[Brigham Young Discourse] The saints assembled. I requested those who intended to go westward and could not outfit, to separate themselves from the congregation, which the majority did. It was voted that all who remained form together in one large field and that all who would not should be disfellowshipped. I told the saints that all who should start not fully supplied must suffer the consequences and must not expect assistance from others. Orson Pratt Journals, 351. Addressed by President Young, who requested them to separate into two parties that he might know those who were intending to stay and cultivate the land for a season from those who are going west with the Twelve. -- Mount Pisgah, Iowa [Manuscript History of Brigham Young, 1846- 1847.
