according to the law of God. He
answered, that he had not faith enough
to start on a mission through Jackson
county without money, and if I did it,
I must do it on my own faith. I felt
strenuous to keep the commandments,
so I started without money. I called
upon Elder Harry Brown, and asked
him to accompany me; he consented,
and Bishop Partridge appointed him
to go with me.

Jan. 13, 1835—I received an honor-
able discharge from Lyman Wight,
certifying that I had faithfully per-
formed my duties in Zion's Camp.

I took my valise in hand, weighing
15 lbs., mostly Books of Mormon, and
started in company with Elder Harry
Brown, crossed the river into Jackson
county, and felt thankful. We bowed
our knees, and prayed that God might
protect us from the mob while going
through the country, and that his
judgments might rest upon the wicked
who had shed the blood of the Saints
in that land, that the land might be
cleansed from sin. I had a petition
to the Governor of Missouri, for re-
dress of wrongs perpetrated upon us
in Jackson county, for the purpose of
obtaining signatures. We bent our
way south, through Jackson county,
without any molestation; yet, in one
instance, we were preserved from a
mob of about sixty, assembled at a
grog-shop which we had to pass.
