"The following word, or roll, was firstly prepared by the hand of Holy Wisdom, and
*written upon parchment. g” ~. º
But as a very great share of the heavy sufferings and burden of the late manifestation
had rested upon her daughter Ann, she has left a part of this roll, which was written
on the first day of January, 1842, for her daughter Ann to fill out with her last words
of instruction and solemn warning to her children, respecting many things, requesting
her to set James, [Father James Whittaker, to re-copy such parts of this roll, when fill-
ed out, as referred in a special manner, to all her Instruments, in the temple, in this
part of Zion, on a beautiful Gold PLATE, that it may there remain for ages.
But the remaining word upon the parchment, must go forth to the people, when her
angels shall have finished reading all the rolls, and conveyed all the presents, which
by us were designed to be bestowed upon the people on the Holy MoUNT.
This is the order in which I require this roll to be handed forth to the people, saith
Holy Wisdom, that all may know my will, and the will of their blessed Mother and
heavenly Parents, respecting all the presents and individual notices, both for Instru-
ments and others, that have been given out from the heavens above, at the close of
this great manifestation to our children in this place.
This is in love and charity to you all, that you may so walk, as to be greatly benefit-
ced by that which you have received from a sacred and divine source.

The words of Holy Wisdom, drafted from the roll of parthment, on to the Golden Plate, for all
the faithful Instruments in the Zion of God, by Father James, January 7, 1849, and read by the
Reading Angel of Mother Ann, for mortal hand to write, January 27, 1843,

words of solemn instruction.
I have, saith Wisdom, repeatedly, for more
than four years past, hovered with my wings of

I have with my Eternal Wisdom, through your

And I, Holy Wisdom, do now address you,
my little ones, first, with a short word of com-
by my holy and eternal wisdom, over which ye
are not required to pass.
Here the ministering spirits, and the powers

minister in the line of inspiration, only through
that medium which I, in my holy wisdom have

And if any of you should ever be called upon

pare you for a true Instrument, I will blot your
names out of the Book of Life; for you have all
greatly tasted of the good word of God, and
have been deeply baptised with the powers of
the world to come.

and every one of you, this GoLDEN PLATE, and
a golden chain, with twelve diamond seals to

Words of solemn warning and instructions, from Holy Wisdom, to be observed through life,
I now do give you solemn warnings, respecting
the many dangers to which you will be exposed;

from you any knowledge respecting what you

This is my wisdom, that these things may be
kept in their sacred order; and all who may de-
sire any further knowledge respecting them,
must go to their Elders. |
But remember, my little ones, there will evil
spirits, yea, and wicked spirits often beset you
from this time henceforth in this line, and many
times slily work through those that pretend to
be the true followers of Christ and of your bless-
ed Mother. But be ye not deceived, or led
astray by the enemy and crafty devices of
Satan; for he will leave no means untried that
is in his power, to mak: use of, to overthrow
and destroy, even the faith of the Instruments'
themselves, in the late work to which they have
been called; which he knows, full well, would
not only destroy their own souls' salvation, but
would make great shipwreck of faith and obedi-
ence, among the inhabitants of Zion generally.

better would it have been for that soul never to

an Instrument in this manifestation, and shall

Now if any of you, my little ones, get careless,
and slumber into sleep, and the enemy cometh
upon you, and makes a prey of your souls, and

unto that of Judas, who betrayed his Lord and

But I, Holy and Eternal Wisdom, have acted
the part of a kind and tender Parent, in show-

and that, in due season, ye might shun the aw-

My wisdom does furthermore require, that ye

Therefore have I caused my word to be writ-
ten upon the Gold PLATE, with that of Holy Wis-
point allotted by Him who overruleth in the
heavens above, and in the habitations of Zion
lon earth.
Therefore do I breathe upon you peace, love
and good will, and with this, power to overcome
every enemy to your soul's prosperity; yea as
dom's, that you, my 'ear children, in whom I
greatly delight, because of your beautiful sim-
plicity, honest sincerity, and true devotedness
of soul that you have shown for me, and the
rest of your heavenly Parents, during this late
man festation, may forever have it in your
souls, if you will be faithful, for your com-
fort and strength, through time and in éternity.
You have all passed through mortification

|might receive the Holy Ghost, so do I breathe
upon you as I leave you; for you have been my

nothing but your unfaithfulness will ever take

And now, dear children, I have brotght a

of you have waded month after month, and year

upon each and every one of your breasts, be-

These words, above spoken, repeat with three
bows, and then return to your places. }
Now my dear little children, receive this
from me, as the last present from a kind and
tender Mother. I have noticed you all indi-
vidually, and have given you rich presents from
heaven.
And you must be careful now, that the ad-l
versary does not buffet you, and cause you to
feel trials because you think some other one has
received a little more notice from me than what
you have.
I have given unto every one of you, accord-
ing to my wisdom, and according to the trav-
el and measure of sufferings that you have pass-||
ed through, in this manifestation, for me your
Mother. This has been my intention from the
beginning: I have not left this for mortals to do,
as some caviling spirits have already supposed.
But all these individual notices, and presents
which have been handed forth, now at the clos-
ing of my work, I did carry with my own hands,
and did cause my little angels to carry, and lay
upon the elder brethrens’ table, in their dwell-
ing room, in the first order, between the twenty
fifth day of December, 1841, and the eighth day
of January, 1842. «
And I gave my Instrument, (whom Holy

the line of order, to write, until they shall have
ample time to finish, and close all the writings
necessarily connected with the ending of my
work in this place, according to my will.
And for all of you who have been called to
spend your time and strength by day and by
night, to finish my work, says Mother, accord-
ſing to my requirement, I have placed in the
|hands of each of your little reading angels,
a golden medal, with my likeness, and a
double portion of my thanks, love and blessing
engraven thereon. -
This the angels shall place in your right
|hands, when you receive the other presents, for
you have not been to work in obedience to your
own natural feelings, but you have been to
work to please me, your Mother, and obey my
|voice; and you have been faithful and good In-

that all my children might have a comforting
word from me, their Mother.
I have also placed in the hands of my little

to stand as witnesses between your souls and

Holy and Eternal Wisdom does rejoice in

least cross that a soul takes up to obey the
noticed by my little angels, and wafted before
my throne, and a record of it is kept. There-
fore, remember, day by day, when trials and
crosses line your way, that much I shall set
down to your credit, if you will take them up
cheerfully. & -
Also the moments you spend whether at
home or abroad in breathing forth prayers to |
God, or in silent contemplation upon heavenly
things, are recorded by my holy angels. And
they that faithfully do their duty with their hands |your dwelling rooms; and when you read them
and at the same time give their hearts to God,
by placing their desires upon heavenly things,
will be able every night to load my angels with |
sweet smelling incense, to bring before my

soul has thus spent its time through the day.
So does Holy and Eternal Wisdom, who is
one with the GREAT FIRST CAUSE of all cre-
ated things, delight to notice the most iminute
action, when performed in obedience to her
righteous will.
If not one hair of your heads falleth to the
ground, without your Heavenly Father's no-ſtry, and as far by the Elders, as they may think
tice, then consider ye that it is impossible for
any action of your lives, whether good or bad,
to pass unnoticed. But it is the greatest de-

the Temple, written upon the roll of parthment with IIoly Mother's word.
My dear children, who have found favor in the
sight of your Holy and Eternal Parents, and to
whom my soul is bound in golden cords of love,
will you condescend this once, with open hearts
to-hear, and undesstand the word which my ||
own mouth hath dictated upon this roll of parch-
ment? for this will be the last that you can
receive direct from me, your Mother.
O my dearly beloved children, have ye not
all received from me a parting word of consola-
tion, in a little book, and does not this feel |
more rich. than earthly treasures of either gold
or sihver?
Yea, Mother, your spirits will often say;
and so they do; they feel to you now more
rich than any earthly treasure whatever. But,
dear children, these things cannot feel any more
precious, near or dear to you, than your souls
feel to me; nay, in no wise; the nearest and |
dearest objects of my love, are such as: daily
labor to keep my gospel unspotted, and pro-
mote the same heavenly zeal, in others.
Did you think, O ye little ones of my love,
that the spirit of a kind and tender Mother
could leave you, with whom she had spent so
many days in scenes of sorrow and tribulation;
|
with whom she had walked hand in hand, for
more than three long years, spending many an
hour in your kind embraces, feasting with her
little ones on the holy things of God, and then

that privilege which you have had for four

children, I would cite your minds back to the
days of Moses, when by the command of God
he led the children of Israel out from under the
bondage and servitude of Egypt, and see if you
can find any thing recorded in the sacred volume,
respecting the manifestations of God, through
Moses, to that people, for their protection from
the power of the surrounding nations, (their
natural enemies, ) but what is predicated wholly
upon this proviso, that they must walk in strict
and true"obedience to his revealed will through
And furthermore, see if you can find one
instance where they were truly obedient accord-
ing to the best of their understanding, but that
the previous promises of God were unto them
verified to the full extent, and that too in va-
rious ways and manners, for which no natural
means nor mortal power, could possibly ren-
der any reason, save this; that for their true
obedience, the overruling hand of providence
smote their enemies before them.
And so shall it be with the inhabitants of Zion
of life, and in their youthful days, that have |
not yet passed through the days of their heav-
iest trial. But the strength that will be given ||
to every-faithful soul, will be sufficient for the
day of trial thereof.
So be ye encouraged, my dear children, be
on earth in these latter days; if they will keep
|| the revealed statutes of heaven, and obey their
visible Lead, the hand of God will be stretched

out over them, for their protection, , and his
righteous arm shall lead them on in his eternal||
wisdom. A cloud of light and pillar of fire,
shall show to the surrounding nations , where |
the power of the Most High does dwell. |
So dear children, remember these my words,
and this my promise unto you, when ye hear my
voice no more. Though you should be cast
into the midst of a fiery furnace, or into the
depths of the foaming ocean, if you will walk in
true obedience, this ARM, that is stretched out,
shall be your sure and never failing protection.
But on the other hand, it will be withdrawn and
heavy judgments will ensue; the Canaanites
around Zion shall have power to scourge and
afflict, to scourge and afflict, and lead into cap-
tivity many of the inhabitants thereof; yea
they will surely become as briers in their eyes,

Much, I say, dear children, God has suffered
to be written on your account, and great has
been the sufferings of such souls as have been
called to write it, that they might be enabled to
do the will of God, and that alone, in writing
his sacred word. And of the depth of these
sufferings, those who have not been called in
this labor cannot judge; for in no way could
they tell, says Mother, except I should lead them
along the same path. -
And I have ever found it very difficult, since
the commencement of this manifestation, to
find Instruments that were indeed and in truth,
willing to lay down their lives, and all earthly
and natural enjoyments, and spend their days
|in tribulation of soul, for me their Mother, and
for my mortifying work, which was directly

do this; and where we have found such, wheth-
er in this place or elsewhere, you must not
think it strange, dear children, that we feel it
our right and our duty to notice them in our
own wisdom. e • *
Therefore, there can no true child of mine,
|gather envious feelings towards them on that
account, but they will love them and bless them,
because they have, out of pure love to their
Mother, and her blessed gospel; been willing to
pass through these mortifying scenes of suffer-
ings and tribulation, that all my dear children

passed through sufferings, to enable them to
write these things, they would not have been
written; and this work, this great work, in this
mânifestation to the inhabitants of Zion, would,
in process of time, have passed away and faded
from the mind like a transient dream. And in
a great part of these communications, my In-
struments, says Mother, have had to pass through
two heavy scenes of tribulation to obtain them;
one to speak them and one to write them. I
speak of these things, dear children, that you ||
may know that these givings of God have not

my Zion, and my sore displeasure with the inhab-

laid, in a special manner, upon that instrument,

Mother Ann, to suffer any souls to put their ||

FATHER WILLIAM'S COVENANT,
CIHI IL DIRT EN :
Written December 31, 1841,
‘l. Having full faith in the late manifestation
“of God, and knowing of a truth, that it has pro-
soul, that it never was, from the beginning, the
invention of man nor woman, but of the AL-
MIGHTY CREATOR of heaven and earth, I
here unite my voice and declare, in the presence
of God and his witnesses, as follows;
2. I never will, in any wise, deny my blessed
Mother, nor any of my heavenly Parents, nor
*|
present faith, or vary from it in the least degree.
| 4. And I do furthermore testify, that neither
•ceeded from the source of ALL Good ; and hav- men nor devils can falsify or counterfeit this:
ing a witness, a full assurance within my own |
late divine manifestation of God that has been
given to his people on earth. And I promise,
covenant and agree, before God and my heaven-
|ly Parents, and in presence of his living witness-
es on earth; that I will never join, in any way
shape or manner, or in affinity with any spir-
it or person, that does not believe, own and ac-
knowledge the divine origin and the sacredness
any gift sent from heaven, by or through mor-
|ness of God hath been showed unto Zion, and
tals, to mortals on earth, which is owned, ac-
knowledged and sanctioned by the visible Tead,
but I will forever stand firm, unshaken and true,
*in the way of truth and holiness, in the blessed |
'gospel of salvation, revealed through Mother ||
-Ann.
3. This I will do, through all storms of perse-
"cution and heart trying scenes, knowing of a |
struth, that this work of the Almighty has carri-
•ed full evidence in itself, sufficient to convince ||
every rational soul of its true emanation from
‘the Divine Source and FounTAIN of all.
good. Therefore I say, let this my word stand
of that manifestation which, through the good-
entered the hearts of those who dwell within her
walls.
5. And I declare unto all people, says Father
William, that the soul who confesseth not that
#his work is of God, shall surely be accursed in
his sight, and shall wither and die, and drop off
|from the body of Christ, as a dry and withered

my faith is grounded, never more to be destroy-

the soul from every filthy stain; that it may be
clothed in humility and love, and be adorned
with a Parent’s blessing; that the smiles of heav-
en may distill upon it, as dews upon a tender ||
plant, and clothe it in a garment white. And
from this my faith, I never will depart, either
upon the right or upon the left. But straightly |
enly Parents in the eternal world above, hold
|| this Covenant, with all the names that are signed
and sealed thereto, in the mansions of their God
in the narrow path I will walk, while sojourn-
ing in time's dark vale below.
7. Now, dear children, can you, with your
beloved Father William, sign this Covenant, with
a full purpose of heart, never to depart from, one
jot or tittle, to the right or to the left? And say
in truth, I never will be ashamed of this gospel,
nor of those precious gifts which have been giv-
en, or handed down to us from the heavens
above? For the light of God in my own soul,
doth clearly show and testify, that nothing but!
the carnal fallen propensities of lust will cause all
soul to despise the simple gifts and power of Al-
mighty God. *
8. So now, dear children, I must say with your
•weg)ess--
ever blessed Mother, the time is come, thatſ must
| depart from the earth, and return with my Moth-
er, and your Mother, to the mansions of my God.
9. And those of you that can sign this Cov-

| to depart therefrom, may always remem-
ber, while you remain in time, that your heav-
and your God, as a testimony and lasting me-
morial of that work which God, in his mercy,
sent us forth to do upon earth.
10. And now, dear children, your kind and
| loving father must bid you adieu. So fare ye
well my loving friends; keep your faith unspot-
ted. Stand in the work of God unmoved, and
the powers of hell shall not prevail against you.
In kindness and charity, love ye one another,
as your father hath loved you. So fare well,

1. Come gather near, my little ones, and
hear the words I have to speak. I, for one, says
Father, do believe and know, beyond a doubt,
or a possibility of a contradiction, within my ||
own soul, that this gospel is the power of God|
unto salvation, to all such as believe and obey it.
2. I also believe and know, that God in his
infitüte goodness and mercy, hath opened the
A-A-
|heavens, for several years past, with that degree
of his brightness and power, that none within
Zion's borders, who were bound in their sins,
and would not come to judgment, could help

and fear and tremble in his presence. ".

bestowed upon his people, for a few years past.
I never will, nay, I never will to the end of my

from the heavens above, were the inventions of
man or of woman, or that the Instruments were
instructed by the Ministry and Elders, to bring
forward -these things in the name of God, of
Christ or Mother, or any of the heavenly hosts.

your Father, I am your friend; and as such, I
now warn you against these evil and wicked
spirits, which will come up against Zion, as a
flock of hungry vultures in quest of prey.
9. Thus do I forewarn all my children of the
days and heavy pressure of evil, which will
surely come, when our voices shall cease to be
heard, sounding among you, and the doors of
communication shall be closed between those in
