Revelation given to Oliver Cowdery,
Sept. 1880.
1. Behold, / 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
| have given
2. But, behold, verify, verify say
unto thee, no one shall be appointed TO
receive commandments and revelations
in this church excepting my servant
Joseph Smith Jr., for he receiveth
them even as Moses, aud thou shalt be
obedient unto the things which | shall
give unto him. even as Aaron, to de-
clare faithfully the commandments and
reyel ations, with power and authority
unto the church. And If thou art led
at any time by the Comforter to speak
commandment unto the church, thou
mayest do il. But thou shalt not write
by way of commandment, but by wis
dom: and thou shalt not command him
who is at thy head, and At the head OF
the church. for | have given him the
keys Of the mysteries and the revela.
tions, which are sealed, until | shall
appoint unto them another in his stead
no
that you shall 90 unto the Lamani es.
and preach my gospel unto them; and
inasmuch as they receive my teachings
thou shalt cause my church TO be es-
tablished among them, and thou shalt
have revelations, but write them not
by way OF commandment And now,
behold, | say unto you, that 1t is not
revealed, and no man knoweth where
the city shall be built, but 1t shall be
given hereafter. Behold, | say unto
you that it shall be on the borders by
the Lamanites.
4. Thou shalt not leave here 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. And again, thou shalt take thy

thee alone and tell him those things
which he hath written from that stone
and not for me, and Satan deceiveth
him; for behold, these things have not
been appointed unto him, nether shall
anything be appointed unto any of this
church contrary TO the church coven-
ants, for all things must be done in or
der aud by common consent in the
church. by the prayer of faith.
5. And thou shalt assist TO settle all
these things, according to the coven-
ants of the church, before thou shalt
take thy journey among the Lamanites
And it shall be given thee from the
time thou shalt go, until the time thou
shalt return, what thou shalt do And
thou shalt open thy mouth at all times
declaring my gospel with the sound Of
rejoicing Amen.

Beauty is Heart Deep.

Beauty is but skin Deep That is
skin-deep saying. Beauty is heart
deep. 1t is out of the heart that it
grows. This is not mere saying like
the other. 1t is the fact and the secret
which we are eager to penetrate.
There is, indeed, skindeep beauty, "a
mere unearned, unlived, bodily inner
itance; but out of some heart, through
some life-earning, it must always have
been originated and evolved. The
grandest beauty may wait, its secret
glory not shown forth, for lifetime:
covered in with plain, even ungainly
exterior, as noble building Is roughly
boarded up while it is being carefully
wrought to its perfection. Many IA
woman goes through the world like
this. Or the true beauty may be so
tender in its beginnings that it needs
to be hidden, shielded -not made sign
of before its time-lest it should be
spoiled and perish in exposure. So the
final heritage waits, while n present
outer poverty is permitted, which, like
the opposite condition, may have cone
down through some strain of ancestry,
the outer betrayal OF a far back, inner
want. OF such waiting, IA little further
on. wonderful loneliness may be born.
A plain woman, with beauty in her
soul, has often been the mother of a
marvellously beautiful child
Beauty is seed in the nature. 1t
will germinate, bud, leaf out, blossom.
II the beauty is inside you, and alive,
you will-sometime, some where-be n
form OF beauty. You have only got TO
live, love on and wait. You shall have
your birthright. Certain OF this, will
you care II even it does not wholly
come TO you within the threescore
years and ten? When you come OF age
you shall possess your estate. Only
never barter it away for "a mess OF pot
tage which you happen TO be hungry

Let the goodness have the light,
Put the evil out of sight,
Make the world we live in bright,

Failures come, but come TO bless,
Fitting us for righteousness
