may understand the truth and know what lies before us as I do and then
you will not question the reasonableness of these things but go to
work and do them with all your might

My teaching is to tell the people what to do
to be saved to-day for if you get out of the path of salvation to day
you are in danger of being out of it to-morrow and the farther you
stray from it the more difficulty you will meet in ever finding
it again

It would be folly in my spending my time in telling the
people about the glories of the Millennium while I see them straying
from those paths that would lead to those glories

Now many of this people will say I have fine
farms horses cattle goods gold and riches. The possessor says I
look upon them; I say these are mine. At the same time
you do not once think that there is not one thing in your possession
that is yours. It all belongs to God; and even you yourselves
belong to God. All you have belong[s] to Him and He has
only loaned it to you and yet you do not acknowledge his hand
in anything while you should acknowledge his hand in all things

I know what the design of the Lord is in
leading the people to this place and his design concerning Israel
and it is none of your business what I counsel you to do. It is
your business to go to work and do it. Leave the event
with God.

I want this people to build their forts as I tell them
and when you have built this fort and made a wall six feet thick
and twelve feet high and get comfortable in your houses then go
to work and build one on the outside 12 feet thick and run them
both up together 25 feet high and keep building until I tell you
to stop and be in a situation that you may shut up your gates
and lie down and sleep in fsafety with your wives and children.

Many other interesting remarks were made
by the President which I was not able to record
