Joseph Smith preaches concerning a wife-beater in Palmyra, New York: "I whipped him till he cried enough." Speaking of the building of the Nauvoo House (a large hotel) Joseph preaches, "I want the Nauvoo House Built. It must be guilt. Our salvation depends on it. . . .Hang on to the Nauvoo House thus and you will build it and you will be on [Mount] Pishagah. The great men who come will pile their gold and silver till you are weary of receiving them . . . Those who have labored and cannot get you rpay be patient." Joseph also preaches, "There is a great deal of murmuring in the Church about me, but I don't care any thing about it. I like to hear it thunder to hear the Saints grumbling."
