Book Description

Excerpt from The Relief Society Magazine, Vol. 4: January, 1917 Presidency of the Church and the General Board of the Gen eulogical Society of Utah, together with the Presidents of the various temples have expressed commendation and appreciation of the work done by the sisters in this matter. We should not slacken our efl'orts, for this work lies at the. Foundation of our spiritual life. Other temples are building, and others still will be built, in the near future, provided the Saints continue their activities in this direction. We suggest to you all the motto adopted by the Genealogical Committee of our General Board in regard to every phase of this genealogical and temple work. Let us provoke the brethren to good works, and not provoke the brethren while we are doing the work. We suggest the continu ance of primary genealogical lessons 111 the various wards, and that each member of the Society shall attend one day in a temple dur ing the year 1917. Or arrange for a substitute. Excursions on regu lar days to the-temples should be undertaken, always with the sanction and approval of the presiding priesthood.
