Do
not
jest
at
that
which
is
sacred
,
"
said
the
other
sternly
.
"
We
are
of
those
who
believe
in
those
sacred
writings
,
drawn
in
Egyptian
letters
on
plates
of
beaten
gold
,
which
were
handed
unto
the
holy
Joseph
Smith
at
Palmyra
.
We
have
come
from
Nauvoo
,
in
the
State
of
Illinois
,
where
we
had
founded
our
temple
.
We
have
come
to
seek
a
refuge
from
the
violent
man
and
from
the
godless
,
even
though
it
be
the
heart
of
the
desert
.
"
The
name
of
Nauvoo
evidently
recalled
recollections
to
John
Ferrier
.
"
I
see
,
"
he
said
,
"
you
are
the
Mormons
.
"
"
We
are
the
Mormons
,
"
answered
his
companions
with
one
voice
.
"
And
where
are
you
going
?
"
"
We
do
not
know
.
The
hand
of
God
is
leading
us
under
the
person
of
our
Prophet
.
You
must
come
before
him
.
He
shall
say
what
is
to
be
done
with
you
.
"
They
had
reached
the
base
of
the
hill
by
this
time
,
and
were
surrounded
by
crowds
of
the
pilgrims
--
pale-faced
meek-looking
women
,
strong
laughing
children
,
and
anxious
earnest-eyed
men
.
Many
were
the
cries
of
astonishment
and
of
commiseration
which
arose
from
them
when
they
perceived
the
youth
of
one
of
the
strangers
and
the
destitution
of
the
other
.
Their
escort
did
not
halt
,
however
,
but
pushed
on
,
followed
by
a
great
crowd
of
Mormons
,
until
they
reached
a
waggon
,
which
was
conspicuous
for
its
great
size
and
for
the
gaudiness
and
smartness
of
its
appearance
.
Six
horses
were
yoked
to
it
,
whereas
the
others
were
furnished
with
two
,
or
,
at
most
,
four
a-piece
.
Beside
the
driver
there
sat
a
man
who
could
not
have
been
more
than
thirty
years
of
age
,
but
whose
massive
head
and
resolute
expression
marked
him
as
a
leader
.
He
was
reading
a
brown-backed
volume
,
but
as
the
crowd
approached
he
laid
it
aside
,
and
listened
attentively
to
an
account
of
the
episode
.
Then
he
turned
to
the
two
castaways
.
"
If
we
take
you
with
us
,
"
he
said
,
in
solemn
words
,
"
it
can
only
be
as
believers
in
our
own
creed
.
We
shall
have
no
wolves
in
our
fold
.
Better
far
that
your
bones
should
bleach
in
this
wilderness
than
that
you
should
prove
to
be
that
little
speck
of
decay
which
in
time
corrupts
the
whole
fruit
.
Will
you
come
with
us
on
these
terms
?
"
"
Guess
I
'll
come
with
you
on
any
terms
,
"
said
Ferrier
,
with
such
emphasis
that
the
grave
Elders
could
not
restrain
a
smile
.
The
leader
alone
retained
his
stern
,
impressive
expression
.
"
Take
him
,
Brother
Stangerson
,
"
he
said
,
"
give
him
food
and
drink
,
and
the
child
likewise
.
Let
it
be
your
task
also
to
teach
him
our
holy
creed
.
We
have
delayed
long
enough
.
Forward
!
On
,
on
to
Zion
!
