Even so it has been better for them than to stay where their souls would have been among the rejected at the day of resurrection. "But for Elder Rae, our leader, we should all have perished by now. He is at times severe and stern with those who falter, but only for their good. He is all along the line, helping the women, who well-nigh worship him, and urging on the men.

Of six hundred setting out from the Missouri River, over one quarter had died by the way. And to Joel Rae had now come another mission, one that would not let him wait, for the spirit was moving him strangely and strongly, a mission of reformation.
