[Anthony Ivins Journal]
Apostle [Brigham] Young [Jr.] made interesting remini[s]cent remarks. Said in vision a messenger took him into the air and showed him the entire continent. He saw the country North & East desolate & devoid of all inhabitants, while the country South was populous & prosperous. The Presidency called the people together and said--Brethren we want volu pioneers to go out and build up the waste places there are none to oppose us.
