[Brigham Young Discourse] I said that two hundred and fifty pounds of flour, salt and so forth would be required by each person. One wagon, four oxen or mules and one cow to every four persons. Elder O. Pratt read a bill of particulars for an outfit for fifteen months. Elder Kimball laid before the meeting the decision of the Council in relation to selling the Temples at Nauvoo and Kirtland, and all other Church property at those places, for the purpose of getting means to help the poor saints from Nauvoo. William C. Staines Journal. Spoke of the time when the brute creation would be perfectly docile and harmless. It would be brought about by our faith and patience. That we should not kill the rattlesnakes but should cultivate the spirit of peace with them. Saw two of them in his travels, told them to move out of the way and they did, that Brother Joseph taught this when the camp went to Missouri thirteen years ago. As long as the brute creature sees anything to harm them, so long the enmity will exist. -- Garden Grove, Iowa [Manuscript History of Brigham Young, 1846- 1847. Elden J. Watson, ed.
