[Brigham Young Sermon] President Young called upon the brethren of the Twelve separately for their opinion, which was in substance was as follows: '" That they considered they were both to blame, of the two, Bro. George the most so. '" after which the President addressed himself to Bro. George & told him, that he was an old man, & should learn to respect himself, & he would be respected & quit all his boyish motions & not condescend to the manners of boys but set a good example before them. He then told Bro. Andrew that he was to blame for striking Bro. George & that it was his duty at all times to respect old age '" Both parties finally acknowledged themselves to be in the wrong, & asked the forgiveness of the brethren which was cheerfully granted '" The President then called upon the captains of 10's to know if they knew of anything to hinder our departure to morrow. They replied in the negative accordingly it was voted & carried that we start early to morrow morning. -- Utah-Wyoming Border [Horace K.
