That Temple was built in the Town of Kirtland Geauga Co Ohio
He received the priesthood in his youth, and He was but a boy
when He went up in Zions Camp for the redemption of zion
in 1834, forty one years before his death, and He has labored
diligently for the building up of the kingdom to the day of his death.
He has been true and faithful in his labor & Testimony to
the End. No two men have been more closely allied together
in the Church and Kingdom of God on the Earth in the last days
than George A. Smith & Wilford Woodruff, for Forty One years
past we went together in Zions Camp. we travelled together on
mission through the United States, we were Ordained at the
same time into the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. On the Cornor
stone of the Temple of Far West Caldwell Co Mo, in 1838. we
travelled together through England, built up the Church in London
together in connexion with Heber C Kimball. we returned home
together on the same ship sleeping in the same birth we have labored
together for Fifteen years as Historians in the same office, we had
labored together as Legislative Councellors for Many years in Salt Lake City, And I can bear testimony of a truth that
in all our labors and associations together under all these
circumstances there never was an unplesant word passed
between us in our lives, and we have administered in many
of the Holy Ordinances together in the flesh and to day He is ming-
ling with the most Noble Spirits in his ministry & Priesthood in
the Eternal world, and He is pure and Holy. He has fought a good
fight & gained the victory, and He is prepared to come forth in
the morning of the first Resurrection, clothed with glory, immortality
and pass by the Angels & the Gods to his crown Throne & Kingdom and
mingle with the Gods Forever
