of God And I wish to say to the Young Ladies when the
young Brethren make proposals of Marriage to them dont ask
them how many carriages they have got or how much gold
& silver, but ask are they virtueous, honest, industrious
are they Saints & willing to obey council if so marry
them & God will bless you. all the requirements in property
I have herd was that they should have 3 straw beds all
but the ticks. 7. Lay up your wheat I do not feel that
a great deal is necessary to be said upon this subject. I
think the visitation of the grasshoppers another year will
cause us all to lay up wheat if we can get it without much preaching
8. Learn to keep the law of Life. This is an important
subject I think we shall have to change our maner of
life in many things But I feel that BPresident Young is
better qualified to teach this principle than I am

had more of the Spirit of God in preaching the first princi-

& the Book of Mormon true than in preaching many
Misteries when a Man goes into misteries he is in
the swamp & does not know what he is doing
