“Brethren, we are gathering to this beautiful land to build up Zion . . . But since I have been here I perceive the spirit of selfishness, covetousness exists in the hearts of the saints . . . Here are those who are beginning to spread out, buying up all the land they are able to do; . . . thinking to lay foundations for themselves only, looking to their own individual families . . . Now I want to tell you that Zion cannot be built up in any such way . . . ”
