Counting Chickens before they
are Hatched.

In q sermon delivered by President Aim
ball, one of the three Presidents of the
Mormon sect, to the Latter Day Saints, at
Salt Lake city on the sth of February last,
and which is reported in the Deseret News
of Feb. 25th, we find the following estimate
OF increase of population under the t: vora-
Bile auspices polygamy, President K. said
How long do you suppose it will take a
little man like me, though l feel able to
thrash any six common wicked men, if l
am faithful in keeping the commandments
of God and true all the days of my life to
nv brethren, as l have been hitherto and
mean to be more so, to get into the celes-
tial kingdom of God with my whole poster
ity, in case there should be no obstruction ?
How long do you suppose it will be before
my posterity increases to over o million =
A hundred years will not pass away before
l will become millions myself. You may
90 10 work and reckon it up, and twenty
five years will not pass away before br
Brigham and l will number more than this
whole Territory. In 25 or 80 years we will
have a larger number in u two families,
than there now is in this whole Territory,
which numbers more than se%venty-fye
thousand. If twenty-five years will pro-
duce this amount of people, how much will
be the increase in one hundred years.? We
could not number them, or if we did sum
up the amount TO any given time, they are
still on the increase.
But some of you are taking a course to
spend your lives for nought, while br. Brig
ham and l are becoming like Arabian,
Isaac and Jacob and the Prophets. Why
do you not be profitable to yourselves and
put out your lives to usury! Do you I'M
derstand me?
