11. Be candid and sincere.
12. Hold sacred and do not use commonly such names as God, Jesus Christ, The Holy Ghost, Apostle, Prophet, Seer and Revelator. Elder or Brother are the common titles for members of the Melchizedek Priesthood. President and Bishop may be used where they belong.
13. Write your first name in full, or abbreviate, as "Geo." for George, "Wm." for William. Initials fail to determine the sex, or to specify clearly which person is meant.
14. Study the Scriptures carefully—the Jewish, Nephite and Latter-day revelations. Store your minds with knowledge of the truth, and the Spirit of the Lord will bring it forth in due season. As the Savior said: "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in Heaven."
15. Be cleanly in your person and clothing, spend as little money as possible, leaving the world and your brethren to assist you in the things that are needful, thereby proving that they are disciples of the Lord.
16. Lodge, feed and pray with the people as much as possible.
17. You are sent out to preach the first principles of the Gospel, and to call all men unto repentance. You are sent to teach, and not to be taught by the world.
18. Leave your visiting and sight-seeing until your mission is completed.
19. Proper living and serving the Lord and consequent growth and development of strength and stability at home will aid you in the mission field, and, on your return home, you will be better prepared thereby to continue your labors and keep from backsliding.
20. Be careful of what money you may have; see that you do not get robbed.
