third ward par 13 A 0 SHOOT said baid I 1 am to return homo home horn from my brief visit to the koplo Irio plo ai logan PO for four years pat past I 1 had been ant acx lous ius for the opportunity of visiting either the logan or st ge geTem a tem pie especially binco bince their comp completion complesi leti on I 1 final finally y resolved resol vel in my mind to go and nd I 1 did govind now say ayI I 1 enjoyed toy my visit to the temple ot of our conr god very much indeed there it is a very good spin spirit it there it is is heavenly anti aud serene it is is tho only ploce of that kind that I 1 hiiva have found since I 1 was in in the temple tern pi 0 at nam nauvoo we can not very easily throw off the cares and burdens ot of life and enter fully anco of those connected with the redemption odthe of the co and the tha dead all that is is necessary however to do is la to lay asido aside the and woes boes of oc lift life and with baarts antl and minds to hotbo abo work enter upon the performance of these bacare sacred d ordinances the house ot of god is is holy that fact has been moro more forcibly than ever impressed upon my mind within tho past three weeks everything is is done dona there by documentary evidence evid once there are records kept ot of tho the car certificates ot of all and every one that enters that house and every person enters entera it with a document touching for or his bis good faith standing and fellowship in in the church of 0 jesus christ of latter day saints sainta also their acce accept tance anca of every principle odthe 00 gospel apt this ev evidence is supposed to convey this I 1 that the person entering that bat house is la a full aerson oliever believer of and in full follow fellow ship with the doctrines ot of the church cither he be would not lie be entitled botho blessings bestowed therein if the tha recommend this person LUCKS brings does doea not bear such evidence upon its ita face together with the signatures of the of his hia ward the dent of his bis stake and the president of the tha church he is la not accounted worthy of receiving the blessings this ibis order must bo be observed before you enter the sacred precincts pre cineta of the demple of god I 1 am sorry to bay any I 1 that bat the evidence is is not always true in the first place the teachers who report to the bishop are not lar jar enough to find out the true char acte faith and standing of the party they recommend in ID the see eo ond nd place tho the bishop in in some in stances is is almost unpardonably reck rack less in endorsing tiona liolis so BO given in in fact individual the Bis lopi sometimes aware that individuals are r not strictly living iving according to their r covenants in the church in the third place if the pei son wishing for the recommend happens to be ba a alar friend of the teacher or the bish ophe ep fie is is favored when he be should not be it is ill supposed that the aba bishop knows every man in in his ward and his stand leg ing in the church and it la is therefore on his part when an un worth worthy man is recommended lie he should not recommend any T one n be cause he fools feels under some borne ohl obligation i gt to that person the president of the church endorses recommends pro pra dented to him with an assurance that the bishop and biake president whose signature ore are thereupon ire gro men to be relied on to recommend people tor for the blessings blossic ga ol of the house of 0 the are ia is an injury to those people as well at as to their presiding officers great re sp 0 rest upon the bishops of th tho 0 wards in every case where tho the person desirous of obtaining a becom mend is a stranger alra nget to him he should take pains pains to learn whether the per son is in in full fellowship with the church and its doctrines or not and among abo those so doctrines that of plural marriage marri aKe that he be is is a moral man in in every sense amao of the word the house of god is is a house of order and all high and low are amenable to the rules therein required A president or an apostle is required to LIB his recommend duly daly signed signal in in the manner described as is is the humblest member of the church this order is is strictly observed at the logan temple and carries carnea with it force forca and dignity there are instances in where bonfi denes
