want me TO go that do not hke;" or, rather
think Brother Bingham thinks am not tried and
cumstances to finish trying me-" That is the reason
want you to go here or there, and the reason why
you complaint; for when men are thoroughly tried
they are ready to go to any place where hey
sre told TO go, and when they are told My coun-
sci now to new corners is, to do just what you have
a mind to, and go where you please, If you can.
You may go and settle in any part OF the
Territory that you please; and, Furthermore, you
may 90 to California; II you wish. / have told you
what you may do, will bow tell you shat you may
not do. You may try to gather little company,
and 60 to settle place where there are no lnhab-
tants. You cannot, with my consent, go to any
place unless it is to city that is or will be walled
in. II you 60 from this city go to ns'gbborhood
where you can be defended from the ravlges Of To-
diaDs other evil designed persons. Brother David
Fullmer this morning talked about working all our
we contemplate making here Is not Sreaktast
spell. l calculate to keep walling until the aoun
tains around US become an inpregnable defence.
What we have now on hand is not Circumstance.
will venture to say that brother Farley p Pfatt has
got job on hand infinitely more extensive than the
waliDg in OF the whole territory OF Utah. His work
was given to him sixteen years ago by the prophet
Joseph Smith, in the Kirkland Temple. Farley
p. Pratt has yet to build temples in old Scotland.
The Scotch brethren might say, " What is the
use, then, OF our coming to these distant valleys,
30 far from our native country ~ Had you
not better write to your brethren VINO are
He has to build temples there OF greater magnitude
than we have yet contemplated. When he will do
it do not know; 1t Is certain he viii do IT, II ne IS
faithful but whether he will do It after the earth Is
glorifed or before that time, do not know. have
q word TO say TO the sisters who have lately come
into o, city-Do not allow your fathers your hus-
bands and your brothers to go to any place to settle
unless it is walled in or in some other way made per.
fecty capable OF defending you and Themselves from
the attacks of Indians, those who would seek to
destroy you and your property. II they want to drag
you of to some place where you will be exposed to
the ravages of Indians, tall them you are going to
stay where you are, and then ask them what they
going to do about it. 1t is not my general prac-
ice to counsel the sisters to disobey their husbands
but my counsel Is obey your husbands, AMI am san.
guine and mort emphatic on that subject But never
counselled woman follow her husband to the DEVIL
If man is determined to expose the lives Of his
friends let that man go to the devil and to des-
truction alone. You have got my counsel. You
need not any OF you ask my counsel to run over to
the west mountains to settle, for there plenty
alone there already. II you have not elbow room
enough, rub my elbows l can rub as hard as you
can. l can tell you something you never have yet
thought Of You may number all the families In this
city, and with them their cattle and Ocks, and there
is ground within its precincts, if properly cul-
tivated, than would support them all from year to
year. There are not inhabitants enough in the city
to cultivate the land in it IS it should be. Look
around and see tie hundreds OF acres tn have not
been cultivated at all one bushel to ten has not
been raised that might have been on the lots that
the people have pretended to cultivate. Be not afraid
OF being too close together. The man or woman
who enjoys the spirit Of the Lord never feel
themselves crowded by thst spirit, or by those
who possess IL; and they never will. Wnen dis
turbance and difficulty occur it is because Of the
opposite spirit, which is contentious spirit,
and those persons who possess it may expect TO be
crowded when they get to hell as much or more
than they are here; they will not have as much
elbow room there as they have here, perhaps. The
Latter Day Saints ought not to feel so. Our cities
are open--our streets are wide, and we have the
sweet mountain air, and healthy country. Do not
breathe, who lived in eleven, twelve and fourteen
story houses 10 your native country! Fyou could
live in such confined circumstances, why cannot you
live here, while breathing air as sweet, may say, as
the New Jerusalem. have told you my mind; you
can now do as your own minds shall dictate, if
you think proper, and be responsible for the same.
have frequently thought, what would be the con-
sequence In this community, were we to be as
strict now, as the authorities OF the church once
were; for it used TO be, if man did not obey
counsel after it was given him, he was cut off
from Il church. Do you not think we are lenient,
easy and forgiying Let US be kind TO each other,
to know the will Of God. How can you know it IN
matters pertaining to yourselves as individuals you
obtain it directly from the Lord but in matters
pertaining to public affairs His will is ascertained
through the proper channel. and may be Known by
the general counsel that is given you from the proper
source. have told you heretofore what am afraid

they have nothing to fear from this time hencefOrth
and forever. You are not to be overcome by your
enemies, or put down and tramred under foot, if
you will do this, and continue to be humble before

prophet He was full OF sorrow, trouble, poverty,
and distress but now the people are led into riches

their leaders. They are on the high way to wealth.
and there is danger in it. Here are men that never
knew enough Of the principles of economy to gather
substance, or save anything to themselves, until
within few years back; but now they are becoming
rich in moderate point of view. We do not expect
TO become wealthy like the Rothschilds, OF some
other large capitalists of Europe. This people are
gathering much substance around them, which is a
principle of Heaven-a principle OF Zion but there
is q fear within us lest it cause us to forget our
God and cur religion. Whether we have much
or little, let it be on the altar, for it is all the
Lords, whether this people know it or not Joseph
Smith said to this people, that al the wisdom
he had was received from the hand OF the Lord All
the knowledge, wisdom, economy, and every bust
ness transaction pertaining TO human life connec
ton nth theSprtual kingdom Of God on the earth,
is given unto as individuals, or as com mInity,
from the liberal hand Of God. Do you realize this
Or will some OF you say, ut is my own wisdom and
economy that has accom- pshed this or that ~ If
you do beware, lest the Lord withdraw the light of
his spirit from you that you are left in darkness and
your former judgment, wisdom and discretion be
taken from you. If we receive good, it is of the
Lord; then let us serve him. and love him With
true heart. As to the world they may do as they
please, for we care not for it anyhow. Let this
people ceave unto the Lord and righteous principles
and all is right and well. May the Lord bless you.
Amen !!
