would get nearer to God by abiding in its precepts than by that of any other book. He said it is the key stone of our religion. Next Sunday with my wife and sister Kimball I spent a part of the day at brother Rushtons with a number of the Pottery Saints from Staffordshire. Indeed I was now in the midst of hundreds whom I had baptized in America the Islands of the Sea and in England and Wales who had now gathered to Nauvoo and I was occassionally receiving and paying them visits. Among these were Elders Kington Benbow Ockey Brewett Pitt and a number of others whose names are familiar in my history
