our spirits ought not to stoop to any mean thing &
our bodies ought not to bow down to any wrong thing
& ought not to be defiled but to be used for noble
purposes and as our bodies & spirits are used for good
and good purposes they have no time to do evil but
ascendency is gained over evil & that spirit that has
the power brings forth the fruit of its own work
whether it be good or evil. He said while on this
Journey many said they would do so & so if the
Presidency commanded them so Brigham had to
command them before He could get it done but
we should do good without being commanded to
do it

The Marshall arose & said there were some acts
passed by the city council which He would mention
that there be no shooting of fire arms after sun down
And no timber cut within 20 miles of here without
the direction of the council. Also that dogs be
taken care of & to shoot no more dogs without the
order of the Marshall &c

President Young arose & said I wish to say a few
words upon Principle I desire the brethren and
sisters to be taught in all things necessary. There
is one thing I want you to realize And that is
that God, Angels, & Saints Heaven and all of
Gods creation are governed by law And I want
the Camp of Israel to understand that we must
be And if Heaven was not controlled by law what
for a place would it be I would not wish to be
there for were we rushed into Heaven without
law evry man would be in danger of loosing his
rights & having them trampeld upon but all
celestial beings are governed by law & perfect
order yea the celestial law is a perfect order of
things A perfect system of light, law, intelligence
exhaltation & glory whare evry persons rights are
sustained to the fulest extent
