The Latter-day Saints are known
and distinguished % Temple 0ullu-
ing people. They, in common with
religious bodies in general, build
houses OF worship. which Tor the dh-
ferent sects range from humble
chapels to great churches, Imposing
synagogs. spacious tAheYnacies and
stately eathedrals: but for none OF
these edifces is the claim advanced
that they are Temples in the true ana
specific sense OF the term.
Be it remembered that Temples
are not designed for purposes OF gen.
eral assembly or congregational wor-
ship as are church buildings in gen.
eral, but for the administration OF
sacred ordinances. 1t Is both inter
.esting and instructive TO note that
this characteristic applies alike TO
heatnen temples and to exclusive
Isznctuaries reared to the name Of
the true and living God. In pagan
temples Of olden time, the altar of
sacrifice stood at the entrance; and
though devotees thronged about the
altar, noae but the onieiating priests
were admitted TO the actual shrine
within the temple itself.
So also with the Tabernacle Of the
Congregation, which was portable
sanctuary, Constructed by the Israel
ties IN their migration from Egypt:
and so with the imposing Temples Of
Solomon, Zerubbahel and Herod. in
each Of which were spacioss courts
|e1closed By outer walls, with altar
and other equipment, within which
courts the people coureEated; but
the sanctuary itself was . relatively
small structure, reserved for the most
holy ordinances and ceremonial min
iistry. Similarly the Temples erected
and maintained by the LAtter-day
Saints are reserved for the solemn
izing Of sacred ordinances, and are
ldistinctively other than meeting
houses used for public worship.
True to the Divine commission laid
upon Israel. the Nephite colonists
erected Temple on the Western
Continent as early rs $40 B. c., about
thirty years after their exodus from
jerusalem. The Book 81 Mormon in
forms us that this structure was pat
termed after the Temple of Solomon.

The birds are singing in the snow,
Beneath leaden sky;
Rare mystery this-how they can tell
Midst present storm- that Winters grip
Is loosed, and they are free TO greet
With joy, the coming spring
The snowdrop Lifts her tiny head
From out the hard brown earth;
A miracle fndeed-hov slender
Stem and snowy petals push all obstacles
Aside, and rise above the sod,
isappy to welcome spring
Off dull and cold and hard we seem
Until Love comes to open wide
Our earthbound hearts, and we begin
To feel within us stir some magic of soft
Tenderness that breaks all barriers down
Then too, we welcome spring.
