Doctrine and Covenants 73 Continue the work
Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon returned to Hiram, Ohio, around January 8, 1832, after preaching in the area. Their preaching followed an earlier direction to speak publicly about the Church, at a time when criticism had appeared in the Ohio Star. A conference was scheduled for January 25, and this revelation gave the elders guidance for the days leading up to it. After the conference, Joseph and Sidney were to return to their Bible revision work and continue until it was finished.

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.
