There is no principle on earth that I rejoice more in than in the power that we hold as Latter-day Saints to build these Temples, to go into them, and to redeem our dead. It will require im- mortal bodies, immortal spirits, im- mortal revelations to enable men to comprehend the full extent of this work; they cannot comprehend it in mortality.
There is no power on the face of this earth that can break this Church. Why? Because God holds it in His hands. He is the Author of it, and He has promised, through the mouths of scores and scores of prophets, that it shall stand. It is in fulfilment of these promises that you are blessed here with a Temple and have power to enter therin to attend to the ordinances of the House of the Lord. And when you reflect upon these matters, and see how far these things have been fulfilled, can you not have faith to believe that the Lord will carry it out to the end? I certainly have. I know it is the work of God. And the Lord has chosen this people, out of the whole human family, to stand in the flesh, keep the com- mandments of God, and go forth to warn the world by the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ that they may know and understand the judg- ments of God which await them
The day will come when many will seek a place of safety, that they may stand in holy places while the judgments of the Lord pass. Our young men will rise up in those days. They will remember their prayers before the Lord. Their minds will be opened to see the work that lies before them. A great deal has yet to be done, although the Lord will make short His work in the earth, lest no flesh be saved.
