[3]. While on this journey to Canada the Prophet kept a daily journal, from which the narrative he gives in the text was evidently taken. This journal is in the Prophet's own handwriting, and is one of the interesting relics among the records of the Church. At various points in the Prophet's narrative of this mission, I shall quote whatever may be of interest in addition to the narrative given in the text. Of this meeting at Rudd's the Prophet says: "Had a great congregation—paid good attention. O God, seal our testimony to their hearts!"—(Page 6).

[4]. Springfield is in the western part of Erie county, Pennsylvania.

[5]. Westfield was in Chautauqua county, New York, near the shore of Lake Erie.

[6]. The Prophet in his Journal also says under this date (11th of October): "I feel very well in my mind. The Lord is with us, but have much anxiety about my family."—(Journal page 7).

[7]. This was Brother Freeman Nickerson who was conveying them to Canada, and this Perrysburg, Cattaraugus county, New York, was his place of residence.

[8]. Doctrine and Covenants, sec. c.

[9]. Waterford is immediately south of Brantford, in the adjoining county of Norfolk.

[10]. "The result is in the hands of God," adds the Prophet. (Journal, page 14.) I also add the Prophet's entry for the 25th, which is omitted in his narrative. Friday, 25th "This afternoon, at a Mr. Patrick's, expect to hold a meeting this evening. People very superstitious. O God, establish thy word among this people. Held a meeting this evening; had an attentive congregation; the spirit gave utterance." (Page 14.)

[11]. "May God carry on His work in this place," adds the Prophet, "till all shall know Him. Amen." (Page 16.)

[12]. "May God," adds the Prophet, "increase the gifts among them for His Son's sake." (Journal, page 17.) On the 29th the Prophet's party started for home. "May the Lord prosper our journey. Amen," he writes in his Journal, page 17.
