Doctrine and Covenants 111 More treasures than one
On July 25, 1836, Joseph Smith, Hyrum Smith, Oliver Cowdery, and Sidney Rigdon left Kirtland and traveled east, visiting New York City and Boston before reaching Salem, Massachusetts. They arrived in Salem on August 5 and rented a house on Union Street; the revelation came the next day, though the exact place where it was received is uncertain. Records do not establish a single reason for the journey, but the leaders were concerned about Zion and the debts facing the Church and its leaders. The Lord counseled them to make connections, trust his timing, and act wisely.

Doctrine and Covenants 111
- I, the Lord your God, am not displeased with your coming this journey, notwithstanding your follies.
- I have much treasure in this city for you, for the benefit of Zion, and many people in this city, whom I will gather out in due time for the benefit of Zion, through your instrumentality.
- Therefore, it is expedient that you should form acquaintance with men in this city, as you shall be led, and as it shall be given you.
- And it shall come to pass in due time that I will give this city into your hands, that you shall have power over it, insomuch that they shall not discover your secret parts; and its wealth pertaining to gold and silver shall be yours.
- Concern not yourselves about your debts, for I will give you power to pay them.
- Concern not yourselves about Zion, for I will deal mercifully with her.
- Tarry in this place, and in the regions round about;
- And the place where it is my will that you should tarry, for the main, shall be signalized unto you by the peace and power of my Spirit, that shall flow unto you.
- This place you may obtain by hire. And inquire diligently concerning the more ancient inhabitants and founders of this city;
- For there are more treasures than one for you in this city.
- Therefore, be ye as wise as serpents and yet without sin; and I will order all things for your good, as fast as ye are able to receive them. Amen.

How these connections are counted
Sources. Scripture text is the public-domain English text of the Doctrine and Covenants (sections 1–138). Section summaries, headings and questions are Weak Things’ own; the Church’s copyrighted headings and footnotes are not used. Joseph Smith Papers links point to the exact manuscript and printed pages. Connections come from the scripture links in every general conference talk from April 2000 through October 2026.
Distinct talks, not mentions. Each talk counts once per verse. Badges show whether the talk cites this exact verse or a passage that includes it, and whether the link is in a footnote or the talk text. Frequency is not a measure of doctrinal importance.
Your own words, their link. Summaries are Weak Things’ own. Talk text, Joseph Smith Papers images and transcriptions are not reproduced; every card links to the original. This independent study tool does not speak for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
