Mormon History, Jul 25, 1847

[Brigham Young Sermon] Brother Young called the attention of the brethren a few moments. He said he hoped all those who had found articles of any description on the road would make it know, that the owners might get them. He said a dishonest man was a curse to the saints, and he might live with them 969 years and go to hell and be damned at last. He said that if a man retained anything which did not belong to him, it would leak out in the course of time, and it would prove a curse to him, and would be a stain on him and his posterity that never would be wiped out in time and throughout all eternity, and the stain never would be wiped out until it was burned out in hell. -- Salt Lake City [Pioneering the West 1846 to 1878: Major Howard EganÂ's Diary. Howard R. Egan, ed. Salt Lake City, 1917. 108]
