I went to the Temple at an early hour
found the House filled Elder Phelps opened
by Prayer. I Addressed the Saints from
the words of Solomon "there is a time
to all things And for evry purpose under
heavens there is a season" [Ecclesiastes 3:1]

I was followed by A. Fielding B. Clapp
And others. I had a good day perhaps
the last time I shall preach in that House
