and the Daughters Of the Pioneers.
Speaking OF lions camp. he said.
In the fall OF 1893 the saints in Mis-
rouri were driven from jackson coun-
" and sought temporary refuge in Clay
county. Messengers were sent to the
prophet at Kirkland with n report OF
this persecution, and on February "a
1884. he received revelation command
ing him to collect together the young
and middle-aged men OF the church and
march with them to the assistance Of
their prosecuted brethren in Missouri.
The prophet was chosen as command

OF elders. priests. teachers and deacOns
OF the church The whole band was
divided into companies OF twelve with
captain over each. two cooks, two
firemen. two tent makers. two water
men. one runner. two wagoners and
horsemen and a cOmmissary. Thus was
each company divided and each member
given some duty TO perform. The Jour

This journey from Kirkland. Ohio. to

time redeemed or the brethren rein
stated on their property. There had
been many hardships encountered and
some Of the brethren had complained
bitterly OF their lot one OF them. in
an evil moment made an unjust accu-

not until some time afterwards that
the difficulty was settled Because OF
the murmurings of the brethren the
cholera broke out in the camp ana a
number OF them died before the plague
was stayed. 10 was While on this Jour

received one OF the most important rev

church. The lives of the brethren were
