  This people is addicted to, and it is a fault, to be always searching after doctrine, and never improving upon what they have; they want something new, something they never heard. I doubt you have not heard all I have said this day. Get up here, ye Elders of Israel, and tell what is in you! It is hard work to get a man to come on this stand, to feed the flock; how dormant you are. But many of the Elders say they want to go away and to preach to the people in the world. Is there any bigger folks than we are, that would hear you? Yes there is. Ye Elders of Israel, ye men of God, how much do you know about the Kingdom of God? and yet ye are always wanting to know something more, when you ought to improve upon what you have. “

  President Brigham Young
