[Brigham Young Sermon] President Brigham Young arose and said if the people wanted the word of the Lord written, he could give it to them in this way. He had the feeling in his heart to avoid giving the will of God with a '"Thus saith the Lord.'" In this latter case, the curse of God would the more directly and speedily come upon those who would not obey. Where God gives His law, and it is not observed, the penalty must be paid.
