... Brother Kimball Addressed the meeting & said the spirit of God would make a humbly man handsome. I do not place my affections upon any thing but God & Jesus Christ. You ought to love Brother Brigham enough to keep his commandments. So with my family. If they love me they will keep my commandments. ...

Some men wanted to get women from their husbands who are dead & get them sealed to them. Such would rob the dead. This is wrong....

The Melinium will be spent in the Temples of the Lord in Redeeming our dead. If my friends will not Receive my testimony I will let them alone & when they have been in Hell long enough I will go & Redeem them. ... I would as lieves be damned without a man as to be damned with a man that would steal a dead mans wife for He will be damned any how. ...
