Brigham's Call... This is my religion; we must bring them in from the plains. This is the salvation I am now seeking for, to save our brethren.

The Story
At General Conference on October 5, 1856, President Brigham Young announced that, “Many of our brethren and sisters are on the plains with hand-carts, and probably many are now seven hundred miles from this place, and they must be brought here, we must send assistance to them… This is my religion; we must bring them in from the plains. This is the salvation I am now seeking for, to save our brethren that would be apt to perish, or suffer extremely, if we do not send them assistance. I shall call upon the Bishops this day. I shall not wait until to-morrow, nor until next day, for sixty good mule teams and twelve or fifteen wagons.” – Brigham Young
