administer in any of the ordinances of life and salvation within
the walls of this House And all thy People who Enter the threshhold
of this Temple may they feel thy power and be constrained to
acknowledge that the Power of God rests upon it And we ask
in the name of Jesus Christ the son of the living God that the prayer
offerd up in the further dedications of other parts of this house this
day or at any future time in the dedication of this house by
those holding the Apostleship or Holy Priesthood that there prayers
may enter into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth and be answered
upon the heads of thy people. [Doctrine and Covenants 88:2] O Lord be not angry with thy
servants while we continue our supplications befor thee in
this the Temple of our God. Thou has said that thou would
take unto thyself them whom thou woulds take and preserve
in life them whom thou wouldst preserve. Thou hast taken
unto thyself thine aged servant Joseph Smith the Patriarch,
and his sons Joseph, Hiram, Carloss & Samuel and many
others of thy servants. But thou hast raised up unto thyself
thy servant Brigham Young as a Lawgiver unto Israel and
a leader of thy People. Thou has taken unto thyself his councellors
Willard, Jedediah, Heber and George A. Yet thou hast
sustained thy servant Brigham for a generation as
men count time by the right hand of thy power. He has
been with thy people through all their afflictions and per-
secutions and led them to these mountains of Israel and guided
and directed the settlements of thy saints and all the affairs
of Zion as inspired by the power of God in this the last dispensation
and fulness of times in the which thou hast said thou wouldst
Esstablish thy kingdom to be thrown down not more forever
