to know if he should except it I told him I would not & If
he wanted to get into a scrape He might do it otherwise He had
better let it alone I told them to go back & preach the gospel to them
& tell them to clean up &c.

Now we want to know what all men
are doing through this Territory the people are dirty & filthy &
they want to reform in this thing. many do not treat their
children right but use them roughly now if a man has the spirit
of God he will use his Children well & treat them kindly
I can tell you that Children are very sensitive & the treatment
they meet with has a great Effect upon them we want to
see to that the people are imployed the reason why we prosper in
this city more than any other we labour. I went to Taylorsville
with Joseph Young and the people ware so dead & so bad that Brother
Joseph wanted to go home & not stop I told him I would not
go untill I converted that people & I staid untill I done it th[ey]
got the spirit of God before I left them I conquered the people
so at the city Bountiful I preached there untill the spirit stoped with
us for days but at first the bishop was asleep & when you go to a
place treat the people right get the spirit of God then you will
know all that is going on & when gyou go to a place preach to that
people dont get into Noah ark or into the city of Jerruselem
but just tell the people what you want them to do other remarks
were made by Brother Grant

F D Richards followed was glad to get home & when abroad was
in the preaching mood but not so much in this City but wished to
get into the spirit of it
