Not sure if this has been posted before recently. I happened to be looking up a completely different topic (plural marriage) and by serendipity chanced upon this little gem and couldn't resist saving it. It's at the JoD free online text at the link below.


Brigham Young, “Proper Conduct in Meeting.”
JoD Vol. 13, May 5, 1870.

"Here is another subject I wish to refer to. Last Sabbath this front gallery, the gentleman's gallery, was very full. After meeting was dismissed I took a walk through it, and to see the floor that had been occupied by those professing to be gentlemen, and I do not know but brethren, you might have supposed that cattle had been there rolling and standing around, for here and there were great quids of tobacco, and places one or two feet square smeared with tobacco juice. I want to say to the doorkeepers that when you see gentlemen who cannot omit chewing and spitting while in this house, request them to leave; and if such persons refuse to leave, and continue their spitting, just take them and lead them out carefully and kindly. We do not want to have the house thus defiled." (Ibid.)
