remarks upon it. At the close of the Meeting I went on to the top
of the Tower of the Temple in the rain and had a view of the
different departments of the Temple and found the work going
on vary well but I find a Number of changes have had
to be made in the arangements of the Temple from the origional
Plan in order to prepare for the work of the Temple this is
for the want of a thorough Knowledge by the Architect of
what was needed in the work of a temple so that he could
have drawn the original plan correctly. we Met in the

President Taylor said when we go to the spirit world
we go Naked as we came into the world, and if we got any
clothing we shall be dependent upon somebody for it as we were
when born in the flesh so if we get a Mansion in our Fathers
Kingdom we shall be dependent upon him
