Doctrine and Covenants 111–114

Overview

In 1836, the Church was deeply in debt. The Prophet Joseph Smith and other Church leaders traveled to Salem, Massachusetts, where they hoped to obtain money to pay the debt. While in Salem, Joseph received the revelation recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 111. In 1837, Thomas B. Marsh, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, sought direction about his calling from Joseph Smith.
