| QUOTE OF THE DAY John Taylor |
|
“Why do we build temples? Because Elijah conferred certain keys which he held upon Joseph Smith. And when he laid his hands upon elders conferring on them the holy priesthood, they carried the principles imparted by Elijah to Joseph to you and to others. … And by and by as the church began to gather together, we began to talk about building temples in which to receive and to administer ordinances which had been revealed unto Joseph Smith, pertaining to the interest of the living and the dead and necessary to our salvation and exaltation in the kingdom of our God, as well as for those for whom we administer. And we have not only talked about it but have done considerable in that direction” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: John Taylor, p. 185).

1877 - While President of the St. George Temple, Wilford Woodruff recorded in his journal the following: visit from George Washington: “You have had the use of the Endowment House for a number of years, and yet nothing has ever been done for us. We laid the foundation of the government you now enjoy, and we never apostatized from it, but we remained true to it and were faithful to God.” Wilford Woodruff then called upon Brother John D.T. McCallister to baptize him for the signers of the Declaration of Independence, as well as fifty other renowned men. The temple work for their wives and native American leaders would take place shortly thereafter.

Glorious Truths about Women of the Restoration by Susan Easton Black
The early Church included hundreds of men and women who lived remarkable lives of faith and determination, whose stories can strengthen us in our own experiences. Among the most notable of these individuals are the women who knew and bore testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith, yet many of their stories have been overlooked—until now. In Glorious Truths about Women of the Restoration, best-selling author Susan Easton Black offers accounts of fifty stalwart sisters who were witnesses of the Restoration. Their profiles of faith provide glimpses into the personal and spiritual lives of those whose courage and convictions of sacred truth paved the way for generations to come.Accompanying the words and experiences of these early Saints are life lessons that will help readers recognize the strength that can be found in the past. As the Restoration of the gospel continues today, these snapshots of faith provide a powerful reminder that you are not alone— God is with you along your covenant path.
