was once more released and a free man.

But of course the mob was not satisfied, so they laid a plan to capture
Joseph and tar and feather him; but now the constable who had treated him
so badly, saw by the trial that he was innocent, and came to Joseph and
asked his forgiveness. He told the prophet of the mob's intentions and
helped Joseph to get safely away home.

So the Lord was with his servants and helped them out of the hands of those
who would harm them. The Lord was also kind to the Saints and gave the
Church many revelations which you may find in the book called "Doctrine and
Covenants," which contains the revelations given to the Church through
Joseph the Prophet.
