“When the Lord has a people, he makes covenants with them and gives unto them promises: then, if they transgress his law, change his ordinances, and break the covenants he has made with them, he will put a mark upon them, as in the case of the Lamanites and other portions of the house of Israel; but by-and-by they will become a white and delightsome people.”Brigham Young, October 8, 1859 · Reorganization of the High Council—Appointment of Young Men to Offices in the Priesthood, &c · JD 7:335-338
