mt nadi di v vi wall some mule and ox teams a 1 n w ti ta the ox ti ariam at n I 1 want wane to b ar them b fa speak this afternoon on the a ct of freighting with teams sent from he TL tie handcart hand cart system has been pretty well tro tr and if it a 0 handcart hand cart company start in ir arrer er season a and nd manage properly 1 I will v 11 i ui e to say that most of them can come in ti at a way more pleasantly than they generally c L p e with iv gous but drawing their v s olg ons etc is a hard task and it would be ci e satisfactory if we could manage it to I 1 ng n in wagons the freight and those who nho ar an unable to walk in 1834 1934 a corri company yany pany of us were called upon t go to missouri and in that trip the labor of walking V so far as we ve averaged in a day was very fatiguing A great many of that c tifany walked and we cooked by the way a as much as do those who travel across the p alas aias and we carried a greater weight than is generally carried by those who walk from t missouri river to this city this I 1 L 1 VT for I 1 was one of those who ilbo walked the whole distance in less than three months I 1 walked two thousand miles muss as far as to florence and back and others of the company did the same and instead ot 0 having 1 a healthy climate to walk 11 in we passed pass e I through oue one of the most deathly and sickly climates cht cli nates mattS in the united states which proved to me that most people can walk if they will try we ve now contemplate trying another plan if we can cango go with our teams to the Missour ii r ver and back in one seasor sea bea soi sol and bring tae poor their provisions etc it will save about half of the cash we now expend in bi ginging inguid g the saints to this point from europe V I 1 now costs in cash nearly as much for their thelt teams wagons hand carts cooking utensils provisions etc for their journey across the plains laing lains as it does to transport them to the frontiers frontiers we can raise cattle without an outlay of money and use thea them in transporting in X the saints from the frontiers and such H eight fleight as we may require brethren and sis ers save your fives tens fifties a hundred dollars or as much as you can until next spring con considering ii yourselves as it were a brinz t thousand ous nd miles from d a store and send your money nty your cattle and ani wagons to the states awbury your dour goods and freight 0 them twenty collars expended Ws tira war way will do you xou aa as x KS 1 1 f i much good as tle lve several beveral r al thane times s that amount moun t paid to U the stores here if i we can convince con yince the th e brethren a successful operation we shall endeavor to engage in it largely next year we wish to send tro two tto or three hundred wagons with two or three yokes of 0 cattle to a light chicago wagon if you have not the wagons you can wend send the money and bu buy them in this way where we could emigrate a hundred from liverpool Liver livera ol to this place by the old method we can emigrate some two hundred by going to the frontiers and bringing them this will facilitate by almost half the gathering of the saints and at the sarrie same time enable u us a to procure at cheap rates such articles do as we do apt not produce 1 I wish the brethren to grasp in in their faith tnt facts that will be presented and believe that we can cari do all that we say we can and then be ready to do it we have plenty of cattle and can send them and they will perform the journey as well as horses or mules with far less risk of their being bein stolen on the plains I 1 wish the bishops to improve upon t the be counsel I 1 gave them this morning b receiving it as kindly as it was given for we only desire to turn i the current of our business transactions into the channel that will most conduce to the welfare of all the saints I 1 also want them to present to their wards the plan of sending teams to the frontier and I 1 want the men who i think and write to send to the editor of the j deseret news articles about sending teams to the states to bring our poor brethren and our freight and to take ou out and bring back our missionaries last spring our elders went down with the trains at a saving of some two thousand dollars in cash andon and on reaching the frontier were pr prepared epa tred to go on their way rejoicing and when they return I 1 anticipate the honor bonor honor of our teams bringing them back as poor as they went that they will not return as merchants for if it they do from this time forth the curse of god will rest upon them and they will lose the spirit of their religion and apostatise apostatize I 1 want them to so respect their missions themselves their brethren their religion and our god a as to return poor in regard re ard to gold silver etc but rich in gathering the to souls of the children of men to this where we can chasten them and prove whether they are saints or noti not and where the lord will have the privilege of proving them elther either to be saints or unworthy of the kingdom i I 1 will now call upon br E D woolley to elates preach states reach a sermon about ox trains going to the god bless you amen |
