Yesterday’s answer:
(D) Brigham Young
“Suppose I should appoint a meeting for
tonight,” President Young complained in 1851, “about a dozen [members] would
come, [and] without any candles.” Social activity brought a different
response. “If I were to say-level this stand for the band that we may have a
dance, they would bring the stoves from their wives’ bedsides, and would dance
all night, and the house would be filled to overflowing.” Such behavior had
Young alternating between wanting to “cuff every elders ears” to weeping “over
their follies.”

reporting a sermon of 29 December 1850.
