Revival
I had no idea that the saints had ever been told to repent and then be rebabtized and confirmed in chapt. 16. What was it that had set Jeddy off on his rants of cleanliness both in spirituality and outward appearances? Since he had been a missionary in the beginning of the church I am surprised at his lack of compassion for the gentiles in Utah. Why didn't he just try and convert everyone?

This part of LDS history seems be somewhat obscure. Grant was not a major character for me before this book. During this period of time it seems that not many gentiles were in Utah and that Grant felt that the members should know and live the gospel principles. It wasn't a matter of converting people who didn't know, but toeing the line on what had already been asked.
