of the Saints. We continued our journey and crossed the
Mississippi River steam ferry at Quincy on the 2nd day
of May being five days on our road from the Grove.

The next day I had the unspeakable happiness
of visiting Joseph

The Prophet out of Prison

Myself and five others of the Twelve rode
four miles out of town to Mr Cleaveland's to see brother
Joseph. He had just been delivered from prison
and from the hands of his enemies and had returned
to the bosom of his family and friends. His brother
Hyrum Lyman Wight and two others of the brethren
who had been imprisoned with him had also just
received their deliverence with him. They had been
confined in prison about six months and had been
under sentence of death three times. But their lives
were in the hands of God and could not be taken by
their enemies.

They were now at home and we were in
their midst—all rejoicing together. Joseph was frank open
and familiar as usual & sister Emma was truly happy.
The Bishops of the Church were also present

Two years had rolled away since I had
seen the Prophet Joseph's face and absense had served
to strengthen the strong union that made us one in the
New and Everlasting Covenant. When we arrived he greeted
us with joy and after spending the day rejoicing together
our company returned to Quincy.

On the day following which was May 4th
A General Conference
commenced in the morning on the Presbyterian camp ground
two miles north of Quincy. Joseph was with the Church
again and was presiding over a General Conference. It was
an interesting time and it truly gave the Saints great joy to
have their beloved Prophet with them again. During the day
