President Young while speaking of the Resurrection said that we should receive the same bodies that we lay down if our dust was blown to the four winds of Heaven
~ Brigham Young
B Young addressed the meeting in an interesting manner said his faith was that the Earth would not have produced for the Gentiles as it has for us & if we had faith & power with God to have the curse taken off instead of the sage brush & other useless shrubs we should have the apple pear peach grape & evry good fruit but if this people do not take a different course from what they do in some things their blessings will prove a curse & wo will be unto them
~ Brigham Young
