Elder M. Holms & myself was called upon by the
Presidents to come fore ward to be ordained as mem-

Seventy was chosen out of the CAMP that
Went up to Zion for the redemption of it & the
Saints in the spring of 1834 But as we were not

was afterwards chosen in the second quorum

pronounced great blessings upon my head by the
spirit of Prophecy & Revelation some of them
I will mention which are as follows. THAT my
enemies may confine me in prisions & chains &
that I would rend the prisions & chains in twain
