Missionary work gathers momentum. The missionaries begin to open their mouths, to declare repentance with the voice of a trump. The Spirit quickens them.
Orson Pratt comes on the scene because of the preaching of his brother Parley Parker. Edward Partridge is a pattern of piety. Many revelations are received. The weak things of the world are called upon to thresh the nations by the power of the Spirit of God.
"It may be well to observe here, that the Lord greatly encouraged and strengthened the faith of His little flock, which had embraced the fulness of the everlasting Gospel, as revealed to them in the Book of Mormon, by giving some more extended information upon the Scriptures, a translation of which had already commenced." (p. 132)
Lost scripture? Yes. Lots of lost scripture. A lot of scripture still to come forth in the due time of the Lord. Here are a few of the lost books:

Lost scripture? Yes. Lots of lost scripture. A lot of scripture still to come forth in the due time of the Lord. Here are a few of the lost books:
- Scripture of Abraham's time
- Prophecy of Enoch
- Another Epistle of Jude
- Another Epistle to the Ephesians
- An Epistle to the Laodiceans
- Another Epistle to the Corinthians
Joseph Smith also receives the Prophecy of Enoch which is included in the Book of Moses:
"This prophecy of Enoch is contained in the 'Writings of Moses,' which about this time were revealed to the Prophet, and are now published in the 'Pearl of Great Price.' It will be understood, then, by the reader, that the 'Prophecy of Enoch' itself is found in the 'Writings of Moses,' and that in the text above we have but a few extracts of the most prominent parts of 'Enoch's Prophecy.' For the complete prophecy the reader is referred to the 'Pearl of Great Price.'"
And what a prophecy it is. Read it.
