religion, to keep the word of wisdom & do our duty, to say those who sin are justified in the Church they are not, some think they are going straight into the kingdom of God & partake of all the Glory of God they are not they are mistakened we must not live for ourselves alone, if you will not live to the light of the Lord you will fail.
~ Brigham Young
neither is it right for one Man to controll the capital of another unless he is dictated by the revelations of God such a principle does not Exhist in heaven Earth or Hell in Justice.
~ Brigham Young
