& President Young spoke one hour & 12 Minutes. He advised
the people to get up 100 well disiplined, Mounted, men & to be in
readiness at a moments warning to defend you against all
Indians, & do oyour duty & say nothing to any man & call upon
Nobody to help yoo for you are able to help yourselves if a man
will not let his horse or saddle go make him go with it & defend
it & if he says he will not go tell him that he will go. Use up thes
wicked Indians who are killing the inhabitants & if these indians
who profess to be friendly will not help bring them to justice, do
not let them stay with you but treat them as Enemies, &
if white man will not help make him. There is not a Blessing
on Earth or in heaven that is good but what is ordained for a
good man. A wicked man cannot have them but a short time
while the good will inherit them forever. President Young spoke
