D&C 101:45
And set watchmen round about them, and build a tower, that one may overlook the land round about, to be a watchman upon the tower, that mine olive trees may not be broken down when the enemy shall come to spoil and take upon themselves the fruit of my vineyard.

D&C 101:53
Ought ye not to have done even as I commanded you, and-- after ye had planted the vineyard, and built the hedge round about, and set watchmen upon the walls thereof-- built the tower also, and set a watchman upon the tower, and watched for my vineyard, and not have fallen asleep, lest the enemy should come upon you?
