[Brigham Young Sermon] In the afternoon the brethren were addressed by President Young who stated that he approved of what the brethren was going this fall, that another spring every one would have his inheritance and he must cultivate it. He told the brethren to cheer up their spirits, as the brethren reported plenty of timber in the mountains, and also on two large streams higher up the valley towards the Utah Lake, there was plenty of timber and requested those brethren who had found anything to bring it forward, to restore it to its owner, for rest assured if any one found a thing and did not restore it to the owner, it would one day leak out and it would be a curse in his nose all the days of his life. -- Salt Lake City [Pioneer Camp of the Saints, Journals of Thomas Bullock.
