D&C 98 raise standard of peace, not revenge. ... it is the will of the Lord that the Store shou[ld] be kept and that <not> one foot of <land> the perchased should <be> be given to the enimies of god or sold to them but if any is sold let it be sold to the chirch we cannot git the consent of the Lord that we shall give the ground to the enemies ... we wait the Comand of God to do whatever he plese and if <he> shall say go up to Zion and defend thy Brotheren by <the sword> we fly ...
