This society is to get instruction thro'
the order which God has established, thro' the
medium of those appointed to lead & I now
turn the Key to you in the name of God & this
society shall rejoice & knowledge & intelligence
shall flow down from this time—this is
the beginning of better days to this society.

word, but let kindness charity & love, crown
your works hence forward. dont envy sinners,
have mercy on them. God will destroy them
Let your labors be mostly confined to those
around you in your own circle; as far as
knowledge is concerned, it may extend to
all the world, but your administrations
should be confined to the circle of your
immediate accquaintance, & more
especially to the members of the society.

are authorised to appoint the different
offices as the circumstances shall require.

If any have a matter to reveal,
let it be in your own tongue, do not indul
ge too much in the gift of tongues, or the
devil will take advantage of the innocent.
You may speak in tongues for your own
comfort but I lay this down for a
rule that if any thing is taught by the
gift of tongues, it is not to be received
for doctrine.
