it But steal it & it will be a curse to you & cause you
sorrow & misery. Whenever I get so that I set my

President Heber C kimball followed & said I felt quite well
in the forenoon but I do not feel well this afternoon in healt[h]
I know what President Young has said is true we have
come here & we have Dedicated this people & this place to
God. Now do the people realize why we are here no they do
not. we are here for the benefit of all Israel we have not
come here for a salary we have come here to do the w[il]l
of God and I will say that the yoke is off from our neck
& it shall never be put on again not on the necks of this
people. for if we do not do as God wants us to do he will raise
up a people that will do it. I tell you that God will smite any
people that undertake to stop this work And I say that
what President Young has said is true you nknow that
what President Young has our children have to learn
the Alphabet first so it is with this people the things
which God teaches us are small & simple in many resp[ec]ts
but they are just as necessary for us to learn & practice ias it
is for the child to learn his letters in order to understand
the Arts & sciences for we have to learn & practice small
things before we can obtain & carry out the greater things
of God. Now we are required to begin to build up &
adorn Zion we should set out fruit & shade trees I have
not done as much as I would liked to have done, but I have
raised some 15 bushels of peaches. President Young has
a large orchard he has raised a good many peaches & apples
& some 10000 1000 lbs of Good grapes as good as I ever
tasted. And that is as hard a place to live as there is
in these mountains. My wood for one fire cost me
some $1.75. These canyons are full of Good fruit which
you can get & set out. I have several kinds of good currands
which I got from the canyons which bear large & fine
fruit these things all heplp adorn the Earth. now go
to & build up this place & make a beautiful city. you have
a good place around the state house for a city & gardens
& orchards the soil is sandy & you have a plenty of ma[n]ure
to make it rich. The people must learn & practice clean-
liness in this life some people think they can live all
their days in filth & dirt never even wash their bodies
then die & go to heaven & be clean but if you do not
learn & practice this lesson in this life you will have to learn
& practice it in the next before you will be received into the society
of those who are clean pure & holy. you have got to be
passive in the hands of God. As the prophet has said if
we are ^not^ passive in the hands of God as clay is in the hands
of the potter we shall have to be cut off from the whell
& flung into the batch & ground over again before we

& then it will be a blessing to you allways & you will enjoy it. But steal it & it will be a curse to you & cause you sorrow & misery. Whenever I get so that I set my heart upon Houses, lands, Gold or any thing Els on earth so as to begin to turn my heart away from the Lord The day before that comes to pass I want the Lord to take me away.
