Brigham Young was comparing his age to Thomas Marsh who claimed he [Marsh] was too old; Young was saying he they were roughly the same age but he [Young] hadn’t aged as much due to “the Spirit of God.” The full quote: “He [Marsh] has told you that he is an old man. Do you think that I am an old man? I could prove to this congregation that I am young; for I could find more girls who would choose me for a husband than can any of the young men.

What do you think the difference is between his age and mine?
