Master on the cross, declared that while His body lay in the tomb for three daps, his spirit went and preached to the spirits in prison, these are his words:
 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God. be- ing put to death in the flesh but quickened by the spirit. by which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison.
 (Which sometimes were disobed- tent, when once the long suffering while the ark was preparing. q Peter 1S:2O)
 Peter in the fourth chapter sixth verse explains the significance of the Savior's visit to the spirits in pri- son." when he says. ''For this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.''
 And the Apostle Paul. In his great argument, that there is to be a resur- rection. said: "Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead. if the dead rise not at all Why are they baptized for the dead?''
 Genealogy among the Latter Day Saints dates back to the dedication of the Kirtland Temple. at Kirtland, Ohio, April 3, 1886. The Lord, be revelation had commanded the people to build a temple in this spot, giving also by revelation the detailed dimen- sions thereof. The saints, with noble sacrifice, had devoted their time and means, amid great hardship and pri- fn slnrSpGnfinnG they were already receiving, for the construction of this sacred building.
 The building was completed in three years. Prior to the dedication services, and for months the Prophet Joseph Smith and his associates had labored and sought to complete the church organization, and set in order to quorums of the priesthood, and instruct each in the duties of their calling. Especially had be labored to remove all envy and strife from the people, and to bring them to a great harmony and love for each other, and to an unity of the faith, in the work of the Lord. that they might be accepted of Him.
 The dedicatory services occupied three days. The beautiful dedicatory prayer-a revelation from God-the speaking, the songs, and "hozannas" were repeated each day for benefit of the saints, not able to attend the first day, and was wonderful occa- sion of spiritual uplift, and of glor- ious manifestation of Gods love and mercy.
 The first evening of the dedica- ton, a priesthood meeting assembled in the Temple, and a glorious mani festation-a pentecostal manifesto tion-was given them. While Apostle George A. Smith was speaking he began to prophecy, when a noise was heard like a rushing mighty wind, which filled the Temple. and the con- gregation simultaneously arose, being moved by invisible power many began ! to speak in tongues and prophecy;

others saw glorious visions - and Joseph declared to the congregation that the Temple was filled with angels.
 The people of the neighborhood came running together hearing an unusual sound within and seeing light like a pillar of fire resting upon the Temple, and were astonished at what was taking place.
 Then or the afternoon of the third of April after short service in the temple and the administration of the sacrament by the F apostles, Jo- seph Smith and Oliver Cowdery re- tired to the pulpit Ga division of the Temple, the Holy of Holies), and dropped the vails shutting them off from the congregation, and bowed in humble, solemn and silent prayer. After rising from prayer a wonder full vision was manifested to them.

 '3. His eyes were as a flame of fire, the hair of his head was white like the pure snow, his countenance shown abov. the brightness of the sun. and his voice was as the sound of the rushing of great waters, even the voice of Jehovah, saying:
