... We want the poor Mormons ... to mark the carpets, mirrors, the curtains and the rest, and then to go home and look at the squalor of their own homes, their unkempt wives, their miserable children growing up in despair and ignorance, and then to reflect how much better it would have been for them, instead of working hard for wages ... if they had only started out as did Uncle John, determined to serve God for nothing but hash."
... We wish the impoverished Mormons ... to adorn their floors, glass surfaces, window treatments and other items, and then return home to survey the squalor of their own dwellings, their unkept spouses, their pitiful children growing up in desperation and illiteracy, and then ponder how much more advantageous it would have been for them, instead of laboring diligently for wages ... if they had only begun like Uncle John, resolute in serving God without compensation but for sustenance.
