confidence in him. Such angels are Saints with their resurrected
bodies.

But if a personage appears unto a man as an angel of
light and offers him his hand and the man when he essays to
take hold of the proffered hand feels nothing nor senses any substance
he may know that this is the Devil; for when a Saint whose
body is not resurrected appears unto a man in the flesh he will
not offer his hand for this would be against the law given
him. In keeping in mind such keys of knowledge we may
be enabled to detect the Devil that he deceive us not.

The following day I let the Bishops have my forty
acre lot in Far West Missouri. I deeded it to a man by the name
of Blesens in payment of the landing point four miles south of
the garrison in Montrose.

The time had now arrived for us who were appointed
to leave our families and the bosom of the Church and start upon
Our Mission to the Nations.

On the 2nd of July the Presidency—Joseph and
his Council came across the river to Montrose to spend the day

After dinner we all assembled for meeting

opened the meeting by prayer the Presidency laid their hands upon
my head and sealed a blessing upon me. President Rigdon
was the speaker in setting apart and blessing me. They also
set apart and blessed Elders George A Smith and Turley
Sisters Young and Taylor with my wife were likewise blessed

In our blessings for our mission to Europe
we received the promise that if we were faithful we should
