Plastering, cornice, ornamental work and all things
appertaining thereto that Evry thing may be Holy and consec-
rated unto Thee. We dedicate the stand the pulpit the seats the
floor the Boards the paint and evry thing belonging thereto
also the Benches and seats in this room that they may be Holy
unto the Lord
And we pray that this dedication, may
be acceptable, that this house and the ground whare on it stands
may be Holy unto Thee, and we ask that thy Blessings may rest
upon the Bishops and Priests and Elders who may occupy this
stand that they may be inspired to speak unto the Edifycation
of this people and that they may magnify the Holy Priesthood
given unto them. And we pray that this House may be clean
and every thing clean and pure which dwells therein
O God the Eternal Father we dedicate this House unto thee
and thy Kingdom for the purpose of Preaching, teaching,
instruction, singing & prayer, and for the teaching of Our
Children, and for Lawful and innocent recreation. We pray
that thy protecting care may be over this House, that it may be
protected from fire and winds and Every Evil Element
And O God we pray that the spirit and power of darkness
may have no dominion here. That thy saints may inherit
this place in peace, that no Enemy may have power in
this House. And should the day Ever come that the Enemies
of thy Saints should have dominion in this Land grant that
this Building may be destroyed from the foundation and not
one stone left upon another that the wicked and unholy may
never inherit this House, nor this City nor any of the Houses
of thy Saints which have been dedicated unto thee Grant to accept
of this dedication we beseech of Thee that thy spirit may
rule and reign in this House, and may thy Saints not worship
this House nor any thing appertaining to this Earth, But may
they worship the Lord of Hosts and help do thy will and
Esstablish thy kingdom upon the Earth. And if anything there
be pertaining to this Building or the ground upon which it stands that
we have not named before thee Grant that it may be Holy, that all things
pertaining thereto with the dedication thereof may be acceptable unto Thee
which we ask in the name of Jesus Christ Our Redeemer Amen
