# The Doctrine and Covenants/Section 33

Revelation through Joseph Smith to Ezra Thayre and Northrop Sweet, Fayette, New York, October 1830. History of the Church 1:126-27.
$^1$ Behold, I say unto you, my servants Ezra and Northrop, open ye your ears and hearken to the voice of the Lord your God, whose word is quick and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword, to the dividing asunder of the joints and marrow, soul and spirit; and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
$^2$ For verily, verily, I say unto you that ye are called to lift up your voices as with the sound of a trump, to declare my gospel unto a crooked and perverse generation.
$^3$ For behold, the field is white already to harvest; and it is the eleventh hour, and the last time that I shall call laborers into my vineyard.
$^4$ And my vineyard has become corrupted every whit; and there is none which doeth good save it be a few; and they err in many instances because of priestcrafts, all having corrupt minds.
$^5$ And verily, verily, I say unto you, that this church have I established and called forth out of the wilderness.
$^6$ And even so will I gather mine elect from the four quarters of the earth, even as many as will believe in me, and hearken unto my voice.
$^7$ Yea, verily, verily, I say unto you, that the field is white already to harvest; wherefore, thrust in your sickles, and reap with all your might, mind, and strength.
$^8$ Open your mouths and they shall be filled, and you shall become even as Nephi of old, who journeyed from Jerusalem in the wilderness.
$^9$ Yea, open your mouths and spare not, and you shall be laden with sheaves upon your backs, for lo, I am with you.
$^{10}$ Yea, open your mouths and they shall be filled, saying: Repent, repent, and prepare ye the way of the Lord, and make his paths straight; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand;
$^{11}$ Yea, repent and be baptized, every one of you, for a remission of your sins; yea, be baptized even by water, and then cometh the baptism of fire and of the Holy Ghost.
$^{12}$ Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, this is my gospel; and remember that they shall have faith in me or they can in nowise be saved;
$^{13}$ And upon this rock I will build my church; yea, upon this rock ye are built, and if ye continue, the gates of hell shall not prevail against you.
$^{14}$ And ye shall remember the church articles and covenants to keep them.
$^{15}$ And whoso having faith you shall confirm in my church, by the laying on of the hands, and I will bestow the gift of the Holy Ghost upon them.
$^{16}$ And the Book of Mormon and the holy scriptures are given of me for your instruction; and the power of my Spirit quickeneth all things.
$^{17}$ Wherefore, be faithful, praying always, having your lamps trimmed and burning, and oil with you, that you may be ready at the coming of the Bridegroom
$^{18}$ For behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, that I come quickly. Even so. Amen.
# The Doctrine and Covenants/Section 28

Revelation through Joseph Smith to Oliver Cowdery, Fayette, New York, September 1830. History of the Church 1:109-11.
$^1$ Behold, I say unto thee, Oliver, that it shall be given unto thee that thou shalt be heard by the church in all things whatsoever thou shalt teach them by the Comforter, concerning the revelations and commandments which I have given.
$^2$ But, behold, verily, verily, I say unto thee, no one shall be appointed to receive commandments and revelations in this church excepting my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., for he receiveth them even as Moses.
$^3$ And thou shalt be obedient unto the things which I shall give unto him, even as Aaron, to declare faithfully the commandments and the revelations, with power and authority unto the church.
$^4$ And if thou art led at any time by the Comforter to speak or teach, or at all times by the way of commandment unto the church, thou mayest do it.
$^5$ But thou shalt not write by way of commandment, but by wisdom;
$^6$ And thou shalt not command him who is at thy head, and at the head of the church;
$^7$ For I have given him the keys of the mysteries, and the revelations which are sealed, until I shall appoint unto them another in his stead.
$^8$ And now, behold, I say unto you that you shall go unto the Lamanites and preach my gospel unto them; and inasmuch as they receive thy teachings thou shalt cause my church to be established among them; and thou shalt have revelations, but write them not by way of commandment.
$^9$ And now, behold, I say unto you that it is not revealed, and no man knoweth where the city Zion shall be built, but it shall be given hereafter. Behold, I say unto you that it shall be on the borders by the Lamanites.
$^{10}$ Thou shalt not leave this place until after the conference; and my servant Joseph shall be appointed to preside over the conference by the voice of it, and what he saith to thee thou shalt tell.
$^{11}$ And again, thou shalt take thy brother, Hiram Page, between him and thee alone, and tell him that those things which he hath written from that stone are not of me and that Satan deceiveth him;
$^{12}$ For, behold, these things have not been appointed unto him, neither shall anything be appointed unto any of this church contrary to the church covenants.
$^{13}$ For all things must be done in order, and by common consent in the church, by the prayer of faith.
$^{14}$ And thou shalt assist to settle all these things, according to the covenants of the church, before thou shalt take thy journey among the Lamanites.
$^{15}$ And it shall be given thee from the time thou shalt go, until the time thou shalt return, what thou shalt do.
$^{16}$ And thou must open thy mouth at all times, declaring my gospel with the sound of rejoicing. Amen.
# The Doctrine and Covenants/Section 34

Revelation through Joseph Smith to Orson Pratt, Fayette, New York, November 4, 1830. History of the Church 1:127-28.
$^1$ My son Orson, hearken and hear and behold what I, the Lord God, shall say unto you, even Jesus Christ your Redeemer;
$^2$ The light and the life of the world, a light which shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehendeth it not;
$^3$ Who so loved the world that he gave his own life, that as many as would believe might become the sons of God. Wherefore you are my son;
$^4$ And blessed are you because you have believed;
$^5$ And more blessed are you because you are called of me to preach my gospel
$^6$ To lift up your voice as with the sound of a trump, both long and loud, and cry repentance unto a crooked and perverse generation, preparing the way of the Lord for his second coming.
$^7$ For behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, the time is soon at hand that I shall come in a cloud with power and great glory.
$^8$ And it shall be a great day at the time of my coming, for all nations shall tremble.
$^9$ But before that great day shall come, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon be turned into blood; and the stars shall refuse their shining, and some shall fall, and great destructions await the wicked.
$^{10}$ Wherefore, lift up your voice and spare not, for the Lord God hath spoken; therefore prophesy, and it shall be given by the power of the Holy Ghost.
$^{11}$ And if you are faithful, behold, I am with you until I come
$^{12}$ And verily, verily, I say unto you, I come quickly. I am your Lord and your Redeemer. Even so. Amen.
# The Doctrine and Covenants/Section 26

Revelation to Joseph Smith, Oliver Cowdery, and John Whitmer, Harmony, Pennsylvania, July 1830. See History of the Church 1:104.
$^1$ Behold, I say unto you that you shall let your time be devoted to the studying of the scriptures, and to preaching, and to confirming the church at Colesville, and to performing your labors on the land, such as is required, until after you shall go to the west to hold the next conference; and then it shall be made known what you shall do.
$^2$ And all things shall be done by common consent in the church, by much prayer and faith, for all things you shall receive by faith. Amen.

# The Fables of Florian (tr. Phelps)/The Prince and the Nightingale

FABLE XII. THE PRINCE AND THE NIGHTINGALE.
A young prince and his tutor stray'd Through a grove for a promenade. There, as the time upon him hung  With heavy weight— (Such is the usage of the great), A bird beneath the foliage sung: It was the charming nightingale. Should not the princely rank avail To cage the bird without delay? But hunting through the leafy shade, So great the fracas that he made, The bird took fright and flew away.
"Why," said His Highness, in great wrath— "Why does this bird thus shun my path? Why does he choose this desert waste, While sparrows round my palace feast?"
His tutor answer'd:—"This will show What some day you will come to know; Fools crowd in plenty to be bought, While merit hides, and must be sought."
# The Fables of Florian (tr. Phelps)/The Shepherd and the Nightingale

FABLE XIV. THE SHEPHERD AND THE NIGHTINGALE.
One balmy night in charming May, As on a hill a shepherd lay, And from the sky with stars o'erspread, The moon her silv'ry radiance shed; While from the rose and lilacs there, Perfumes were filling all the air; While meadows all asleep and still, Were lull'd by murmurs of the rill, A nightingale with tender strain, Voic'd forth the peace of hill and plain, Which seem'd uprising to the skies, From Nature's sweetest harmonies. But in the fullness of that peace, Then all at once the warblings cease. The bird had ended her wild song, And would no more its strains prolong. The shepherd urged her, but in vain, To sing that witching song again. "No," said the bird, "my days are o'er; These scenes shall hear my voice no more.
For do you not, from yonder bogs, Hear the loud discord of those frogs, Who drown my music by their din, With which mine own cannot begin? Before their mastery I yield, And must forever quit the field." "Nay," said the shepherd, "that's the way To give those croakers their full sway. To silence you is what they want, And strive to do it by that rant. When I am hearing your sweet airs, I'm not e'en conscious then of theirs."
# The Fables of Florian (tr. Phelps)/The Sage Advice

FABLE XLI. THE SAGE ADVICE.
A flying-fish, tired of her lot, Unto her mother thus complain'd:— "You may be pleas'd, but I am not,
To live forever thus constrain'd.  I cannot leap into the air,  But what the eagle's waiting there. And if I dive into the sea, The dolphin there is after me." The dame replied in accents mild, "I've found in this strange world, my child,  And now must let you know, For medium folks as you and I, We should not ever soar too high,  Nor ever dive too low."
# The Fables of Florian (tr. Phelps)/The Persecuted Poodle

FABLE XLVI. THE PERSECUTED POODLE.
A shaggy poodle being shorn So as to have a lion's mane, Could hardly longer well be borne, He so conceited was and vain; For vanity will sure deceive
All who her flattery receive. We on this head a story know. It came to pass, not long ago. That after long and bloody strife, Where many a lion lost his life, The elephant the victor was, Who thereupon decreed these laws:— That brawls and blood-shed to prevent, All into exile must be sent Who civil war and strife foment; And never more should lions come Within his realms to make their home. The lions, overcome, subdu'd, And by their enemies pursu'd, Were hunted down on ev'ry hand, And forc'd to fly and leave the land. Their fate admitted no relief; But still they made the best of it. They kept their courage with their grief, And learn'd in patience to submit. But with our poodle 'twas not so: The dread decree fill'd him with woe. "Oh, am I then," he moaning cried, "No longer suffer'd here to dwell? Must I in other lands reside, Far from the scenes I've lov'd so well?  And in my old age too! Oh barb'rous king to drive me forth From this dear spot that gave me birth,  Which I no more shall view!
I go unaided and in gloom, In foreign lands to seek a tomb; And even that may be denied! And all to please this tyrant's pride, Who only thus is satisfied!" A spaniel heard the pug complain, And touch'd at heart with so much pain, Ask'd why he felt obliged to fly. "Why?" said the pug, "do you ask why? Just look and see that hard decree, How cruel and severe on me!"  The spaniel cried:— "That law with lions has to do; But what concern is that to you?"  The pug replied:— "Why, am not I a lion too?"
# The Fables of Florian (tr. Phelps)/The Philosopher and the Owl

FABLE XXVII. THE PHILOSOPHER AND THE OWL.
Wrong'd, persecuted, and proscrib'd, In foreign lands compell'd to hide, For calling things by their right name, A sage took with him all his wealth— (His wisdom)—which he kept by stealth,  And to a friendly forest came.
There, while pond'ring o'er his woes, He saw an owl beset by foes— An angry crowd of jays and crows. They peck'd him, curs'd him, call'd him sot, And said he was no patriot. "Let's pluck him," said they, "of his plumes— This rascal who such wit assumes!" "Let's hang him," said the wrathful birds, "And judge the villain afterwards!"
In vain the owl implor'd for peace, And call'd on them their rage to cease. The sage was touch'd to see the owl Assail'd by words and deeds so foul (For wisdom always makes the mind To peace and gentleness inclin'd). He quell'd the rage, and ask'd the bird Why such a mob was 'gainst him stirr'd. "Wherefore," said he, "is all this strife? Why do these foes thus seek your life?" "My only crime," the owl replied, "Is one which they cannot abide; The reason why I've rous'd their spite, Is simply this—I see by night."
# The Fables of Florian (tr. Phelps)/The Rope Dancer

FABLE XXIII. THE ROPE-DANCER.
A young man on the tight-rope danc'd  With balance-pole in hand; Sway'd to and fro, fell back, advanc'd,  Or bolt up straight would stand. A crowd of persons came to see, His feats of bold agility. Now up he goes, then down again, All free and easy, light and spry; Rebounding from the tight rope's strain, In cadence with it springing high.
THE ROPE DANCER.
As birds that o'er the water go, But barely touch it with the wing, So he but seem'd to press the toe Upon the quick-responding string.
Of these exploits grown proud at length, He said one day:—"Why use this pole? It weighs me down, impairs my strength, Embarrasses my free control— More grace I'd have and freer play If I should throw the thing away."  No sooner said than done. But once his pole was thrown aside, And his new dancing had begun, With arms outstretch'd and awkward stride, He waver'd, lost his balance, fell, Broke his nose, and all the crowd At his tumble laughed aloud.
My dear young friends! you know full well That he who has no check at all, Must soon or later have a fall. Though reason, virtue, rule, and law Against young inclinations draw  Like a check-rein, Your fiery passions to restrain; They are the needed balance-pole, To keep your fame and fortune whole.
# The Fables of Florian (tr. Phelps)/The Squirrel, the Dog, and the Fox

FABLE XLVIII. THE SQUIRREL, THE DOG, AND THE FOX.
A dog and squirrel hand in hand, Where one time trav'ling through the land, When they were caught as night came down, In a large forest far from town. No friendly inn was there t'afford
Its hospitable bed and board. So in an old and hollow tree,  The dog for shelter search'd, While his good friend, the squirrel, he  Among the branches perch'd. Towards midnight, at that solemn hour When to their crimes sly murd'rers creep, When somnolence asserts its power, And our two friends were sunk in sleep, Lo! an old fox athirst for blood, Came prowling through the silent wood. He saw the squirrel on a limb,  And thus accosted him:— "My friend, I pray you pardon me, I would not so intrusive be As to disturb your sweet repose, But that I'm dying to disclose My true heart-felt felicity  To find that you and I In blood relationship are nigh: We're cousins of the first degree! For your good mother, I've heard said, Was sister to my worthy sire, Who bade me, on his dying bed, For you, his nephew, to inquire, And give you half the legacy  He left for me. So haste, my friend, come down I pray, And have your portion right away. I burn to meet you face to face,
More fully to explain the case. If I, like you, could climb a tree, Indeed, you well may credit me, I had been with you long ere this, To show how great my pleasure is." Now squirrels though not bred in schools. Are not by any means all fools; And ours was shrewd enough to see Quite through the fox's knavery. So he replied in tones most kind:— "I am delighted, friend, to find That we so near related are. Your happiness I fully share; And I shall hurry to descend. But ere I come I have a friend That I would introduce to you. He is a near relation too: One who is all in all to me, Whom you'll be glad, perhaps, to see; He's sleeping in that hole below; Knock at the door and call him out: He'll warmly welcome you, I know, On learning what you've come about." Old Reynard hurries to the door, Hoping to get one squirrel more; But on the instant that he knocks, The dog, awak'd from slumbers sound, Springs out, and at a single bound, Upon the spot kills Mister Fox.
The offices of a true friend
May not alone our life defend; No greater blessing can there be, Than solace from his sympathy.
# The Fables of Florian (tr. Phelps)/The Three Fortune Seekers

FABLE XLV. THREE FORTUNE-SEEKERS.
An ermine, beaver, and young boar, Who had no fortune 'neath the sun, But who had hopes of getting one, Set out the country to explore. At last, their many trials o'er, They reach'd a most delightful land,
Where beauties shone on ev'ry hand,
In wealth of meadows, orchards, woods,
And all the treasures of the floods.
Our pilgrims seeing scenes so fair,
Were in a perfect ecstasy,
As Æneas and his Trojans were,
With their first view of Italy.
But all this happy land, alas!
Lay circled by a black morass.
Where frightful lizards, snakes, and toads
Were wont to make their foul abodes.
Brought to a stop, they take a view,
And ponder what they're next to do.
The ermine trying with her paw,
Decides at once that she'll withdraw.
"My friends," said she, "take my advice,
This land is not so very nice.
To reach it we must cross the slough,
And that my coat would ruin so,
 That I should die.
Some other country let us try."
"Have patience, dear," the beaver said;
"These things require a little head.
We need not always get a stain,
In coming at the point we'd gain. As I'm a mason, I can throw,
In fifteen days o'er this foul slough
A bridge by which we can pass o'er,
And harmless reach the farther shore."
"In fifteen days!" exclaim'd the boar;
"The thing much sooner can be done; I'll show you how in less than one." Then in he leaps into the slime, Amidst the lizards, toads, and snakes; Most lustily his way he makes, And flounders over in short time. Arriv'd upon the other side, He shook the mud off from his hide, And then with pompous, proud display, Back to his friends this scorn he hurl'd:— "If you would prosper in this world, You must, as I've done, push your way."
# The Fables of Florian (tr. Phelps)/The Three Rivals

FABLE III. THE THREE RIVALS.
Once on a time rose fierce disputes Between three very gentle brutes—  The ox, the horse, and ass. Their overweening pride, alas! As oft with men of seeming sense, Led them to strive for precedence. Perhaps, my friend, you may deride The thought of asses having pride; But are not others sometimes vain, And aim at rank they can't attain?
The patient ox with humble mien, Describ'd what worker he had been;  How great his strength;  And then at length Dwelt on his great docility. The courser boasted of his worth, His noble carriage and his birth; The ass of his utility. "Let's leave the question to three men; For here they come," exclaimed the horse; "If two decide for one, why then We'll yield the palm to him of course." The ox, who bore an honest face, Was charged to plainly state the case,  And ask for judgment thereupon. One of the men a jockey was, And therefore plead the horse's cause,  Because the horse could run. "Nay, nay, my friend, it is not so," One of the men—a cartman—said, "The horse is only fit for show; I put the useful ass ahead." "Oh, what great folly!" said the third, "Whoever falser notions heard? 'Tis plain to farmers of good sense, The ox should have the preference." "What!" said the courser in a huff, "Judgment like this is merest stuff! 'Tis interest that rules with you." "Pooh!" said the jockey, "that is true; But is it something strange or new?"
# The Fables of Florian (tr. Phelps)/The Rhinoceros and the Dromedary

FABLE XIX. THE RHINOCEROS AND DROMEDARY.
One day a young rhinoceros  Thus address'd the dromedary:— "Can you, my friend, explain to us  Why our fortunes so much vary—
Why man the lord of all our race Always provides for you a place? He gives you shelter, food, and care; And e'en his bread with you will share. By him you are esteem'd so high, He seeks your race to multiply. You have good qualities, 'tis true; Are gentle, sober, never slack; You bear his burdens on your back,  His wife and children too:  All this I own; But are these merits yours alone? To us then, is there nothing due? In fact, I think, with due respect, We well might man's regards expect  As well as you. We furnish him with horn and shield To aid him on the battle-field. Yet he pursues us with his hate; Hunts us with rage insatiate; Despises us, or in his wrath, Impels us to avoid his path."
The dromedary made reply:— "Why envy us our lot, my friend? To serve is nothing; you must try To make man's pleasure your sole end. Be not surpris'd that he should show  Such favor to our progeny: The secret of it, you must know,  Is this:—we've learn'd to bend the knee."

Part of the Country Diary series.
A Country Diary.
November 4.
A thick green scum lies on the still water at the edge of the withered reed bed. It is late, for surely the "breaking of the meres" is a late summer occurrence; it is then, not November, that the algae, the phytoplankton, run riot, tinting the water with their profusion. As a rule in autumn the water is clear, for the abundance of diminutive animals which form the zooplankton are hyaline and almost colourless. Behind the reed bed is the brown bracken, deepening daily in colour, though the upper fronds are still yellow and even green; amongst them the campions persist in opening fresh flowers, replacing those which are bleaching to pale pink, and where the bramble tangle is covered with berries which have died without ripening there are a few white blossoms and flower-buds, fresh and green.
The trunks alike of birch, sycamore, oak, and fir are dotted with the speckled, wingless females of the mottled umber moth, often over a dozen on one hole. Clinging, too, like withered leaves, are the variable males, some with dark bands, some quite pale, others again bandless, their wings merely peppered with buff or brown. This is the third autumn running when this troublesome moth has been far above the normal; how long will the trees stand annual defoliation? So far, at any rate, they show no sign of weakness.
