Ghost would give rover Ia thuif usti-
mouy, and that Spirit could be enjoyed
only through living according to the
requirements OF the Lord. An especial
opportunity was given 20 us ut present
to show our Willingness 10 obey tho
will Of GOD 10y completing the Temple
in this city before tho hixth NJ next
April. III was Thought last April that

was found that about $500, 001 would he

This would require some sacrifice nj
/ the hands Of the Latter.rnv s1fnte.

served upon The earth 10 TAX. mart in
/ the dedication OF that Temple. Con-
eiderlng the blessings ahowered upon
the Saints, they ahOuld be- able aud
willing 90 put forth nu extra effort 10
the end thst ID might boz dedicated ut
the appointed timc.
Great privileges would te enjoyed by
the Saints who participated no the
dedicatory services In the Temple. II
had been decided that the deilcatory
services should be conducted ~ that
every Latierday Saint worthy TO enter
the building might witness them.
| They would be continued from day 20
day until this privilege was given to
everyone who was worthy. We would
/ all feel better then n the Temple should
be entirely free from debt nud
especially VI individually We mad con-
| ttlbuied means Il ward it completion.
There was Necessity that we pre-.

The speaker was griove4 10 state that
cafelossness AMI indifference we're
sprlnging up among the people, eepec-
Tally with regnfi u prayer aud par
taking Of the Sacrament.
Tue necessity of obtaining reliable
Information regarding the true status
Of NIL the people Of Zion, was dwelt
upon, and energetic labor OF correction
aud counsel was advised. Great aud
careful labor would hes required 10 re.
deem the people from the sins of the
world. Hence the necessity that each
mau should hold the Priesthood,
that lac might bo savior
to himself and n worker Of
Righteousness. II each performs this
work Tor himself, the will NJ God
would be done, and nil would bu ex.
emplars and teachers Of righteousness
among the people. This1uty was not
required OF thse high In authority,
any more than OF those holding a
lower degree ana Office OF the Priest
hood. Each should make q record OF
righteousness for himself and In this
condition We should be when We en-
tered the temple. AL should feel well
towards each other, that nothing
might hinder the free flow OF thr Spirit
OF God in Ills temple at it, dedication.
Let us reform for tho noXt six
months, freezing ourselves from sin
and iniquity; mol waiting until tho day
OF dedication, but reforming every day
from this time on. Let ue live for the
blessings Of God, that We might have
constant communication with heaye u.
God Is anxious TO bless US and
|
favorg and His inspiration upon us.
We should he careful toward our
children, TO itnhle them with love for
the work OF God, that they might be n
source OF strength 10 Israel. May God
bless HE people with ability TO com.
plete that eJifce and with worthiness
to enter II ut its dedication.
