00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:01.730 align:middle line:90%
Brigham Young was a man of

00:00:01.730 --> 00:00:04.600 align:middle line:90%
sacrifice, work, and obedience.

00:00:04.600 --> 00:00:08.470 align:middle line:90%
Despite illness, hardship, poverty, or danger, he never

00:00:08.470 --> 00:00:09.890 align:middle line:90%
shirked from the Lord's work.

00:00:09.890 --> 00:00:12.750 align:middle line:90%


00:00:12.750 --> 00:00:16.130 align:middle line:90%
We have seemingly sacrificed a great deal, and passed through

00:00:16.130 --> 00:00:20.410 align:middle line:90%
many scenes of trial and temptations, no doubt of this.

00:00:20.410 --> 00:00:24.670 align:middle line:90%
I have, myself, five times before I came to this valley,

00:00:24.670 --> 00:00:28.170 align:middle line:90%
left everything that the Lord had blessed me with pertaining

00:00:28.170 --> 00:00:30.440 align:middle line:90%
to this world's goods.

00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:34.210 align:middle line:90%
In the face of persecution and hardship, he was a fearless,

00:00:34.210 --> 00:00:36.880 align:middle line:90%
obedient servant of the Lord.

00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.890 align:middle line:90%
Let us alone, and we will send Elders to the uttermost parts

00:00:39.890 --> 00:00:43.740 align:middle line:90%
of the earth, and gather out Israel, wherever they are; and

00:00:43.740 --> 00:00:46.940 align:middle line:90%
if you persecute us, we would do it the quicker, because we

00:00:46.940 --> 00:00:49.330 align:middle line:90%
are naturally dull when let alone.

00:00:49.330 --> 00:00:52.880 align:middle line:90%
But if you persecute us, we will sit up nights to preach

00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:55.100 align:middle line:90%
the Gospel.

00:00:55.100 --> 00:00:58.740 align:middle line:90%
Even in his old age, Brigham Young endured to the end,

00:00:58.740 --> 00:01:02.380 align:middle line:90%
maintaining a work ethic that did not diminish.

00:01:02.380 --> 00:01:06.350 align:middle line:90%
As to my health, I feel many times that I could not live an

00:01:06.350 --> 00:01:08.050 align:middle line:90%
hour longer.

00:01:08.050 --> 00:01:11.020 align:middle line:90%
But I mean to live just as long as I can.

00:01:11.020 --> 00:01:15.090 align:middle line:90%
I know not how soon the messenger will call for me,

00:01:15.090 --> 00:01:18.300 align:middle line:90%
but I calculate to die in the harness.

00:01:18.300 --> 00:01:27.100 align:middle line:90%
