[Brigham Young Sermon] President Brigham Young said those present had been of late instructed in the first principles of the Order of Enoch. .... "I have contemplated this Order for years, but never have I felt the spirit to indicate that the people would receive it, till the present time. You may say, '"What do you want of us?'" I will tell you what is wanted. I want the sisters to take the lead in customs and fashions. ... I want to see a fund in this community, so that we may send for machinery and other appliances to save the labor of the sisters. I want to see the sisters practice prudent economy. ... Now, I refer to hats. Why not use our old pantaloons and make our caps out of them? ... Gather the grapes, have a few general places at which to make wine. First, by lightly pressing, make a white wine; then give a heavier pressing and make colored wine. Then barrel up this wine, and, if my counsel is taken, this wine will not be drank here, but will be exported, and thus increase the fund. ...
