4[FIGURE] I rode to Logan and visited the Temple with
the Presidency and Twelve and the Architect Truman O
Angel Jr had got the platform on the South side of the font
as marked in black I told the company that the recorder
witnesseds and confirmers should be as near together as possible
at the south End so the administrator could hear the recorder
distinctly when the names are called off as I have marked it
in read. No architect in building a Temple who is not
thoroughly acquainted with giving Endowments should
go to work to build a Temple according to his own
ideas without consulting with the building committee
and the Presidency of the Church and those who do understand
what is necessary for the work of the Endowments. By
persuing this cource in Logan Temple Br Angel has made
many mistakes and much work has had to be undone
