President Young closed with an interesting Address said He had not expected to see the rocky mountains this year but when the Lord commanded him to go direct He intended to go if He left all And went alone but he thought the Lord would let him take the people with him And when He found the place for the temple He would work hard untill it was built. He said the Lord revelation A vision was with him
