I have been Anointed A king & Priest unto God. If any one wishes to kill me for it let them do it We have laboured hard to ordain kings & Priest unto God to reign here on the earth but not now, but I will tell you when it will be. when the LORD JESUS CHRIST comes to reign and recieve his Crown And sit upon his Throne, The Twelve Apostles will sit upon there Thrones & Judge the Twelve tribes of Israel then is the time we expect to recieve our crown And inherit this earth.

President Young arose & said I wish to say a few words upon Principle I desire the brethren and sisters to be taught in all things necessary. There is one thing I want you to realize and that is that God, Angels, & Saints Heaven and all of Gods creation are governed by law and I want the Camp of Israel to understand that we must be and if Heaven was not controlled by law what for a place would it be I would not wish to be there for were we rushed into Heaven without law evry man would be in danger of loosing his rights & having them trampeld upon but all celestial beings are governed by law & perfect order yea the celestial law is a perfect order of things a perfect system of light, law, intelligence exhaltation & glory where evry persons rights are sustained to the fulest extent

President Young followed & said he could soon answer his mind did not fell [feel] much like preaching had to administer to the sick brethren [who] are labouring hard to keep soul and body together when I see the suffering that this people are enduring from the conduct of professed Christians I feel more like fighting & swearing than preaching for I see such strugling to live that I have feelings for the brethren to see them suffer for their religion I am glad I have not power for I should use it. when I have I shall have knowledge to use it. offenses must come but wo unto those by wholm they come. we are followed by wicked men who will lie about us & run to Missouri & say we are triying to kill them &c I hope such will go away & fall & die. Some are whineing because we will not strike hands with the devil I wish they knew right from wrong. the High Council are appointed to do business for the Church will they not do right yes they will regulate the affairs of cutting timber and all affairs for the benefit of the people. Some act selfish but I want to act for the good of all, because all things do not go to suit the convenienc of all some want to run to Mo but I want to let Mo alone

Meeting opened at 2 oclok PM at the Council Block. Meeting opened by prayer by O. Pratt who also remarked that we had suffered by the gentiles a long time; but had now gone out of there midst & hoped we should rest for a season from there grasp. had rather suffer the fatigues of this wilderness journey and live on game than suffer by mobs. would rather fall into the hands of God than a mob as God is more merciful. I have heard the prophet say that God could not controle the wicked at all times and let them act upon their agency without operating upon them as a machine. I am contented whare I am but should be more so if we had an abundanc of the necessaries of life, the mob at last have had courage after gathering & threatning for about 6 years to come against the Saints in Nauvoo from one thousand to twelve hundred men had came against one hundred of the Saints and have a pitched battle, but the Saints went out to battle in the name of God & their ene- mies were defeated.

Br Cutler arose and said I can bear my testim- ony that what Br Wells has said is strictly true according to the best of my knowledge. If I was to talk untill sun down the whole could not be told. I have been kept in Nauvoo by the hand of God others wanted to have been here and would have been had it not been necessary to have stoped to save our brethren there who could

President Young arose and said I wish to make a few remarks attached to the remarks that have been made. I will inform the brethren that have come up we are glad to see them. Br Cutler has been with us before. Br Wells has been in our society for several years and I have had considerable acquaintance with him and I am more than ever satisfyed with his course. we have prayed for our brethren con- tinually I am sensible there is a good deal of suffering there and here, but let me say the Lord God who has fed us all the day long, has his care still over us, when the Saints are chastened enough it will scease at least the hand of God will be visible in there salvation, some individuals may fall but the body will be sustained I have never believed the Lord would suffer a general Massacrce of this people by a mob. If 10,000 men were to come against us if no other way was open the earth would open and swallow them up some say they can stay in Nauvoo and can live there in perfet peace they are so righteous, there are some that have no better eyes than to say let me live with the wicked in peace but there blessings will be scearce with the mob, and if they do not leave I fear they will prove a scourge

The following are some of the important words that flowed from President Youngs lips as he addressed the people and called upon them loudly to repent he said you must stop your swearing, you must stop your cheating, you must stop your lying, you must stop your stealing you must stop your horedoms you must stop your back biteings, speaking evil of the Twelve speaking evil of me, you must stop these things & put away your wickedness or you will be damned, you will be destroyed you will be visited by pestilence and plague and by the sword, and you will fall to the ground and I warn you and fore warn you of these things if you do not repent
