do the things which god requires of us we shall be whiped till we
are sore this is the ownly thing that will save us I now
tell you that those that are gone & going to Calafornia without
counsel will kettch it till they are sore I know the truth but I cann-
ot tell it all to you untill God permits me to do it now if you have
not confidence in me to follow me & believe that I am doing right
drop me and appoint another & I will follow in the wake.

In the begining of this work God tried to get this people to be
one but they would not be one. {shorthand} will now tell you what to do
God intends to make you one you must be one & their must be a
begining to this and you must begin in small things like child[re]n
making cob Houses the people went to Missouri & there they
quarrelled about many small matters then God said I will throw
dow[n] their good houses & God pdroved all the people out & they thought
they were knocked into pi[eces] did they do any better then. no they did not.
God tries the people both in riches & with poverty. if I will be faithful in my poverty I will
own all riches that is needful. now if God wants us to be of one heart & one mind now he
may have no ^other^ motive in view than to make us work together he will tell us to build fences &
forts that our feelings & interest may be united in something now will you do it? we are required
to become of one heart & mind & work together in those little things that we do understand
or else we could not be prepared to work together and be one in those eternal things which we
do not understand therefore we could not enter into the kingdom of God. it is nothing but the
power of God that has preserved this settlement. the Indians could have killed every man
woman & child here, & not a man had a gun ready to defend himself. when you have
become of one heart & mind he has treasures for you & has given us capacity to see if we
will magnify our calling with every thing we have to do in our lives. we are approaching
very swiftly the time when Jesus will come to see if we are of one heart & mind which the
Prophet Joseph said would be in this generation & will manifest himself to the Saints & take
up his abode with him. this was said 24 years ago & in 26 years more if we r not prepared
to meet Jesus & angels we shall be wiped out & sent to hell. we r fast approaching the time
I do not care what was done in the morning of creation or the days of Noah. I want to know
what this people will do. will you be Saints & live your religion & magnify your callings in the Church
I will now tell this people what they should do. I will tell the Bishop in the presence of the people
what to do. Bishop I tell you, go & start this wall & build it 6 feet thick & 12 or 14 feet high
shut up every gate except two & then you can lay down in safety & an enemy cannot come
upon you. if this is not the will of the Lord I do know it is my will & you should not question any
further. God wants it done & I want it done & dont stop until you are secured & that is enough
your stacks have been so placed that one Indian could fire all this place & others shoot you down
while you are fighting the fire. what if the people in Jackson C^o had been good & been sanctified
what would have been the situation of the people. why, the liars & goats would have had their heads
cut off but the wheat & tares had to be transplanted together in the wilderness. it was not the act
of Joseph that caused the removal of this people. it is the people that govern & control which is the
democracy of heaven. the democracy of earth is division and mark it, there will be a division
here before long among this people. now if you will all do right & live a holy life angels will come
& visit us & sta[y] with us all night & you will have many revelations & be happy. we know we ought
to pra[y] & would not neglect it, if we loved the Lord. you may do just as you have a mind to
when I am gone but I beg & beseech of you to do right. I want you to build a strong wall & be
safe so that whatever comes along you may be secure & bar your gates & be careful & dont let the
devil reign in you & all will be right & God bless you & I bless you. let us be ^of^ one heart & mind
in the things that we do comprehend & then we shall be one in things we shall hereafter know.

Pres[ident] H C Kimball it is not my place to get up to reveal any thing for it is the head to convey
it to the body but it is for me to carry out his designs & do his will for when I do the will of
Pres[ident] young I do the will of God & no man can get salvation unless he keeps his council

it is his will that the city should be walled & fortified & that is my will. when I do just
