President Young delivered a vary interesting discours
He spoke upon Union & the Authority of the Church. He said He
should follow his file leaders He should not go back for any body
or Be governed by any thing behind him. He would say to Brother
Kimball & Brother Wells that if they wished to be united with
him they must go with him & follow him He should not follow
them or go to them so with the Twelve they must follow the presid-
dency for the Presidency would not follow them the Seventies
& High Priest must follow the Twelve & so on down through
evry departmet of the Church or Els there will be an Everlasting
separation so with a man at the Head of his family if every
wife & child does not follow the Husband & Father there will be
an Eternal Separation & if a Man follows his wives or children
instead of leading himself there will be confusion & destruction
in that family it is No business to any one what his fileleader
