as he tells me I do the will of my Father in Heaven for he is the only man that holds
the keys of salvation. when I feel reluctant to do his will I feel bad & so do you all. when
I do his will I can sleep in peace & my heart is consoled all the day long. this is also
the case with you when you do not do as your Bishop tells you. last year your improvements
were all scattered about but now you are got into a smashed suckertash pie. now go to &
save yourselves against all selfishness. I am going to put my property & all my wives
into the Church & then nothing can be taken out of the Church. I am going to dedicate all
I have to God. when a man turns away from the Priesthood he forfeits every thing
even his life for that is no longer his. my body is only lent to me by the Lord
and I forfeit every thing when I go astray. if righteousness was laid to the line
it would take many heads from their shoulders & the day will be when that will be done

now do as your bishop tells you & not go to salt
Lake to President Young to alter this or that I
pray that this people may do right for when you dishon[o]r
the priesthood you dishonor God I have been told
that some have said that I will honor the priesthood
but I will not honor him that holds the priesthood
but I say that you cannot honor one without honoring
the other. Bishop Walker is presiding here follow
his council & all will be right and the blessing of
God will rest upon you even so Amen
