Smith ^jr declare in the presence of F Williams,
D Whitmer, S. Smith, W. Parrish, & others in the
Deposit office that he had receieved that
morning the word of the Lord upon the subject of
the Kirtland Safety Society he was alone in a
room by himself & he had not ownly the voice
of the spirit upon the subject but even an
audable voice. He did not tell us at ^that^ time what
the LORD said upon the subject but remarked
that if we would give heed to the commandments
the Lord had given this morning all would be
well. May the Lord bless Brother Joseph with

become the greatest of all institutions on EARTH
