In all things be temperate; abstain from drunkenness, and from swearing, and from all profane language, and from everything which is unrighteous or unholy; also from enmity, and hatred, and covetousness, and from every unholy desire. Be honest one with another. (Joseph Smith, History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 7 Vols. 3:233)
What added greatly to the happiness we experienced on this interesting occasion, is the fact that we heard no obscene or profane language; neither saw we any one intoxicated. Can the same be said of a similar assemblage in any other city in the Union? Thank God that the intoxicating beverage, the bane of humanity in these last days, is becoming a stranger in Nauvoo. (Joseph Smith, History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 7 Vols. 4:330-31)
