Autobiography Volume 2 circa 1865
In the evening of this day I repared to the Temple and
with Elder Orson Hyde and about 20 others of the Elders of Isreal all
dressed in our Priestly robes we dedicated the Temple of the Lord built
unto His most Holy Name by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-
day Saints
Notwithstanding the prophesies of Sydney
Rigdon and others that the roof should not go on and the House
of the Lord be finished and the threats of the mob that we should
not dedicate it we had finished the work of the Temple of
God and now dedicated it to his most holy name ^him^. After the
dedication we raised our voices in the united shout of Hosanna to
God and the Lamb.
After our dedication and the offering up of
our prayers for the Camp of Israel and that we might not be disturbed by
any mob during our further services of dedication we returned to our
homes thankful for the privilege which we had enjoyed in our evenings
service.
