Mormon History, Dec 16, 1848 (Council Meeting)

[Brigham Young Sermon] Pres. B. Y. said that natural feelings would say let them and their cattle go to hell, but duty says if they will not take care of their cattle, we must do it for them. We are to be saviours of men in these last days. They don't be bluffed off by insults or abuse. -- Salt Lake City [A Mormon Chronicle: The Diaries of John D. Lee. 1848-1876. Robert Glass Cleland and Juanita Brooks, eds. San Marino, California: Huntington Library Press, 2003 ed. 82]
