HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"We can carry this Temple forward with our labor, without any burden to ourselves if our hearts are in the work, and we will be blessed abundantly in doing so. We will be better off in our temporal affairs when it is completed than when we commenced."
—Brigham Young
