& telling them of the Judgments that will
come upon them if they do not alter their
cours & go to work & do as I have told told the[m]
do you suppose they will escape the chastening
rod of the Almighty No they will not if the
people continue to persue this course & the
chastening rod does not fall upon their heads
I should become disgraced in the sight of God
Angels & men. this people may rest assured that
they are preparing a rod for their backs if they
do not listen to my counsel & do what I tell
them. but says one I would go to work &
help build a wall around the city if I knew
it was a revelation from God & that it was
his will that we should do it. I want to say to
such that it is my will that you should do it
& that is enough I am responsible for it & if
you want to know any further about it do
right pray unto the Lord & have faith before
him that you may have visions & revelations
from God tso that you may understand the
truth & know what lies before us as I do, then
you will not question the reasonableness of these
things but go to work & 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 today
you are in danger of being out of it tomorrow &
the further you stray from it the more difficulty
you will meet with in ever finding it again. it woud
be folly in me to spend 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 & riches the possesser says I look upon them I say
thes are mine & at the same time you do not once even think
that there is not one thing in your possession that is youres that
it all belongs to God & even you yourself belongs to God & all you
have belongs to Him & He has ownly loaned it to you & yet
you do not acknowlede his hand in any thing while you should
acknowledge his hand in all things.

I know what the design
of the Lord is in leading this people to this place & his design
concerning Israel and it is none of your business what I coun-
sel you to do it is your business to go to work & do it. leave the
event with God I want this people to build their forts as I
tell them & when you have built this fort & made a wall
6 feet thick & 12 feet high & get comfortable in your houses then
go to work & build one on the outside of it 12 feet thick & run
them both up together 25 feet high & keep building untill
I tell you to stop, & be in a situation that you may shut up
your gates & lie down & sleep in safety with your wives & chi[l]dren
many other interesting remarks were made by President Young
upon this occasion which I am not able to record
