[Brigham Young Sermon] If we every have a police these are the men - if we swell this body, all right - it is the duty of every individual to see what is going on - at every meeting and see every nook and corner and when a thing has to be done - go and do it without orders - because we live by the living oracles and others go by the dead letter - Horace is the Marshal - the deputies are nothing but the name the power is same as his - these men should set an example worthy of imitation - in word and action - and if not, they are not fit for a Marshal - they ought to have their eyes open and show themselves approved - be peace makers - your warrants and writs are always in your power. -- Salt Lake City [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.
