“I am glad the time of our Exodus has come; I have looked for it for years,” penned Heber C. Kimball. “There may be individuals who will look at their pretty houses and gardens and say, ‘it is hard to leave them;’ but I tell you, when we start, you will put on your knapsacks, and follow after us.” John Taylor assured the Saints, “The power that made Nauvoo, that gathered thousands from various climes and kingdoms, that reared the temple, and that whispers to us now, ‘peace be still, and see the salvation of God,’ can guide us to bring forth a better city and hundred fold of gathering, and five times as good a temple.” Parley P. Pratt declared, “The Lord designs to lead us to a wider field of action, where there will be more room for the Saints to grow and increase, and where there will be no one to say we crowd them.”
