[Brigham Young Sermon] Brigham Young said it was glory for him to sit and see the rain fall - it is worth 1,000ds of dollars to us - and gave out to build a room 100 by 150 feet and till in by water with adobies and make it comfortable to meet it let us build up cities here and by and by we shall be thought worthy to go and build up the waste places now we have to raise potatoes and grain and vegetables - its for planting and ditching and fencing and by and by build a tabernacle - have wards by themselves and put up stoves and we can be comfortable all day - I don't mean to be cheated next winter as we have been this but I want to meet with you all the time. -- SLC Bowery [Thomas Bullock Minutes, LJA; Thomas Bullock—LDS Church Reporter, 1844-56.C, Archives, Church History Library, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Salt Lake City, Utah.; GCM, Archives, Church History Library, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Salt Lake City, Utah..; Leonard J.
