[Brigham Young]
It has been reported the past week to new comers and news has been sent back that the Twelve command the people and are going to take everything from them. I shall command when God requires it of me.
I want to know whether those that have recently arrived here will be united and work for the general good, and not desire to separate themselves. ...
Exhorted the saints to live up to all of their privileges, for the saints have to become so pure that their bodies will be changed in a moment as Jesus was, and not rest in the grave one hundred or a thousand years.
