August 22, 1863 ~ Saturday 22d We held a conference with the People of Cash Valley, met in a large Bowery. W Woodruff spoke in the morning ^and foretold the Building of the temple in Logan By prophesy^ followed by President Young ^whoho said, "Br Woodruff spoke By Revelation"
President Young spoke with great Plainness and Power. He called upon thHis councillors & the Twelve to wake up & get rid of there selfishness & get the spirit of God & Edify the people He called upon the whole people to covenant with upli- fted hands to Heaven to obey his council which we all did.He told the people to go to & build graneries & continue to lay up grain untill they had bread to last them seven years & not sell their grain to any body untill they had done this & stop sending their bread stuff to the gold mines & stop going to the gold mines to stay at home & attend to there own business, stop carrying grain to the distilleries to be made into whiskey, stop making whiskey & stop drinking whiskey, and if you will do this I promise you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that you will suffer no famine
